Global slowdown in the rate of invasive alien species establishment

The paper shows a 35% reduction in new invasive alien species establishment over 50 years, indicating effective global policies.

Global Convergence of Plant Functional Trait Composition in the Anthropocene

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

Global disruption of plant biogeography by non-native species

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.

Darwin's Naturalization Conundrum explained by gradients of environmental stress and disturbance

The paper examines Darwin's Naturalization Conundrum by analyzing phylogenetic relatedness of non-native plant species along environmental gradients, finding that relatedness decreases with elevation and disturbance.

Biodiversity trends are stronger in marine than terrestrial assemblages

The paper analyzes biodiversity trends across 50,000 time-series, finding stronger compositional change and species turnover in marine assemblages compared to terrestrial ones.
