Biological invasion is one of the main threats to native biodiversity. For a species to become invasive, it must be voluntarily or involuntarily introduced by humans into a nonnative habitat. Mammals were among first taxa to be introduced worldwide for game, meat, and labor, yet the number of species introduced in the Neotropics remains unknown.

- Scientists aim to uncover the reasons behind the Neotropical region's high bird diversity by examining factors like climate and human impact on morphological variation.
- The ATLANTIC BIRD TRAITS dataset includes over 67,000 bird records spanning 711 species in South America’s Atlantic forests, covering up to 44 morphological traits collected over 200 years.
- This dataset, which is the most extensive of its kind in a biodiversity hotspot, supports both basic scientific research and practical conservation efforts.
