1 Introduction Biological invasions pose a significant threat to biodiversity (Allendorf and Lundquist 2003; Vantarová et al. 2023; Walker and Steffen 1997), causing the decline of native species (Mollot et al. 2017), disrupting ecosystem functions (Linders et al. 2019) and contributing to hybridisation with native species (Muhlfeld et al. 2014; Rhymer and Simberloff 1996). They also cause major economic impacts, resulting in global annual costs surpassing US$423 billion (IPBES 2023).
