Biogeography and global flows of 100 major alien fungal and fungus-like oomycet...
Schertler, Anna; Lenzner, Bernd; Dullinger, Stefan; Moser, Dietmar; Bufford, Jennifer L.; Ghelardini, Luisa; Santini, Alberto; Capinha, CésarAim: Spreading infectious diseases associated with introduced pathogens can have devastating effects on native biota and human livelihoods. We analyse the global distribution of 100 major alien fungal and oomycete pathogens with substantial socio-economic and environmental impacts and examine their taxonomy, ecological characteristics, temporal accumulation trajectories, regional hot- and coldspots of taxon ric...

Regional invasion history and land use shape the prevalence of non‐native speci...
Liu, Daijun; Essl, Franz; Lenzner, Bernd; Moser, Dietmar; Semenchuk, Philipp; Blackburn, Tim M.; Cassey, Phillip; Biancolini, Dino; Capinha, CésarThe ecological impact of non-native species arises from their establishment in local assemblages. However, the rates of non-native spread in new regions and their determinants have not been comprehensively studied. Here, we combined global databases documenting the occurrence of non-native species and residence of non-native birds, mammals, and vascular plants at regional and local scales to describe how the li...
The impact of land use on non-native species incidence and number in local asse...
Liu, Daijun; Semenchuk, Philipp; Essl, Franz; Lenzner, Bernd; Moser, Dietmar; Blackburn, Tim M.; Cassey, Phillip; Biancolini, Dino; Capinha, CésarWhile the regional distribution of non-native species is increasingly well documented for some taxa, global analyses of non-native species in local assemblages are still missing. Here, we use a worldwide collection of assemblages from five taxa - ants, birds, mammals, spiders and vascular plants - to assess whether the incidence, frequency and proportions of naturalised nonnative species depend on type and inte...
Projecting the continental accumulation of alien species through to 2050
Seebens, Hanno; Bacher, Sven; Blackburn, Tim M.; Capinha, César; Dawson, Wayne; Dullinger, Stefan; Genovesi, Piero; Hulme, Philip E.; Kleunen, MarkBiological invasions have steadily increased over recent centuries. However, we still lack a clear expectation about future trends in alien species numbers. In particular, we do not know whether alien species will continue to accumulate in regional floras and faunas, or whether the pace of accumulation will decrease due to the depletion of native source pools. Here, we apply a new model to simulate future numbe...
Drivers of future alien species impacts: an expert‐based assessment
Essl, Franz; Lenzner, Bernd; Bacher, Sven; Bailey, Sarah; Capinha, César; Daehler, Curtis; Dullinger, Stefan; Genovesi, Piero; Hui, CangUnderstanding the likely future impacts of biological invasions is crucial yet highly challenging given the multiple relevant environmental, socio-economic and societal contexts and drivers. In the absence of quantitative models, methods based on expert knowledge are the best option for assessing future invasion trajectories. Here, we present an expert assessment of the drivers of potential alien species impact...
