The paper assesses progress toward global biodiversity targets on islands, finding insufficient progress and major gaps in indicators and objectives.

This study shows that non-native vertebrates have changed in traits and origins over two centuries, with recent species coming from warmer, lower-latitude regions and having smaller ranges.

The paper forecasts regional arrivals of non-native vertebrates using species traits and spread history, finding high accuracy and identifying high-risk species.

The paper examines how European colonialism impacts biological and linguistic diversity threats globally, finding that colonial duration correlates with increased threat levels.

This study shows non-native species disrupt global plant biogeography by reducing distinct floristic realms and subrealms, with environmental factors remaining key in structuring plant distributions.

This study identifies global patterns of mosquito species introductions and their drivers, revealing 45 non-native species, 27 established, with increased introductions since the mid-20th century.

The paper assesses threatened alien mammals, identifies their conservation status, and evaluates the impact of including them in extinction risk assessments.
