Despite mounting calls for predictive ecological approaches rooted in physiological performance currencies, the field of invasive species biology has lagged behind. For instance, successful invaders are often predicted to consume diverse foods, but the nutritional complexity of foods often leaves food-level analyses short of physiological mechanisms. The emerging field of nutritional geometry (NG) provides new theory and empirical tools to predict invasive potential based on fundamental and realized nutritional niches. We review recent advances and synthesize NG predictions about behavioral traits that favor invasive establishment, and evolutionary dynamics that promote invasive spread. We also provide practical advice for applying NG approaches, and discuss the power of nutrition to achieve a more predictive invasion biology that explicitly integrates physiological mechanisms.

尽管越来越多地呼吁以生理表现货币为基础的预测生态方法，但入侵物种生物学领域已经落后了。例如，通常预测成功的入侵者会食用不同的食物，但食物的营养复杂性往往使食物水平的分析缺乏生理机制。营养几何学 (NG) 的新兴领域提供了新的理论和经验工具，可以根据基本的和已实现的营养位来预测侵入性潜力。我们回顾了最近的进展并综合了关于有利于侵入性建立的行为特征和促进侵入性传播的进化动力学的 NG 预测。我们还为应用 NG 方法提供实用建议，
