Fig. 1. Current distribution of the non-native species Onthophagus taurus in the continental US (as of January 2024). Dark gray indicates states in which O. taurus was recorded previously, light gray indicates states with new records, and white indicates states with no records. The star represents the new state record described herein; dots represent records in previously unrecorded states. Previous records were compiled from Floate et al. (2017) and Bezanson and Floate (2019). Bezanson and Floate (2019) included states where O. taurus was recorded and states considered suitable for establishment based on climate analysis. States that were listed as suitable for establishment but lacked verified records in Bezanson and Floate (2019) were not considered states in which O. taurus was recorded previously. New state records (those not included in Bezanson and Floate 2019 or Floate et al. 2017) were compiled from data publicly available on GBIF (2024), observations on BugGuide (2024) and iNaturalist (2024), Gigliotti et al. (2019), Smith (1997), and personal communication (E. L. McCullough, September 2023). When coordinates were not available from the original data source, the geographic center of known locations (county records, island records, parks) was used. Only records with supporting images that accurately depicted O. taurus were considered for inclusion from iNaturalist and BugGuide. net. Supplemental data are available at https://bit.ly/3rKgAuI.

Data from: Standing genetic diversity and selection at functional gene loci are associated with differential invasion success in two non-native fish species
Invasive species are expected to experience a unique combination of high genetic drift due to demographic factors while also experiencing strong selective pressures. The paradigm that reduced genetic diversity should limit the evolutionary potential of invasive species and thus their potential for range expansion has received little empirical support, possibly due to the choice of genetic markers. Our goal was to test for effects of genetic drift and selection at functional genetic markers as they relate to the invasion success of two paired invasive goby species, one widespread (successful) and one with limited range expansion (less successful). We genotyped fish using two marker types: single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in known-function, protein-coding genes and microsatellites to contrast the effects of neutral genetic processes. We identified reduced allelic variation in the invaded range for the less-successful tubenose goby. SNPs putatively under selection were responsible for the observed differences in population structure between marker types for round goby (successful) but not tubenose goby (less successful). A higher proportion of functional loci experienced divergent selection for round goby, suggesting increased evolutionary potential in invaded ranges may be associated with round goby's greater invasion success. Genes involved in thermal tolerance were divergent for round goby populations but not tubenose goby, consistent with the hypothesis that invasion success for fish in temperate regions is influenced by capacity for thermal tolerance. Our results highlight the need to incorporate functional genetic markers in studies to better assess evolutionary potential for the improved conservation and management of species.
Data from: Temporal dynamics of plant-soil feedback and root-associated fungal communities over 100 years of invasion by a non-native plant
1. Pathogens can accumulate on invasive plants over time, which could lead to population declines. The time required for these dynamics to occur is unknown and seldom addressed. Furthermore, no study has assessed plant-soil feedback while characterising plant pathogen and mutualist root fungal communities in the context of invasion time. 2. We used a plant-soil feedback study and 454 pyrosequencing to investigate pathogen accumulation over 100 years on a highly invasive plant in eastern North America that shows localised declines, Vincetoxicum rossicum (Apocynaceae). 3. We collected soil from five sites representing each of four invasion periods of V. rossicum across Ontario, Canada (old, ~100 years; intermediate, 50-60 years; young, <12 years; and uninvaded), and grew V. rossicum in these soils in a glasshouse study. Our hypothesis was that plants grown in soils invaded for longer periods of time would experience less positive feedbacks compared to those grown in more recently invaded or uninvaded soils. We collected roots of V. rossicum from the invasion periods and performed 454 pyrosequencing targeting fungi. We hypothesised that the abundance and richness of fungi that are known plant pathogens would be higher in roots from older invasions compared to more recent invasions. 4. Contrasting with our hypothesis, V. rossicum experienced overall growth promotion due to soil biota, regardless of invasion period. Vincetoxicum rossicum roots were colonised by a large number of fungal taxa, including many known plant pathogens or mutualistic arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. However, we found no evidence of pathogen accumulation in older invaded sites in terms of species composition, richness or abundance. 5. Synthesis: Our consistent results in the glasshouse and the field highlight the strength of combining high-throughput sequencing data with plant-soil feedback experiments. We showed that the roots of Vincetoxicum rossicum (Apocynaceae) were colonised by many fungal taxa, but found no evidence for changes in plant growth or accumulation of fungal pathogens with longer invasion time. High pathogen loads may not lead to concurrent declines in invasive plants. Plant invasions, as demonstrated by V. rossicum, may be unpredictable in their ability to accumulate pathogens capable of leading to population declines.
Invasion disharmony in the global biogeography of native and non-native beetle species
<p>These data consist of a comprehensive list (as of 2020) of all known non-native Coleoptera (beetle) species established in 10 world regions: North America (excluding Mexico), Japan, the Okinawa and Ogasawara Islands, the Hawaiian Islands, South Korea, Europe (including the European part of Russia), New Zealand, Australia, and the Galapagos Islands. It does not include species that were known to have been intentionally introduced, species that failed to establish or species that only exist indoors (e.g., in greenhouses). Taxonomy of each species was verified using the GBIF backbone taxonomy.</p> <p>We also include tables summarizing numbers of Coleoptera species in each family for both native and non-native species established in each of the 10 regions</p>
Data from: Consequences of aboveground invasion by non-native plants into restored vernal pools do not prompt changes in belowground processes
<p>Given the frequent overlap between biological plant invasion and ecological restoration efforts it is important to investigate their interactions to sustain desirable plant communities and modify long-term legacies both above and belowground. To address this relationship, we used natural reference, invaded, and constructed vernal pools in the Central Valley of California to examine potential changes in direct and indirect plant effects on soils associated with biological invasion and active restoration ecosystem disturbances. Our results showed that through a shift in vegetation composition and changes in the plant community tissue chemistry, invasion by non-native plant species has the potential to transform plant inputs to soils in vernal pool systems. In particular, we found that while non-native litter decomposition was driven by seasonal and interannual variability, associated with changes in precipitation, the overall decomposition for non-native litter was drastically lower than native species. This shift has important implications for long-term alterations in plant-based inputs to soils in a negative feedback to nutrient cycling. Moreover, these results were independent of historic active restoration efforts. Despite the consistent shift in plant litter decomposition rates and community composition, we did not detect associated shifts in belowground function associated with invasion by non-native plants. Instead, soil C:N ratios and microbial biomass did not differ between invaded and reference naturally occurring pools but were reduced in the manipulated restored pools independent of invasion levels. Our results suggest that while there is an observed invasive positive feedback aboveground, this trajectory is not necessarily represented belowground and restoration legacies were still dominant ten years after practices were applied. Restoration practices that limit invasive plant feedbacks and account for soil legacy recovery, therefore offer the best solution for disturbed ephemeral ecosystems.</p>
Non-native species outperform natives in coastal marine ecosystems subjected to warming and freshening events - A meta-analysis of coastal marine native and non-native species responses to experimentally manipulated climatic events
<p><b>Aims</b>: Contemporary climate change and biological invasions are two main drivers of biodiversity redistribution. Interactive effects between these drivers have been reported in a number of study systems, yet results are conflicting. Some studies find that future climate change facilitates the spread and success of non-native species, especially those with broad physiological tolerances. Other studies conclude that non-natives are vulnerable to current and future changes in climatic conditions. Given that most studies have focused on terrestrial species, here we contribute to this debate by analysing responses of coastal native and non-native fauna and flora to key climate-related stressors namely increased temperature (warming) and decreased salinity (freshening).</p> <p><b>Location: </b>Global.</p> <p><b>Time period: </b>2002 – 2019.</p> <p><b>Major taxa studied: </b>Marine benthic<b> </b>macrophytes and invertebrates.</p> <p><b>Methods</b>: We conducted a meta-analysis of results from experiments investigating the performance (e.g., growth, survival and reproduction) of sessile and sedentary species from benthic marine communities to warming and freshening.</p> <p><b>Results</b>: We found evidence of positive responses to elevated temperature across a range of biological processes on non-native species, whereas the performance of native species declined. Similarly, decreased salinity negatively affected the biological processes of native species, but non-natives<span> showed no positive or negative overall response to freshening</span>.</p> <p><b>Main conclusions:</b> Our study showed that non-native species outperform natives under a wide variety of warming and freshening conditions. The growth and reproduction of non-natives are enhanced by warmer temperatures, and thus ocean warming is expected to facilitate future spread and success of non-native species. Increased freshening, however, <span>will likely have a negative impact in the future in both native and non-native species and thus is expected to be a driver of significant change in coastal marine ecosystems. Our</span> comprehensive literature search revealed the need of more <span>studies </span>focusing on s<span>alinity changes and highlighted the need to expand our understanding of climate change drivers beyond warming.</span></p>
Ecomorphological relationships and invasion history of non-native terrestrial bird species on O'ahu, Hawai'i suggests ecological fitting during community assembly
The widespread introduction of species has created novel communities in many areas of the world. Since introduced species tend to have generalized ecologies and often lack shared evolutionary history with other species in their communities, it would be expected that the relationship between form and function (i.e. ecomorphology) may change in novel communities. We tested this expectation in a subset of the novel bird community on O'ahu, Hawai'i. By relating foraging behavior observations to morphology obtained from live birds at four sites across the island, we found many relationships between species' morphology and foraging ecology that mirrored relationships found in the literature for native dominated bird communities. Both movement and certain foraging behaviors were related to a species' tarsus to wing ratio. Further, bill morphology was related to gleaning, frugivory, and flycatching behaviors. The commonness of significant ecomorphological relationships suggests that, within O'ahu's novel bird community, form is strongly related to function. We hypothesize that ecological fitting likely played a major role in the assembly of this novel community conserving the relationships between form and function found in many other bird communities. To further support this hypothesis, we used niche data from EltonTraits 1.0 to determine if the establishment of bird species introduced to O'ahu was related to the distinctiveness of their ecological niche from the incumbent community. Introduced species were more likely to establish on O'ahu if their diets were less similar to the bird species already present on the island. Our results support the idea that ecological fitting is an important mechanism in shaping ecological communities, especially in the Anthropocene, thereby influencing novel community assembly and functioning.
Evaluating impacts of non-native submerged aquatic vegetation on native nekton
<p>These data accompany the publication of the same name. We performed a quantitative meta-analysis to quantify impacts of non-native submerged aquatic vegetation on native crabs, fishes, and shrimps in coastal, estuarine, and marine systems. We found that nekton abundance, species richness, and biomass were the most assessed metrics of nekton performance. We extracted data from 35 studies and evaluated 11 response metrics related to inter-specific facilitation, restricting our analysis to studies that compared at least one of these metrics in nekton from co-occurring native and non-native SAV habitats in marine, coastal, or estuarine systems.</p>
