Abstract Aim To use global databases to (1) provide a visualization of geographical patterns species invasions, origins and pathways (2) depict the international uptake legislative policy responses invasive alien (IAS). Location Global. Methods Patterns recorded invasions introduction were mapped visualized using data from Global Invasive Species Database (GISD) CABI Compendium (CABI ISC), along with associated legal instruments relevant IAS compiled ECOLEX database. A novel indicator...
Biological invasions continue to threaten the stability of ecosystems and societies that are dependent on their services. Whilst ecological impacts invasive alien species (IAS) have been widely reported in recent decades, there remains a paucity information concerning economic impacts. Europe has strong trade transport links with rest world, facilitating hundreds IAS incursions, largely centralised decision-making frameworks. The present study is first comprehensive detailed effort...
Abstract Understanding the likely future impacts of biological invasions is crucial yet highly challenging given multiple relevant environmental, socio‐economic and societal contexts drivers. In absence quantitative models, methods based on expert knowledge are best option for assessing invasion trajectories. Here, we present an assessment drivers potential alien species under contrasting scenarios socioecological through mid‐21st century. Based responses from 36 experts in invasions,...
The global increase in biological invasions is placing growing pressure on the management of ecological and economic systems. However, effectiveness current expenditure difficult to assess due a lack standardised measurement across spatial, taxonomic temporal scales. Furthermore, there no quantification spending difference between pre-invasion (e.g. prevention) post-invasion control) stages, although preventative measures are considered be most cost-effective. Here, we use comprehensive...
The United States has thousands of invasive species, representing a sizable, but unknown burden to the national economy. Given potential economic repercussions quantifying these costs is paramount importance both for economies and invasion management. Here, we used novel global database (InvaCost) quantify overall species in across spatiotemporal, taxonomic, socioeconomic scales. From 1960 2020, reported totaled $4.52 trillion (USD 2017). Considering only observed, highly reliable costs,...
Natural hazards — such as storms, floods, and wildfires can be disastrous phenomena so biological invasions, for which impacts are often irrevocable insidious. Yet, invasion awareness remains low compared to natural hazards, investments manage invasions remain vastly underfunded delayed. Here, we quantified costs relative raise political leverage. Analysing damage cost data over 1980–2019, economic losses from were of similar magnitude (e.g., $1,208.0 bn against $1,913.6 storms $1,139.4...
Abstract Biological invasions are increasing worldwide, damaging ecosystems and socioeconomic sectors. Two decades ago, the “100 of world’s worst” invasive alien species list was established by IUCN to improve communications , identifying particularly ‘flagship’ invaders globally (hereafter, worst ). Whilst this has bolstered invader awareness, whether especially economically how they compare other ) remain unknown. Here, we quantify invasion costs using most comprehensive global database...
Invasive alien fishes have had pernicious ecological and economic impacts on both aquatic ecosystems human societies. However, a comprehensive collective assessment of their monetary costs is still lacking. In this study, we collected reviewed reported data the invasive using InvaCost, most global database invasion costs. We analysed how total (i.e. observed potential/predicted) empirically incurred only) fish invasions are distributed geographically temporally assessed which socioeconomic...
Biological invasions can dramatically impact natural ecosystems and human societies. However, although knowledge of the economic impacts biological provides crucial insights for efficient management policy, reliable syntheses are still lacking. This is particularly true low income countries where resources insufficient to control effects invasions. In this study, we relied on recently developed "InvaCost" database – most comprehensive repository monetised invasive alien species worldwide...
Abstract Introduction pathways play a pivotal role in the success of Invasive Alien Species (IAS)—the subset alien species that have negative environmental and/or socio-economic impact. Pathways refer to fundamental processes leads introduction from one geographical location another—marking beginning all invasions. Increased knowledge is essential help reduce number introductions and impacts IAS ultimately improve their management . Here we use InvaCost database, comprehensive repository on...
Abstract Biological invasions are one of the top drivers ongoing biodiversity crisis. An underestimated consequence is enormity their economic impacts. Knowledge gaps regarding costs produced by invasive alien species (IAS) pervasive, particularly for emerging economies such as India—the fastest growing economy worldwide. To investigate, highlight and bridge this gap, we synthesised data on IAS in India. Specifically, examine how distributed spatially, environmentally, sectorally,...
Abstract Background Biological invasions threaten the functioning of ecosystems, biodiversity, and human well-being by degrading ecosystem services eliciting massive economic costs. The European Union has historically been a hub for cultural development global trade, thus, extensive opportunities introduction spread alien species. While reported costs biological to some member states have recently assessed, ongoing knowledge gaps in taxonomic spatio-temporal data suggest that these were...
Globalization challenges sustainability by intensifying the ecological and economic impacts of biological invasions. These may be unevenly distributed worldwide, with costs disproportionately incurred a few regions. We identify cost distributions invasions among origin recipient countries continents, determine socio-economic biodiversity-related predictors dynamics. Using data filtered from InvaCost database, which inevitably includes geographic biases in reporting, we found that recorded...
Biological invasions are a global challenge that has received insufficient attention. Recently available cost syntheses have provided policy- and decision makers with reliable up-to-date information on the economic impacts of biological invasions, aiming to motivate effective management. The resultant InvaCost database is now publicly freely accessible enables rapid extraction monetary information. This facilitated knowledge sharing, developed more integrated multidisciplinary network...
While data on biological invasions and their economic toll are increasingly available, drivers of susceptibility to damage cost-effectiveness management in reducing long-term costs remain poorly understood. We used describing the of, expenditure on, invasive species among 56 nations between 2000 2020 reported InvaCost database test overarching hypothesis that higher-income those with higher trade volume have a efficiency limit incurred by spending relatively more management. also tested...
Biological invasions are a major threat to global biodiversity with particularly strong implications for island biodiversity. Much research has been dedicated towards understanding historic and current changes in alien species distribution impacts on islands potential under future climate change. However, projections of how richness might develop the still lacking. In absence reliable projections, expert-based assessments valuable tool investigate importance different drivers pathways...
Although the high costs of invasion are frequently cited and a key motivation for environmental management policy, synthesised data on scarce. Here, we quantify examine monetary biological invasions in United Kingdom (UK) using global synthesis reported costs. Invasive alien species have cost UK economy between US$6.9 billion $17.6 (£5.4 – £13.7 billion) losses expenses since 1976. Most were entire or Great Britain (97%); country-scale reporting UK's four constituent countries was Reports...
Abstract Biological invasions are one of the main threats to biodiversity within protected areas (PAs) worldwide. Meanwhile, resilience PAs remains largely unknown. Consequently, providing a better understanding how they impacted by is critical for informing policy responses and optimally allocating resources prevention control strategies. Here we use InvaCost database address this gap from three perspectives: (i) characterizing total reported costs invasive alien species (IAS) in PAs; (ii)...
Abstract Biological invasions by amphibian and reptile species (i.e. herpetofauna) are numerous widespread, having caused severe impacts on ecosystems, the economy human health. However, there remains no synthesised assessment of economic costs these invasions. Therefore, using most comprehensive database invasive alien worldwide (InvaCost), we analyse herpetofauna according to taxonomic, geographic, sectoral temporal dimensions, as well types costs. The cost totaled at 17.0 billion US$...
The extent and impacts of biological invasions on biodiversity are largely shaped by an array socio-economic environmental factors, which exhibit high variation among countries. Yet, a global analysis how these factors vary across countries is currently lacking. Here, we investigate five broad, country-specific indices (Governance, Trade, Environmental Performance, Lifestyle Education, Innovation) explain country-level (1) established alien species (EAS) richness eight taxonomic groups, (2)...
Globalisation has accelerated rates of biological invasions worldwide, leading to widespread environmental perturbations that often translate into rapidly expanding socio-economic costs. Although such monetary costs can be estimated from the observed effects invasions, pathways lead invasive species become economically impactful remain poorly understood. Here, we implement first global-scale test hypothesis adaptive traits influence demographic resilience predict economic costs, using...
