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, policymakers. Inconsistencies stem from exponential increase scientific publications on patterns processes biological invasions authored by experts disciplines countries since 1990s, as well legislators policymakers focusing practical applications, regulations, management resources. Aligning standardising stakeholders remains challenge science. Here, we review evaluate multiple terms used (e.g. ‘non‐native’, ‘alien’, ‘invasive’ or ‘invader’, ‘exotic’, ‘non‐indigenous’, ‘naturalised’, ‘pest’) propose simplified terminology. streamlined translate into 28 other languages based ( i ) denoting species transported beyond their natural biogeographic range, ii ‘established non‐native’, i.e. those non‐native that have established self‐sustaining populations new location(s) wild, iii ‘invasive non‐native’ recently spread are spreading invaded range actively passively without human mediation. We also highlight importance conceptualising ‘spread’ classifying invasiveness ‘impact’ management. Finally, protocol dispersal mechanism, origin, population status, iv impact. Collectively introducing present aims facilitate collaboration species.

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 approaches (such as deny lists), often irrespective theory, local adaptation other population-level processes govern invasions. To address these issues, we analyse non-native dynamics at population level employing database European freshwater macroinvertebrate time series, investigate spreading speed, abundance impact assessments among populations. Our findings reveal substantial variability speed trends within between biogeographic regions, indicating levels invasiveness differ markedly. Discrepancies inconsistencies risk screenings real data were also identified, highlighting inherent challenges accurately assessing effects through assessments. In recognition importance assessments, urge shift invasive management frameworks, which should account for different populations their environmental context. Adopting an adaptive, region-specific population-focused approach is imperative, considering diverse ecological contexts varying degrees susceptibility. Such could improve refine while promoting mechanistic understandings risks impacts, thereby enabling development more effective conservation strategies.

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.

Background Rodents are among the most notorious invasive alien species worldwide. These invaders have substantially impacted native ecosystems, food production and storage, local infrastructures, human health well-being. However, lack of standardized understandable estimation their impacts is a serious barrier to raising societal awareness, hampers effective management interventions at relevant scales. Methods Here, we assessed economic costs rodents globally in order help overcome these obstacles. For this purpose, combined analysed cost data from InvaCost database—the up-to-date comprehensive synthesis reported invasion costs—and specific complementary searches within beyond published literature. Results Our conservative analysis showed that rodent invasions reached total US$ 3.6 billion between 1930 2022 (annually 87.5 million 1980 2022), were significantly increasing through time. The highest was for muskrat Ondatra zibethicus (US$ 377.5 million), then unspecified Rattus spp. 327.8 followed by norvegicus specifically 156.6 million) Castor canadensis 150.4 million). Of costs, 87% damage-related, principally impacting agriculture predominantly Asia (60%), Europe (19%) North America (9%). study evidenced obvious underreporting with only 99 documents gathered globally, clear taxonomic gaps, reliability issues assessment, skewed breakdowns regions, sectors contexts. As consequence, represent very small fraction expected true ( e.g. , using less analytic approach would led global amount more than 80-times higher estimated here). Conclusions findings strongly suggest available information represents substantial underestimation incurred. We offer recommendations improving estimates fill knowledge gaps including: systematic distinction rodents’ impacts; monetizing indirect on health; greater integrative concerted research effort scientists stakeholders. Finally, discuss why how will stimulate provide support proactive sustainable strategies context invasions, which biosecurity measures should be amplified globally.

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 Cross-border neighboring areas could be particularly vulnerable to biological invasions due short geographic distances and frequent interactions, although the invasion risk remains unevaluated worldwide. Here, based on global datasets of distributions established alien vertebrates as well vectors introduction establishment, we show that more than one-third world’s transboundary are facing high vertebrates, especially in Europe, North America, South Asia, Southeast Asia. The most important predictors establishment bilateral trade, habitat disturbance richness vertebrates. Interestingly, found border fences may have limited effects reducing risk, only 7.9% spatially overlap with hotspots even Eurasia (13.7% overlap) where physical barriers mainly located. We therefore recommend implementation immediate proactive prevention control measures cope cross-border response continued globalization.

Prayer animal release (PAR)—a traditional “compassion‐based” religious practice of releasing captive animals into the wild to improve karma releaser—has been regarded as a major anthropogenic pathway facilitating species invasions worldwide. However, comprehensive, quantitative assessments PAR‐related invasion risks, crucial for development mitigation strategies, are lacking. To address this knowledge gap, we conducted literature review prevalence PAR events and examined overlap between intensity across China habitat suitability non‐native vertebrates released in these events. Our results revealed that 63% areas with high were also suitable vertebrate establishment, degree was greater than expected by chance. In addition, field surveys detected higher richness fishes at sites non‐PAR sites. These findings imply an overall risk biological associated PARs. We recommend interdisciplinary cooperation among scientists, groups, government agencies effectively manage PARs reduce bioinvasion risk.
