Risk analysis of species invasions links biology and economics, is increasingly mandated by
international and national policies, and enables improved management of invasive species…

Aim Impacts of non‐native species have motivated development of risk assessment tools for
identifying introduced species likely to become invasive. Here, we develop trait‐based …

Metacommunity theory suggests that relationships between diversity and ecosystem stability
can be determined by the rate of species dispersal among local communities. The predicted …

Intentional introductions of nonindigenous fishes are increasing globally. While benefits of
these introductions are easily quantified, assessments to understand the negative impacts to …

Managing invasive species with prevention and early‐detection strategies can avert severe
ecological and economic impacts. Horizon scanning, an evidence‐based process …

Desiccation following prolonged air exposure challenges survival of aquatic plants during
droughts, water drawdowns, and overland dispersal. To improve predictions of plant response …

The complexity of ecological systems is a major challenge for practitioners and decision-makers
who work to avoid, mitigate and manage environmental change. Here, we illustrate how …

Recent studies indicate that diversity–invasibility relationships can depend on spatial scale,
but the contributing role of native species dispersal among local communities in mediating …

Recent studies indicate that large‐scale spatial processes can alter local community structuring
mechanisms to determine local and regional assemblages of predators and their prey. In …
