In our recent publication, we proposed that the increasing number of range-expanding species that track human-induced environ¬mental change warrant specific rec¬ognition in science and biodiversity management, and we proposed the term “neonative” for these taxa. In the present letter, we reply to two letters (Wilson 2020, Sagoff 2020) that criti¬cized specific but different aspects pre¬sented in our publication. We disagree on several points with both authors, but acknowledge that a broader discourse is needed for developing robust and widely accepted definitions and terms for the ever more important phenomenon of neonative species.
