  abstract = {{A}lien species are considered a major driver of extinction risk. {P}reventing high-impact aliens from being intro-duced is more necessary than ever to mitigate the current biodiversity crisis. {I}nvasive species risk assessments look at the characteristics of potential invaders but rarely consider how different they are from the native res-idents that they might threaten. {T}herefore, we tested whether the impacts of an alien species on a native species can be predicted using the pairwise phylogenetic distance ({PPD}) between them. {S}pecifically, we analysed whether the {PPD} of 1407 pairs of native-invasive alien plants is related to the extinction risk of the native plants. {W}e showed that natives threatened by close alien relatives have a significantly higher extinction risk, especially on oceanic islands. {T}his finding argues for consideration of {PPD}, or at least the presence of congeneric or con-familial native species, in risk assessment of potential impacts of newly introduced alien species and priorization of management of already naturalized alien species.},
