  1. Sample sizes for analyses of the role of life history traits in trade and introduction, separated by trade type taxonomic class. The column ‘Total N species’ refers to species for which we have complete life history data, forming the sample sizes for analyses of life history correlates of trade. The column ‘N traded’ indicates the number of traded species, forming the total sample sizes for analyses of life history correlates of introduction within traded species, while the final column ‘N introduced’ contains the number of introduced species among those traded.
