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

The paper quantifies global shifts in plant functional trait composition due to human introductions, finding convergence toward smaller, more acquisitive, and shorter-lived assemblages.

This study presents the first global checklist of island bees, revealing high diversity and endemism, with patterns influenced by island size, isolation, and biome.

This study examines climatic niche changes in non-native plants across multiple regions, finding that niche dynamics depend on introduction history and biogeographic context rather than ecological traits.

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 examines the global biogeography of ferns with chlorophyllous spores, finding that their distribution is influenced by both environmental factors and phylogenetic clustering.

This study quantifies uncertainty in species distribution model-based blacklists for invasive plants by evaluating the impact of occurrence data, environmental predictors, algorithms, and thresholding methods.

The paper investigates the factors behind low plant diversity in tropical Africa using ferns, finding that Paleogene extinctions and Neogene dispersals shaped current diversity.
