Abstract Brief introduction: What are microclimates and why they important? Microclimate science has developed into a global discipline. is increasingly used to understand mitigate climate biodiversity shifts. Here, we provide an overview of the current status microclimate ecology biogeography in terrestrial ecosystems, where this field heading next. investigations We highlight latest research on interactions between organisms, including how influence individuals, through them populations,...
Significance Because of the globalization trade and travel, worldwide invasion rates are high. A potential driver global acceleration new invasions is so-called bridgehead effect, in which initial invasive populations serve as source additional via secondary introductions. However, frequency overall importance introductions remain largely unknown. Using a remarkable dataset, spanning nearly 100 years (1914–2013), ant interceptions at air maritime ports United States New Zealand, we found...
Abstract Termites are ubiquitous insects in tropical, subtropical, and warm temperate regions play an important role ecosystems. Several termite species also significant economic pests, mainly urban areas where they attack human‐made structures, but natural forest habitats. Worldwide, approximately 28 considered invasive have spread beyond their native ranges, often with consequences. We used predictive climate modeling to provide the first global risk assessment for 13 of world's most...
Abstract Criticism has been levelled at climate‐change‐induced forecasts of species range shifts that do not account explicitly for complex population dynamics. The relative importance such dynamics under climate change is, however, undetermined because direct tests comparing the performance demographic models vs. simpler ecological niche are still lacking owing to difficulties in evaluating using real‐world data. We provide first comparison skill coupled ecological‐niche‐population and...
The pet trade has become a multibillion-dollar global business, with tens of millions animals traded annually. Pets are sometimes released by their owners or escape, and can introduced outside native range, threatening biodiversity, agriculture, health. So far, comprehensive analysis invasive species as pets is lacking. Here, using unique dataset 7,522 vertebrate species, we show that strongly overrepresented in across mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish. However, it unclear whether...
As part of national biosecurity programs, cargo imports, passenger baggage, and international mail are inspected at ports entry to verify compliance with phytosanitary regulations intercept potentially damaging nonnative species prevent their introduction. Detection organisms during inspections may also provide crucial information about the composition relative arrival rates in invasion pathways that can inform implementation other practices such as quarantines surveillance. In most regions,...
Thousands of insect species have been introduced outside their native ranges, and some them strongly impact ecosystems human societies. Because a large fraction insects feed on or are associated with plants, nonnative plants provide habitat resources for invading insects, thereby facilitating establishment. Furthermore, plant imports represent one the main pathways accidental introductions. Here, we tested hypothesis that invasions precede promote invasions. We found geographical variation...
Abstract The globalization of trade and human movement has resulted in the accidental dispersal thousands alien species worldwide at an unprecedented scale. Some these are considered invasive because their extensive spatial spread or negative impacts on native biodiversity. Explaining which become is a major challenge invasion biology, it often assumed that invasiveness linked to greater ability establish novel climates. To test whether have expanded more into climates than non-invasive...
Abstract Globalization and economic growth are recognized as key drivers of biological invasions. Alien species have become a feature almost every community worldwide, rates new introductions continue to rise the movement people goods accelerates. Insects among most numerous problematic alien organisms, mainly introduced unintentionally with imported cargo or arriving passengers. However, processes occurring prior insect remain poorly understood. We used unique dataset 1,902,392 border...
Abstract Aim Non‐native species are part of almost every biological community worldwide, yet numbers establishments have an uneven global distribution. Asymmetrical exchanges between regions likely influenced by a range mechanisms, including propagule pressure, native pools, environmental conditions and biosecurity. While the importance different mechanisms is to vary among invasion stages, those occurring prior establishment (transport introduction) difficult account for. We used records...
