1 INTRODUCTION The expansion and intensification of global trade and transport have resulted in increasing rates of intra- and intercontinental biotic exchange (Capinha et al., 2023; Hulme, 2021; IPBES, 2023; Seebens et al., 2017). While most established non-native species are currently inconspicuous additions to regional biotas, a sizable minority causes considerable ecological damages (Diagne et al., 2021; Kumschick et al., 2015; Vilà et al., 2011).

AbstractAlthough invasive alien species have long been recognized as a major threat to nature and people, until now there has been no comprehensive global review of the status, trends, drivers, impacts, management and governance challenges of biological invasions.

AbstractWhile 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 non-native species depend on type and intensity of land use.
