Figure S1 Percentage of species introduced into Europefor hunting purposes grouped by their biogeographic region of origin.


Figure 2SaPresence(green) or absence (red)of each hunting species in each country.


Figure 2SbThe proportion of each species in each sub-cluster according to the number of countries in which it is present (between 1, present in all countries of one sub-cluster and 0 absent in all countries of one sub-cluster).


Table S1. Sources systematically reviewed to obtain information on introduction pathways and records of introduced species for hunting purposesin Europe. Sources of introductions also often provide information on case-by-case introduction pathways.
