Potential distribution, observed impacts, and invasion risk of two non-native s...
Nerozzi, Iacopo; Soto, Ismael; Vimercati, Giovanni; Capinha, César; Tarkan, Ali Serhan; Kraus, Fred; Haubrock, Phillip J.; Pauwels, Olivier S. G.Among reptiles, turtles are the most frequently traded species and often released in the wild once they become unwanted as pets. The common snapping turtle Chelydra serpentina and the alligator snapping turtle Macrochelys temminckii are freshwater turtles native to North America. Although their trade is regulated in some countries, they have been introduced worldwide as pets. While C. serpentina has established...
Long-term trends in crayfish invasions across European rivers
Soto, Ismael; Ahmed, Danish A.; Beidas, Ayah; Oficialdegui, Francisco J.; Tricarico, Elena; Angeler, David G.; Amatulli, Giuseppe; Briski, ElizabetaEurope has experienced a substantial increase in non-indigenous crayfish species (NICS) since the mid-20th century due to their extensive use in fisheries, aquaculture and, more recently, pet trade. Despite relatively long invasion histories of some NICS and negative impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, large spatio-temporal analyses of their occurrences are lacking. Here, we used a large freshwat...
Invasion impacts and dynamics of a European-wide introduced species
Haubrock, Phillip J.; Ahmed, Danish A.; Cuthbert, Ross N.; Stubbington, Rachel; Domisch, Sami; Marquez, Jaime R. G.; Beidas, Ayah; Amatulli, GiuseppeGlobalization has led to the introduction of thousands of alien species worldwide. With growing impacts by invasive species, understanding the invasion process remains critical for predicting adverse effects and informing efficient management. Theoretically, invasion dynamics have been assumed to follow an "invasion curve" (S-shaped curve of available area invaded over time), but this dynamic has lacked empiric...
Global economic costs of herpetofauna invasions
Soto, Ismael; Cuthbert, Ross N.; Kouba, Antonín; Capinha, César; Turbelin, Anna; Hudgins, Emma J.; Diagne, Christophe; Courchamp, FranckBiological invasions by amphibian and reptile species (i.e. herpetofauna) are numerous and widespread, having caused severe impacts on ecosystems, the economy and human health. However, there remains no synthesised assessment of the economic costs of these invasions. Therefore, using the most comprehensive database on the economic costs of invasive alien species worldwide (InvaCost), we analyse the costs caused...
The magnitude, diversity, and distribution of the economic costs of invasive te...
Renault, David; Angulo, Elena; Cuthbert, Ross N.; Haubrock, Phillip J.; Capinha, César; Bang, Alok; Kramer, Andrew M.; Courchamp, FranckInvasive alien species (IAS) are a major driver of global biodiversity loss, hampering conservation efforts and disrupting ecosystem functions and services. While accumulating evidence documented ecological impacts of IAS across major geographic regions, habitat types and taxonomic groups, appraisals for economic costs remained relatively sparse. This has hindered effective cost-benefit analyses that inform exp...
Economic costs of invasive alien species across Europe
Haubrock, Phillip J.; Turbelin, Anna J.; Cuthbert, Ross N.; Novoa, Ana; Taylor, Nigel G.; Angulo, Elena; Ballesteros-Mejia, Liliana; Bodey, Thomas W.Biological invasions continue to threaten the stability of ecosystems and societies that are dependent on their services. Whilst the ecological impacts of invasive alien species (IAS) have been widely reported in recent decades, there remains a paucity of information concerning their economic impacts. Europe has strong trade and transport links with the rest of the world, facilitating hundreds of IAS incursions...
Global economic costs of aquatic invasive alien species
Cuthbert, Ross N.; Pattison, Zarah; Taylor, Nigel G.; Verbrugge, Laura; Diagne, Christophe; Ahmed, Danish A.; Leroy, Boris; Angulo, ElenaMuch 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 and trends in economic costs of aquatic IAS by examining: (i) the distribution of these costs across taxa, geographic regions and cost types; (ii...
Economic costs of invasive alien species in the Mediterranean basin
Kourantidou, Melina; Cuthbert, Ross N.; Haubrock, Phillip J.; Novoa, Ana; Taylor, Nigel G.; Leroy, Boris; Capinha, César; Renault, David; Angulo, ElenaInvasive 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 and economically diverse region, harbouring many IAS that threaten economic and societal integrity in multiple ways. This paper is the first attempt to collectively quantify the reported economic costs of IAS in the Medit...
Non-English languages enrich scientific knowledge: the example of economic cost...
Angulo, Elena; Diagne, Christophe; Ballesteros-Mejia, Liliana; Adamjy, Tasnime; Ahmed, Danish A.; Akulov, Evgeny; Banerjee, Achyut K.; Capinha, CésarWe contend that the exclusive focus on the English language in scientific research might hinder effective communication between scientists and practitioners or policy makers whose mother tongue is non-English. This barrier in scientific knowledge and data transfer likely leads to significant knowledge gaps and may create biases when providing global patterns in many fields of science. To demonstrate this, we co...
