Increasing evidence shows that belowground interactions are key in determining invasive plants success or failure. However, less is known about the changes that plant invasion produce in local soil biota and how non-native ...

Human activity is creating a global footprint by changing the climate, altering habitats and reshuffling the distribution of species. The movement of species around the globe has led to the naturalization and accumulation ...

Even though often based on scarce information, many actions due to conservation ofbiodiversity need to be carried out as matters of urgency. In the case of biological invasions, this is acommon situation, as the real ...

Local extinction of native species and colonization of non-native species are commonly invoked as responsible for changes in species similarity among biotas of different regions. In this study we used a model of species ...

The factors that determine patterns of non-native species richness and abundance are context dependent in both time and space. Global change has significantly boosted plant invasions in mountains, therefore, understanding ...

Most species introductions are not expected to result in invasion, and species that are invasive in one area are frequently not invasive in others. However, cases of introduced organisms that failed to invade are reported ...
