Quantifying global colonization pressures of alien vertebrates from wildlife trade
Abstract The global trade in live wildlife elevates the risk of biological invasions by increasing colonization pressure (the number of alien species introduced to an area). Yet, our understanding of species traded as aliens remains limited. We created a comprehensive global database on live terrest...
