Earth's habitats are facing a big increase in the number of alien species they have to deal with. These are organisms transported beyond their original habitats as a result of human activities, where they survive and establish new populations.

They’re sometimes called exotic, non-native or introduced species.

Earth’s habitats are facing a big increase in the number of alien species they have to deal with. These are organisms transported beyond their original habitats as a result of human activities, where they survive and establish new populations. They’re sometimes called exotic, non-native or introduced species. If current trends continue, there could be as much as a 36% increase in global alien species numbers by 2050, compared with 2005.

3.8 Species invasiveness Analysing the random effects, we can identify the species with the highest invasiveness propensity (i.e., rate of spread across regions after accounting for the influences of covariates). After accounting for the other effects described above, the random invasiveness rate captures the tendency of different species to spread. Table  in Appendix  presents the top five alien species in each taxonomic group.
