How many alien species will there be in 2050? Seebens et al. (2020) calculate that the number of alien species will continue to increase steeply everywhere across the globe. This number of emerging alien species will rise globally by about 35% from 2005 to 2050, and each continent will gain around 1,300 new species on average. Photo credit: Andrea Anton.
