As Earth’s climate rapidly changes, species range shifts are considered key to species persistence. However, some range-shifting species will alter community structure and ecosystem processes. By adapting existing invasion risk assessment frameworks, we can identify characteristics shared with high-impact introductions and thus predict potential impacts. There are fundamental differences between introduced and range-shifting species, primarily shared evolutionary histories between range shifters and their new community. Nevertheless, impacts can occur via analogous mechanisms, such as wide dispersal, community disturbance and low biotic resistance. As ranges shift in response to climate change, we have an opportunity to develop plans to facilitate advantageous movements and limit those that are problematic.

随着地球气候的快速变化，物种范围的变化被认为是物种持久性的关键。但是，一些变迁物种会改变群落结构和生态系统过程。通过改编现有的入侵风险评估框架，我们可以确定与高影响力介绍相同的特征，从而预测潜在影响。外来物种和范围转移物种之间存在根本差异，主要是范围迁移者与其新社区之间有着共同的进化历史。然而，影响可能通过类似的机制发生，例如广泛传播，社区干扰和低生物抗性。随着范围随着气候变化而变化，我们有机会制定计划以促进有利的运动并限制有问题的运动。
