In a recently published piece on “Global policy for assisted colonization of species”, Brodie et al. (2021) call for assisted colonisation to be embraced as a viable management option in post-2020 global conservation policies. They suggest that species, deliberately introduced beyond their historic native range and species that expand their ranges on their own in response to cli¬mate changes, should be treated identically for the purposes of policy. They also suggest expanding the use of the term “neonative” – which we previously proposed for range-expanding species that track environmental changes without human assistance (Essl et al. 2019) – so that this term also applies to species targeted for assisted colonisation. We argue that human-induced translocations differ from range-expanding species (i.e. ‘neonatives’) in key aspects, which makes lumping these two categories of species highly problematical with regard to fundamental features that relate to policy.
