A kernel integral method to remove biases in estimating trait turnover

This paper introduces a kernel integral method (KIM) to compute trait turnover, showing it better aligns with theoretical expectations and is less sensitive to species number than existing methods.

Invasive alien insects represent a clear but variable threat to biodiversity

This study examines the environmental impacts of invasive alien insects and explores factors influencing their severity across different geographic distributions.

The Global Register of Introduced and Invasive Species: Country Compendium

The paper compiles country-level data on introduced and invasive species to support global monitoring and policy reporting.

G-IRAE: a Generalised approach for linking the total Impact of invasion to species' Range, Abundance and per-unit Effects

The paper introduces G-IRAE, a method to estimate the total impact of alien species by linking range, abundance, and per-unit effects, and applies it to management costs.

Policy-relevant indicators for invasive alien species assessment and reporting

The paper introduces three policy-relevant indicators for assessing invasive alien species, focusing on spread rates, impact risk, and status information.

Alternative futures for global biological invasions

The paper develops global biological invasion scenarios through a participatory process, highlighting socio-economic and policy factors as key drivers alongside ecological ones.

Microclimates can be accurately predicted across ecologically important remote ecosystems

The paper predicts microclimate conditions across a remote polar island ecosystem using hybrid models, showing accurate results despite data source differences.

A multiregional assessment of transnational pathways of introduction

The paper assesses multiregional trends in alien species introduction pathways using standardized data, finding increased documentation of escape pathways and stowaways, while highlighting data gaps.

The application of zeta diversity as a continuous measure of compositional change in ecology

This paper applies zeta diversity to study compositional change across multiple biological systems, showing its utility in capturing biodiversity turnover patterns.
