1 Introduction Human activities have pervasively reshaped global ecosystems, causing unprecedented rates of species loss during the sixth mass extinction on Earth (Barnosky et al. 2011; Cowie, Bouchet, and Fontaine 2022; Olden, Comte, and Giam 2018).

INTRODUCTION According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List, 333 contemporary extinctions have occurred worldwide due to biological invasions and nearly 7000 species are currently at risk of extinction or extirpation due to the effects of invasive non-native species (INS) (defined by Pyšek et al. [2020]). It is expected that 2301 species will go extinct within the next 50 years (IUCN, 2022).

Located to the east of Madagascar, the bountiful, volcanic French island of Réunion has sometimes been called a sister to Hawaiian volcanoes because of the similarity in their climate and geographical nature. Those familiar with its seemingly pristine vegetation may be surprised to find out that half of the plants there were introduced by humans, even though they arrived on the island in the 16th century. So how and why did some species arrive and not others?

Saviez-vous que la moitié des plantes présentes à la Réunion ont été introduites par l’humain, pourtant arrivé tardivement sur l’île, au 16ème siècle ? Mais alors comment et pourquoi certaines espèces sont arrivées et pas d’autres ? C’est justement la question que cherche à élucider une équipe de cinq chercheurs internationaux à l’Université de Paris-Saclay, l’Océan Université de Chine et l’institut de la recherche en biodiversité de Berlin.
