This study shows that non-native vertebrates have changed in traits and origins over two centuries, with recent species coming from warmer, lower-latitude regions and having smaller ranges.

The paper forecasts regional arrivals of non-native vertebrates using species traits and spread history, finding high accuracy and identifying high-risk species.

The paper develops a framework to predict mosquito species' invasion potential using ecological and life-history traits, identifying 24 high-risk species likely to spread in the future.

The paper evaluates social and news media's role in improving distribution data for the Mediterranean Monk seal, finding significant data gains but persistent biases linked to human activity.

This study identifies global patterns of mosquito species introductions and their drivers, revealing 45 non-native species, 27 established, with increased introductions since the mid-20th century.

The paper assesses how non-native species alter global biogeographical patterns by analyzing 15 classical biogeographical rules.

The paper maps the distribution of invasive alien plant species in mainland Portugal and identifies environmental and human factors driving their spread.

The paper develops predictive models to map peatland potential in the Western Mediterranean using indicator plant species and environmental variables.

This study identifies factors driving biodiversity recording activity by citizen scientists, finding that weekends, mild weather, and spring months correlate with higher recording frequency.

This paper predicts phenological stages of invasive species using environmental data and opportunistic observations to improve early detection.

This study evaluates three large language models for automating ecological data extraction from text, finding GPT 4 performs best across tasks with high accuracy.
