The control and management of the invasive species identified in this study should be a high priority for global biological conservation, thereby contributing towards the achievement of the goals of the Post-2020 Framework of the Convention on Biological Diversity. Further research on the impacts of ...
Impacts from several of the other threats, in particular from natural disasters, are associated with the impact from invasive alien species. Three of the threats of anthropogenic origin, namely habitat loss, harvesting, and human disturbance, co-occur randomly with impact from invaders, and we ...

Threatened spe- cies data (threat ranking and associated spatial attrib- utes) have many advantages, among them the ability to integrate information across threatening processes, some of which are otherwise difficult to map regionally or globally (e.g. invasive species, hunting), or are diffi- ...

It is widely supposed that many wild species face the prospect of extinction in their current range in the face of the overwhelming adversities of climate change, habitat loss and fragmentation. The latter will be a major factor preventing species from tracking progressive climate change or leap-...
Predicting the spread of invasive species and understanding the role of niche dynamics in niche transferability are critical challenges in the management of biological invasions, both theoretically and practically. We used complementary species distribution modelling approaches, such as multivariate niche ...
