Standardized tools are needed to identify and prioritize the most harmful non-native species (NNS). A plethora of assessment protocols have been developed evaluate current potential impacts species, but consistency among them has received limited attention. To estimate across impact protocols, 89 specialists in biological invasions used 11 screen 57 NNS (2614 assessments). We tested if scoring assessors, quantified as coefficient variation (CV), was dependent on characteristics protocol, taxonomic group expertise assessor. Mean CV assessors 40%, with a maximum 223%. lower for low number score levels, which demanded high levels expertise, when had greater assessed species. The similarity respect final scores higher considered same types. conclude that all led considerable inconsistency assessors. In order improve consistency, we highlight importance selecting providing clear guidelines adequate training also deriving decisions collaboratively by consensus.

Abstract Aim Biological invasions threaten biodiversity globally. Large‐scale studies of non‐native plant species invasiveness typically focus on identifying ecological differences between naturalized and invasive that account for their spread from sites initial establishment (i.e., invasion success). However, differ widely in the magnitude impacts, suggesting characteristics favour success might not necessarily predict consequences invasion. Here we test whether those factors increase probability also explain severity impacts. Location China. Methods We compiled a database invasiveness, biogeographic origins, life history traits, introduction 538 plants China modelled (a) species; (b) spatial extent invasion; and, (c) impacts among successful invaders. Results Invasion shared similar influencing factors. these clearly differed predictors severe Unintentionally introduced with shorter cycles longer residence times were more likely to become invade larger area, while taller Americas tended have native ecosystems Main Conclusions These results illustrate different roles history, biogeographical origin biological traits determining versus suggest associated evolutionary adaptation population expansion determine extent, related relative competitive ability Identifying specific distinguish invaders most result could help planning effective interventions.

Biological invasions, resulting from human activities, exert substantial impacts on ecosystems worldwide. This review focuses marine invasive alien species (IAS) in Europe, examining the current state, proposing strategies to address problem, and offering recommendations for enhanced management. Effective management of biological invasions relies accessible, accurate data inform decision-making. Information systems such as European Alien Species Network (EASIN), Aquatic Non-Indigenous Cryptogenic (AquaNIS), World Register Introduced Marine (WriMS) provide comprehensive databases IAS, but their sustainability requires long-term maintenance, continuous updates, support. Most countries lack specific monitoring programs standardization improvement methods are needed. Port plays a vital role early detection new arrivals, recent advancements molecular techniques show promise effective IAS monitoring. Risk screening tools commonly employed rank taxa based invasiveness potential regions, variations protocols can yield inconsistent results. impact assessments highlight resource competition, novel habitat creation, predation primary mechanisms negative biodiversity, while creation habitats represents key mechanism positive impacts. Preventing introductions is critical, measures ballast water treatment implemented reduce likelihood introductions. However, understanding introduction pathways remains uncertain many IAS. Eradication control efforts have limited success, emphasizing need biosecurity measures. Climate change, especially ocean warming, intensify native ecosystems. In climate change hotspots, some tropical aliens may, however, compensate loss thermally sensitive natives with similar traits. Therefore, it imperative consider interactions between developing conservation strategies. Enhancing Europe entails i) securing adequate funding, ii) expanding list Union Concern adequately cover iii) learning successful practices, iv) sustaining information systems, v) improving warning innovative technologies, vi) enhancing prediction models, vii) conducting integrated mapping cumulative impacts, considering benefits ecosystem functioning services.

Of total number 228 (68%) naturalized 112 (32%) casual. There 275 neophytes (172 103 casual) 61 archaeophytes (52 9 casual); four species could not be classified respect to residence time. In addition, 47 frequently planted taxa a potential escape also listed. richest families Asteraceae (38 taxa), Poaceae (30), Fabaceae (23) Solanaceae (22). As for plants, highest richness is found in (31 (22), Amaranthaceae (18) (15). majority perennial (63.8% this life history assigned, including those multiple histories), annuals contribute 33.8% 2.4% biennial aliens. Among perennials most common forms phanerophytes, 20.3% trees 12.6% shrubs; woody vines, stem succulents, aquatic plants comparatively less represented. Most introduced have their native ranges Americas (44.7%) Asia (27.6%). other regions, 9.1% originated Africa, 4.4% Eurasia, 3.8% Australia Oceania 3.5% Mediterranean.

Prioritization of introduction pathways is seen as an important component the management biological invasions. We address whether established alien plants, mammals, freshwater fish and terrestrial invertebrates with known ecological impacts are associated particular (release, escape, contaminant, stowaway, corridor unaided). used information from European species database DAISIE (www.europe-aliens.org) supplemented by EASIN catalogue (European Alien Species Information Network), expert knowledge. Plants introduced release, unaided were disproportionately more likely to have than those contaminants. In contrast, not for invertebrates, mammals or fish. Thus, while plants strategies should be targeted towards appropriate pathways, animals, focus on reducing total number taxa introduced, targeting responsible high numbers introductions. However, regardless taxonomic group, having multiple increases likelihood impact. This may simply reflect that propagule pressure so a probability establishment. Clearly, patterns invasion determined many interacting factors this complexity.
