Vellend dataset

Word cloud of some of the species that contributed to increased richness in 151 studies listed by Vellend et al. [8] that had taxonomic data available. The font size of species names is proportional to the number of global biogeographic regions where they are naturalized. Different species indicated by the same font colors are naturalized in the same number of regions. For illustrative purposes, only species that have been documented as naturalized in at least 20 biogeographic regions (n=186) are included. Most of these are common invasive species such as wall speedwell Veronica arvensis (A, Rasbak / CC-BY-SA-157 3.0), Bermuda grass Cynodon dactylon (B, Forest and Kim Starr / CC-BY-SA-3.0), ribwort plantain Plantago lanceolata (C, Forest and Kim Starr / CC-BY-SA-3.0) and common knotgrass Polygonum aviculare (D, Matt Lavin / CC-BY-SA-3.0).
