The species-area relationship is one of the most general patterns in ecology and alien species also conform to this general pattern. Yet, native and alien species are not just similar in showing positive SARs – the slope values of their respective relationships are too close to arise by coincidence. Given that alien species represent a massive natural experiment, encompassing more or less every habitat on every significant continent and island, this appears to open up an unprecedented opportunity to study the mechanisms underpinning the distribution of biodiversity worldwide.
