Aim To quantify global latitudinal patterns in the distributions of alien bird species to assess whether these species conform to Rapoport’s rule (i.e. show a positive latitudinal gradient in latitudinal range extent), and to test whether where species are introduced, and where species fail to establish, may help to drive observed patterns.
