Abstract 1. Niche conservatism posits that a species' non‐native populations establish in areas match their native environmental conditions. Although the Ponto‐Caspian biodiversity hotspot is major source of freshwater alien species, extent to which climatic niches diverge between invaded and ranges remains poorly understood. 2. Using an n‐dimensional hypervolume approach, we quantified niche overlap inferred patterns differentiation (shift, contraction, or expansion) among for 12 widespread amphipod species (six genera three families). 3. Our results show all experience substantially different conditions range compared range. The invasive either contracted (five species), shifted (four expanded (two (one species) relative niche. 4. We conclude although focal taxa share common geographic origin evolutionary history, they exhibit disparate change outside hypothesis receives mixed support given half studied underwent shifts/expansion. Furthermore, congeners exhibited both identical contrasting differentiation, suggesting limited phylogenetic effect. 5. uncovered diversity dynamics closely related indicates each has unique potential invasiveness long‐term persistence. This important implications predicting invasion risk refining management strategies. study also underlines importance hotspots as reservoirs highly adaptable species.

Abstract Plant invasions pose significant threats to native ecosystems, human health, and global economies. However, the complex multidimensional nature of factors influencing plant makes it challenging predict interpret their invasion success accurately. Using a robust machine learning algorithm, random forest, an extensive suite characteristics related environmental niches, species traits, propagule pressure, we developed classification model naturalized cultivated plants in China. Based on final optimal model, evaluated relative importance individual grouped variables prediction performance. Our study identified key within each three groupings: climatic suitability range size (environmental niches), phylogenetic distance closest taxon vegetative propagation mode (species traits), number botanical gardens provinces where were (propagule pressure). Remarkably, when evaluated, increased dramatically—by 13.5–17.7 times—compared with cumulative category. one category was primarily due rather than its inherent characteristics. Synthesis applications . findings emphasize necessity developing data‐driven predictive tools for effective risk assessment using large datasets. By identifying variables, recommend prioritizing surveillance alien ranges high suitability. evaluating significance enhancing interpretability by providing deeper insights into interactions among predefined This comprehensive approach can not only identify most influential predictors but also equip policymakers evidence‐based strategies surveillance, early detection, targeted intervention invasive plants.

Abstract Invasive species threaten native ecosystems, the economy and human health. Improved understanding of an invasive species’ ecological niche, whether it has differentiated in compared to range, will enable better prediction areas at risk future invasions. Here, we characterise niche common myna ( Acridotheres tristis ) starling Sturnus vulgaris ), their range Aotearoa New Zealand, where they were introduced over 140 years ago. Common are two most bird world agricultural pests, competitors fauna may act as disease vectors. Using biologically justified environmental variables occurrence data, construct models (ENMs) using five algorithms. Based on ENM algorithm with highest transferability, identify key compare niches Zealand between Zealand. For both species, find no evidence divergence despite long invasion history. However, do for differences Our suitable habitat predictions suggest little expansion already-widespread starlings but large Zealand’s South Island. results support ongoing management populations, especially Island Cook strait already provide some barrier dispersal.

Predicting the distribution of Invasive alien species (IAS) using models is promising for conservation planning. To achieve accurate predictions, it essential to explore niche dynamics. New approaches are necessary bringing this analysis real management needs. Using multi-site comparisons can provide great useful insights better understand invasion processes. Exploring fine-scale overlap between IAS and native sharing a location be key tool achieving implementation local actions, which play fundamental role in global IAS.

Invasive species are an economic and ecological burden, efforts to limit their impact greatly improved with reliable maps based on distribution models (SDMs). However, the potential of new invaders is difficult anticipate because they still spreading few observations in invaded habitat. Therefore, accepted practice predicting invasive has been incorporate habitat information from its entire geographic (invaded native ranges) into SDMs. Yet, this approach, due niche shifts, expansions, data deficiencies, commonly misrepresents where found range. Here, we use time series records (invasion stages) 13 plant North America explore tension between modeling using global range determine if there a "tipping point" at which one SDM strategy performs better than other ultimate distribution. At earliest invasion stage, developed both occurrences average performed had less variability across model strategies stage. after as 100 made, US-invaded models, average, outperformed that combined occurrences. By building US-scale predictors, show higher performance was part greater quality invaded-range scale. Our work demonstrates relatively range, it more accurate only while disregarding regions. This develops robust comprehensive approach novel distributions newly observed species.

The import of ornamental plants has become a major source alien invasive in China, posing threats to local ecosystems. However, research on their potential and management strategies remains limited. This study evaluated the invasion risks nine representative introduced (including naturalized species) China (IOPCs). Using ecospat perform climatic niche comparisons, we found significant unfilling expansion (>50%) most plants, indicating strong invasiveness. Species distribution models (SDMs) were applied predict current future distributions these IOPCs under four shared socioeconomic pathways (SSPs: SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0, SSP5-8.5) across time periods (2021–2040, 2041–2060, 2061–2080, 2081–2100). SDM results showed that high-risk areas are concentrated southern China. Under climate change, moderate- zones projected shift northward, with total increasing significantly, namely moderate-risk by 106.10% 64.35%, particularly border regions Jiangxi, Fujian, Zhejiang. We recommend establishing restricted introduction lists for non-native enhancing monitoring regions, implementing early eradication measures. quantified providing scientific basis effective control strategies.
