Quantifying reviewer declines in scientific publishing: twenty-one years of data from biological invasions 2002–2024 Open
The peer review process has been fundamental to scientific publishing since the mid-twentieth century because it helps to ensure scientific rigor and integrity. However, as fewer scientists seem willing to undertake manuscript review and t…

Biological invasions: a global assessment of geographic distributions, long‐term trends, and data gaps Open
Biological invasions are one of the major drivers of biodiversity decline and have been shown to have far‐reaching consequences for society and the economy. Preventing the introduction and spread of alien species represents the most effect…

An invasive appetite: Combining molecular and stable isotope analyses to reveal the diet of introduced house mice (Mus musculus) on a small, subtropical island Open
House mice ( Mus musculus ) pose a conservation threat on islands, where they adversely affect native species’ distributions, densities, and persistence. On Sand Island of Kuaihelani, mice recently began to depredate nesting adult mōlī (La…
