Geographic range expansion of alien birds and environmental matching - Su - 2016 - Ibis - Wiley Online Library | Biodiversité | Scoop.it
The international wildlife trade is a significant source of introduced alien species, some of which proceed to become invasive and cause negative environmental and economic effects. However, not all introduced aliens establish viable populations, and it is important to identify the factors that determine establishment success. We explore the role of environmental suitability (including anthropogenic influences, climate and habitat types) in the establishment success of alien bird species introduced to Taiwan.
