Abstract

The fern Amblovenatum opulentum is originally distributed in tropical ecosystems of the Old World. Global trade activities and the transport of equipment, materials and supplies have allowed different plants to colonize, establish and complete their life cycle in new territories, additional to their original distribution range, as part of a biological process referred to as naturalization. The documented distribution of A. opulentum in Guatemala is reported here as an extension of its range in the New World. In addition, the characteristics of this plant as an introduced plant are analyzed, and its attributes are estimated in terms of biological invasion parameters.
