Over 1200 Non‐Native Species Are Established in the Iberian Peninsula

As a consequence of globalisation, biological invasions have become an increasing concern due to multifaceted ecological and socio‐economic impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem services. Despite the increasing availability and accessibility of data, a comprehensive assessment of established non‐native species and their distribution in the Iberian Peninsula has not been conducted so far.
