Abstract

This article describes the chronology of scientific papers dealing with invasive biology. The genesis of this new discipline is characterized. The focus is on the study of invasions of plant organisms. The main tasks of the discipline are formulated and results are described. It is shown that over 40 years, single finds of alien plant species have turned into a list of invasive species in Russia, identifying the most significant invasion vectors, and determining the rate of microevolutionary changes in species of the secondary distribution range. The inventory data made it possible to conduct monitoring studies of biological invasions and alien species in general, which will help reduce the economic costs of combating invasive species. However, the dynamics of the invasive component determines the need to continue inventory work, especially in Siberia and the Far East.
