Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It was found that methods specifically designed for collinearity, such as latent variable methods and tree based models, did not outperform the traditional GLM and threshold-based pre-selection and the value of GLM in combination with penalised methods and thresholds when omitted variables are considered in the final interpretation.
Journal ArticleDOI
A proposed unified framework for biological invasions.

TL;DR: A unified framework for biological invasions is proposed that reconciles and integrates the key features of the most commonly used invasion frameworks into a single conceptual model that can be applied to all human-mediated invasions.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a database of 45,813 first records of 16,926 established alien species and showed that the annual rate of first records worldwide has increased during the last 200 years, with 37% of all first records reported most recently (1970-2014).

TL;DR: It is emphasised that global warming has enabled alien species to expand into regions in which they previously could not survive and reproduce and management practices regarding the occurrence of 'new' species could range from complete eradication to tolerance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Grasping at the routes of biological invasions: a framework for integrating pathways into policy
Philip E. Hulme,Sven Bacher,Marc Kenis,Stefan Klotz,Ingolf Kühn,Dan Minchin,Wolfgang Nentwig,Sergej Olenin,Vadim E. Panov,Jan Pergl,Petr Pyšek,Petr Pyšek,Alain Roques,Daniel Sol,Wojciech Solarz,Montserrat Vilà +15 more
TL;DR: A framework is proposed to facilitate the comparative analysis of invasion pathways by a wide range of taxa in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems and helps identify existing gaps in current knowledge of pathways and highlight the limitations of existing legislation to manage introductions of alien species.
