The distribution and spread of the invasive alien common myna, Acridotheres tristis L. (Aves: Sturnidae), in southern Africa (2007, background): “In 2000, the World Conservation Union (IUCN) declared the common myna as one of only three birds among the ‘World’s 100 worst’ invasive species.(12) It has been suggested that the common myna poses a threat to indigenous biodiversity through competition for food and nesting resources and aggressive ”
Predictor complexity and feature selection affect Maxent model transferability: Evidence from global freshwater invasive species (2020, background): “…species were chosen as they are (a) invaders with long histories of introductions and establishments (Ficetola et al., 2007; Lodge et al., 2012; Lowe et al., 2000; Palaoro et al., 2013; Weyl et al., 2016), and thus more likely to be at equilibrium with the environment in non-native regions,…”
The 100th of the world’s worst invasive alien species (2014, background): “This list of 100 species was derived according to two criteria: their serious impact on biodiversity and/or on human activities, and their potential to illustrate important issues surrounding biological invasions (Lowe et al. 2004).”
Present and future distribution of three aquatic plants taxa across the world: decrease in native and increase in invasive ranges (2017, background): “There are 15 taxa living in inland aquatic ecosystems in the list of the 100 world’s worst invasive species from IUCN (Lowe et al. 2004), while this biotope represents less than 1% of the earth’s surface.”
Introduction, establishment and effects of non‐native salmonids: considering the risk of rainbow trout invasion in the United Kingdom* (2007, background): “Because of their widespread effects, these two trout species are listed by the World Conservation Union Global Invasive Species Programme as among 100 of the World’s Worst Invasive Alien Species (Lowe et al., 2004), along with six other fish species.”
