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).

1 INTRODUCTION The vast majority of temperate forests and much of the boreal forest have been heavily transformed by human activities. Of the remaining forested areas, only 10% of northern hemisphere temperate and southern boreal forests and 64% of northern boreal forests are considered to be intact (Potapov et al., 2017). Much of the human impact is driven by harvest, which is the dominant form of disturbance across temperate and southern boreal forests (Curtis et al., 2018).

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.
