Aim
Invasive species are one of the main causes of biodiversity loss world-wide. As introduced populations increase in abundance and geographical range, so does the potential for negative impacts on native communities. As such, there is a need to better understand the processes driving range expansion as species become established in recipient landscapes.
We investigated the potential for population growth and range expansion of introduced populations of a non-native lizard (Podarcis muralis ), considering multi-scale factors influencing growth and spatial spread.
