Abstract: Globalization and economic growth are widely recognized as important drivers of biological invasions. Consequently, there is an increasing need for governments to address the role of international trade in their strategies to prevent species introductions. However, many of the most problematic alien species are not recent arrivals but were introduced several decades ago. Hence, current patterns of alien-species richness may better reflect historical rather than contemporary human activities, a phenomenon which… Show more

“…An increasing number of studies already advance in that direction, e.g., by analyzing historic catalogues (Dehnen-Schmutz et al 2007;Blackburn et al 2010), by explaining patterns in alien species richness based on indicators of current and historic socio-economic conditions (Hulme 2009;Essl et al 2010), or by considering factors like economic value of species and invasions (Born et al 2005;Gozlan et al 2010). Another way to bridge the gap between ecology and social sciences is to combine vector science (Carlton and Ruiz 2005) with the study of continually shifting global decentralized networks (Barabási 2002).…”

“…Furthermore, molecular methods increasingly reveal that what had been regarded as 'invasion' might instead result from new genotypes from distant sources [29]. Concern is also heightened because many introduced populations remain innocuous for extended periods before spreading and becoming invasive [30,31]. For instance, Brazilian pepper remained restricted in Florida for a century before rapidly expanding across a wide area [30], whereas plants introduced to Europe might take 150-400 years to reach their fullest areal extent [32].…”

“…The main potential for invasion probably lies with past arrivals because those introduced species are already surviving in the region, and climate change could help them spread (Hellmann et al 2008;Essl et al 2011).…”
