ABSTRACT Invasions by eukaryotes dependent on environmentally acquired bacterial mutualists are often limited the ability of partners to survive and establish free-living populations. Focusing model legume-rhizobium mutualism, we apply invasion biology hypotheses explain how bacteriophages can impact competitiveness introduced mutualists. Predicting phage-bacteria interactions affect invading eukaryotic hosts requires knowing eco-evolutionary constraints native microbial communities, as well their differences in abundance diversity. By synthesizing research from biology, bacterial, viral, community ecology, create a conceptual framework for understanding predicting phages biological invasions through effects

Invasive Aedes aegypti and albopictus mosquitoes transmit viruses such as dengue, chikungunya Zika, posing a huge public health burden well having less understood economic impact. We present comprehensive, global-scale synthesis of studies reporting these costs, spanning 166 countries territories over 45 years. The minimum cumulative reported cost estimate expressed in 2022 US$ was 94.7 billion, although this figure reflects considerable underreporting underestimation. analysis suggests 14-fold increase with an average annual expenditure 3.1 maximum 20.3 billion 2013. Damage losses were order magnitude higher than investment management, only modest portion allocated to prevention. Effective control measures are urgently needed safeguard global well-being, reduce the on human societies. This study fills critical gap by addressing increasing costs Aedes-borne diseases offers insights inform evidence-based policy.

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 considerably underestimated. Results We used latest available cost InvaCost (v4.1)—the most comprehensive database on invasions—to assess magnitude this underestimation within via projections current future invasion macroeconomic scaling temporal modelling approaches project information over taxa, space, time, thereby producing more complete estimate economy. identified only 259 out 13,331 (~ 1%) known invasive species Union.

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 researchers, forged collaborations among diverse organizations stakeholders. Over 50 scientific publications so far used detailed assessments invasion costs across geographic, taxonomic, spatiotemporal scales. These studies important can guide future policy legislative decisions management while simultaneously attracting public media We provide an overview improved availability, reliability, standardization, defragmentation costs; discuss how this enhanced science as discipline; outline directions for development.

Abstract Aedes -borne diseases, such as dengue, chikungunya and Zika are caused by viruses transmitted aegypti albopictus , producing an enormous public health burden a lesser-known economic impact. We present reliable, up-to-date, standardized easily updatable global-scale synthesis of studies reporting the costs these mosquitoes, obtained from 880 records 118 countries covering last 45 years. From 1975 to 2020, cumulative reported cost diseases was at least 87.3 billion in 2022 US$ values, having increased almost 100-fold over this period, while still considerably underreported underestimated. Costs mainly due dengue (80%), do not consider medical sequelae Zika, which would bring estimate up 310.8 worldwide.

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 terrestrial vertebrates as models given their well-catalogued impacts and characteristics. Our results reveal total global tetrapods are conservatively in tens billions dollars, with vast majority due damage mammals. These predicted by longevity, female maturation age, diet invasion pathway traits, although directionality association between these drivers varied across classes. Alarmingly, unknown for >90 % recorded established alien invaded countries. huge demonstrate necessity mitigating tetrapod filling knowledge gaps. Effective identification predictive among within groups facilitate prioritisation resources efficiently target most damaging existing emerging species.
