Abstract

In response to a comment on our previous paper documenting the existence of invasion debt, we show that the close correlation between current numbers of established alien species and socioeconomic indicators from 100 y ago is a reality, not an artifact, and that it actually indicates the legacy of past introductions realized by a delayed process of species establishment.
