Abstract Aim Worldwide, floras are becoming homogenized at global scales, but regional patterns vary. Here, we present the first assessment for Malesian phytogeographical region in terms of timing introductions, direction, magnitude and drivers floristic change due to alien plant naturalizations. Location phytogeographic region, including Southeast Asia Pacific. Taxon Tracheophyta (vascular plants). Methods We compiled data on records naturalized plants Malesia investigate temporal trends rate origin introductions. then calculated β‐diversity (including turnover nestedness) native, Anthropocene (native + naturalized) each pair island groups (36 pairs), a homogenization index native floras, using presence/absence 31,580 species. Mantel tests were used geographic, climatic anthropogenic correlates dissimilarity homogenization. Results Around 75% all species documented date already reported time within prior 1950. This has led between historic (native) contemporary (Anthropocene) group pairs. Turnover was most important process driving compositional resulted from decreases nestedness turnover. Differences average taxonomic associated with differences their level modification. Main Conclusions study improves current understanding direction one world's diverse tropical regions. Alien introductions carry long historical legacy Malesia, naturalizations these have overall region's flora. Expected increases human modification, without appropriate policy, will likely lead further reductions uniqueness groups.

Abstract Climate change and biological invasions represent significant drivers of biodiversity loss, changes in climate land use can also synergistically influence the naturalization alien species into new areas. Therefore, reporting transition plant along casual-naturalization-invasion continuum be crucial to early detection their timely management with lower costs. Here, we report distribution recently naturalized Matricaria discoidea DC. (Pineapple-weed) Ladakh, a remote region located Trans-Himalayan Ladakh. We provide taxonomic description M. photo-illustrations its distinctive characters for easy field identification. Based on sampling communities dominated by discoidea, found it positively associated that habitat preferences similar but negatively several native occurred same community. Our findings suggest this newly potentially spread throughout trans-Himalayan may have ecological consequences, including negative impact diversity region.
