Much research effort has been invested in understanding ecological impacts of invasive alien species (IAS) across ecosystems and taxonomic groups, but empirical studies about economic effects lack synthesis. Using a comprehensive global database, we determine patterns trends costs aquatic IAS by examining: (i) the distribution these taxa, geographic regions cost types; (ii) temporal dynamics costs; (iii) knowledge gaps, especially compared to terrestrial IAS. Based on recorded from existing...
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...
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...
We contend that the exclusive focus on English language in scientific research might hinder effective communication between scientists and practitioners or policy makers whose mother tongue is non-English. This barrier knowledge data transfer likely leads to significant gaps may create biases when providing global patterns many fields of science. To demonstrate this, we compiled economic costs invasive alien species reported 15 non-English languages. compared it with equivalent from...
The threat posed by invasive non-native species worldwide requires a global approach to identify which introduced are likely pose an elevated risk of impact native and ecosystems. To inform policy, stakeholders management decisions on threats aquatic ecosystems, 195 assessors representing 120 assessment areas across all six inhabited continents screened 819 from 15 groups organisms (freshwater, brackish, marine plants animals) using the Aquatic Species Invasiveness Screening Kit. This...
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,...
Abstract The redclaw crayfish ( Cherax quadricarinatus ; hereafter redclaw), native to northern Australia and southern New Guinea, is among the largest freshwater decapods. It matures early considered highly prolific as females may lay over one thousand eggs in a single clutch. Despite generally preferring slow‐moving streams its range, it has wide environmental tolerance, making capable of establishing populations when introduced range other conditions habitats. These biological ecological...
Abstract Ecological and socioeconomic impacts from biological invasions are rapidly escalating worldwide. While effective management underpins impact mitigation, such actions often delayed, insufficient or entirely absent. Presently, delays emanate a lack of monetary rationale to invest at early invasion stages, which precludes prevention eradication. Here, we provide by developing conceptual model quantify the cost inaction, i.e., additional expenditure due delayed management, under varying...
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 $1,139.4...
ABSTRACT Standardised terminology in science is important for clarity of interpretation and communication. In invasion – a dynamic rapidly evolving discipline the proliferation technical has lacked standardised framework its development. The result convoluted inconsistent usage terminology, with various discrepancies descriptions damage interventions. A therefore needed clear, universally applicable, consistent to promote more effective communication across researchers, stakeholders,...
Biological invasions pose a rapidly expanding threat to the persistence, functioning and service provisioning of ecosystems globally, socio-economic interests. The stages successful are driven by same mechanism that underlies adaptive changes across species in general-via natural selection on intraspecific variation traits influence survival reproductive performance (i.e., fitness). Surprisingly, however, rapid progress field invasion science has resulted predominance species-level...
Abstract Biological invasions have profound impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem functioning services, resulting in substantial economic health costs estimated the trillions of dollars. Preventing managing biological are vital for sustainable development, aligning with goals United Nations Biodiversity Conference. However, some invasive species also offer occasional benefits, leading to divergent perceptions among stakeholders sectors. Claims that invasion science overlooks positive...
Invasive species can have severe impacts on ecosystems, economies, and human health. Though the economic of invasions provide important foundations for management policy, up-to-date syntheses these are lacking. To produce most comprehensive estimate invasive costs within North America (including Greater Antilles) to date, we synthesized impact data from recently published InvaCost database. Here, report that cost American economy at least US$ 1.26 trillion between 1960 2017. Economic climbed...
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...
The legacy of deliberate and accidental introductions invasive alien species to Australia has had a hefty economic toll, yet quantifying the magnitude costs associated with direct loss damage, as well for management interventions, remains elusive. This is because reliability cost estimates under-sampling have not been determined. We provide first detailed analysis reported Australian economy since 1960s, based on recently published InvaCost database supplementary information, total 2078...
Abstract Non‐native species introductions affect freshwater communities by changing community compositions, functional roles, trait occurrences and ecological niche spaces. Reconstructing such changes over long periods is difficult due to limited data availability. We collected information spanning 215 years on fish selected macroinvertebrate groups (Mollusca Crustacea) in the inner‐Florentine stretch of Arno River (Italy) associated water grid, investigate temporal changes. identified an...
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...
Despite voluminous literature identifying the impacts of invasive species, summaries monetary costs for some taxonomic groups remain limited. Invasive alien crustaceans often have profound on recipient ecosystems, but there may be great unknowns related to their economic costs. Using InvaCost database, we quantify and analyse reported associated with globally across taxonomic, spatial, temporal descriptors. Specifically, prominent aquatic - crayfish, crabs, amphipods, lobsters. Between 2000...
Invasive alien species (IAS) negatively impact the environment and undermine human well-being, often resulting in considerable economic costs. The Mediterranean basin is a culturally, socially economically diverse region, harbouring many IAS that threaten societal integrity multiple ways. This paper first attempt to collectively quantify reported costs of basin, across range taxonomic, temporal spatial descriptors. We identify correlates from invasion damages management expenditures among...
Invasive species have caused severe impacts on biodiversity and human society. Although the estimation of environmental by invasive has increased in recent years, economic losses associated with biological invasions are only sporadically estimated space time. In this study, we synthesized incurred Asia, based most comprehensive database costs worldwide, including 560 cost records for 88 22 countries. We also assessed differences across taxonomic groups, geographical regions impacted sectors,...

Globalization has led to the introduction of thousands alien species worldwide. With growing impacts by invasive species, understanding invasion process remains critical for predicting adverse effects and informing efficient management. Theoretically, dynamics have been assumed follow an "invasion curve" (S-shaped curve available area invaded over time), but this dynamic lacked empirical testing using large-scale data neglects consider invader abundances. We propose "impact describing...
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,...
Invasive alien species (IAS) are a major driver of global biodiversity loss, hampering conservation efforts and disrupting ecosystem functions services. While accumulating evidence documented ecological impacts IAS across geographic regions, habitat types taxonomic groups, appraisals for economic costs remained relatively sparse. This has hindered effective cost-benefit analyses that inform expenditure on management interventions to prevent, control, eradicate IAS. Terrestrial invertebrates...
