TL;DR: Recent progress in understanding invasion impacts and management is highlighted, and the challenges that the discipline faces in its science and interactions with society are discussed.

TL;DR: The issues relevant to those types of ecosystems containing new combinations of species that arise through human action, environmental change, and the impacts of the deliberate and inadvertent introduction of species from other regions are explored.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors synthesize contemporary understanding of the ecology, biology and geology of Mediterranean animals, birds, and plants, and their habitats, focusing on the historical determinants and spatial patterns of Mediterranean biodiversity.

TL;DR: In this article, the implications of climate change for the broader practice of ecological restoration must be considered, and the usefulness of historical ecosystem conditions as targets and references must be set against the likelihood that restoring these historic ecosystems is unlikely to be easy, or even possible, in the changed biophysical conditions of the future.

TL;DR: It is shown that restoration projects can be effective in enhancing both biodiversity and multiple services, but that conflicts can arise, especially if single services are targeted in isolation.
