A scoping literature review on the impacts of non-native species on the native terrestrial biodiversity of an oceanic island

Limited attention has been given to indirect mechanisms and the impacts of non-native species on biotic interactions. Future studies should prioritise these areas, as indirect mechanisms may reveal cumulative and often insidious pathways through which non-native species accelerate biodiversity loss, especially on islands. Investigating their effects on biotic interactions is critical for detecting cascading impacts to inform more effective and comprehensive conservation strategies.
