Alien species inventories underpin our understanding of geographic patterns of invasions. This new paper presents the first list of alien species known from Namibia & is a key step in improving our understanding of invasions in southern Africa. #bioinvasions

I like finding old references to species invasions. Here is a 19th century book describing the impacts of an introduced fish: Millet (1871) observed that introduced burbot (Lota lota) became so abundant in Lake Geneva as to cause the loss of native brown trout. #bioinvasions #invasivespecies

Intriguing article about a study that contradicts Elton's biodiversity-resistance hypothesis. Diverse microbial communities whose resident populations fluctuate are more likely to be invaded than stable species-poor communities. #bioinvasions #invasivespecies

CLIMEX Match Climate Composite Match Index (CMI) overlaid with Tipuana tipu distribution location records, projected globally. Insets show the native range, part of South America, part of southern Africa, southwest Australia, and an area of eastern Australia with high levels of cultivation and/or naturalisation. Areas with an orange-red colour (CMI 0.8–1) had high CMI values. Areas with a blue colour (CMI 0.6–0.8) had a climate with moderate CMI values. Records of T. tipu are shown as open circles. Pink circles represent records of plants within the native range. All other colours represent plant records in the non-native range, with purple representing cultivated plant records, yellow representing non-cultivated plant records, green representing records with both cultivated and non-cultivated plants and brown representing plant records where the cultivation status was indeterminate.
The interplay between climatic niche and spatial distribution can inform the management of non-native invasive species. Our findings reveal that the invasion risk for species with small geographic ranges may be greater than assumed.
