The data are used to produce the results shown in Seebens, Essl &amp; Blasius: The intermediate distance hypothesis of biological invasions, which is accepted for publication in Ecology Letters.
The file is in csv format containing six columns: Species name, life form, native range, alien range, distance (great circle distance between the centroids of the respective regions) and species weights. More details about the data and the analysis can be found in Seebens et al.</para></abstract><keywordSet><keyword>alien range</keyword><keyword>alien species</keyword><keyword>geographic distance</keyword><keyword>global</keyword><keyword>intermediate distance hypothesis</keyword><keyword>native range</keyword></keywordSet><intellectualRights><para>The data are free of use with proper citation of the following publication: Seebens, H., Essl, F. and Blasius, B.
