While many studies define native status according to large biogeographic realms, natural dispersal barriers often limit species distributions at regional or smaller spatial extents. As such, native/nonnative definitions are inherently scale-dependent and estimates of community invadedness thus depend on the spatial resolution at which native status is defined. For example, nonnative species can be introduced among realms, among regions within realms, and among ecological provinces within regions (hereafter, simply “provinces”). By explicitly considering the scale-dependency of native/nonnative status definitions, we can more effectively compare results across studies, more comprehensively evaluate the degree of invasion levels, and more objectively communicate the native status of a species.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Location</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>30,034 stream segments, conterminous United States.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Time Period</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>2000–2023.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Major Taxa Studied</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Freshwater fishes.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Quantifying Fish Community Invadedness Across US Streams</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>We illustrate the importance of scale-dependent native status definitions by quantifying nonnative species richness and relative abundance in stream fish communities across the United States, finding that provincially nonnative species are nearly four times as prevalent as extra-realm nonnative species, and represented approximately 10% of all individuals in average community surveys.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Implications</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Unrealistically broad native status definitions underestimate community invadedness.

Fishes were surveyed in four distinct habitats, which allow to estimate habitat-breadth for each population.

Importantly, habitat-breadth was negatively correlated with richness for 109 out of the 154 species, and, across all species, the relationship was highly significant. We found some support that species with distinct traits displayed less sensitivity of habitat-breadth to richness, but the relationship was dependent on the type of trait-distinctiveness index used.&lt;/p&gt;\u0000 &lt;/section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;h3&gt; Conclusions&lt;/h3&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;p&gt;This is the first large-scale evidence that population-level habitat-breadth changes with richness.
