Human actions have led to large‐scale shifts in the distributions of species, which have accelerated over recent decades. Two contributing factors include the introduction of non‐native species to new regions, and more recently, the shift of species into new ranges to track a human‐altered climate. While the context of these species redistributions is different, we argue here that scientists studying the effects of either invasion or range shifting are interested in the same underlying mechanistic questions: (1) What traits make a species likely to survive in a new location? and (2) Which recipient ecosystems are likely to support a newly arrived species? A survey of the theoretical literature surrounding these topics demonstrates the usefulness of this comparison and highlights key differences between range shifting and invasion in factors including genetic diversity, climatic tolerance, local adaptation, and coevolutionary history. This review does not support the blanket application of an invasion framework to climate change‐induced range shifts. However, we suggest the use of modified invasion theories, experimental designs, and risk assessments could aid in predicting outcomes and prioritizing management resources for climate‐threatened species.

理论回顾：比较入侵生态学和气候变化引起的范围转移


人类活动导致了物种分布的大规模变化，这种变化在近几十年来加速了。两个促成因素包括将非本地物种引入新地区，以及最近物种转移到新的范围以跟踪人类改变的气候。虽然这些物种重新分布的背景不同，但我们在这里认为，研究入侵或范围转移影响的科学家对相同的潜在机制问题感兴趣：（1） 哪些特征使物种有可能在新地点生存？（2） 哪些接收生态系统可能支持新到达的物种？对围绕这些主题的理论文献的调查证明了这种比较的有用性，并突出了范围转移和入侵在遗传多样性、气候耐受性、局部适应和协同进化历史等因素方面的主要差异。本综述不支持将入侵框架全面应用于气候变化引起的范围变化。然而，我们建议使用改进的入侵理论、实验设计和风险评估可能有助于预测结果和优先考虑气候受威胁物种的管理资源。
