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...
Drivers of future alien species impacts: an expert‐based assessment
Essl, Franz; Lenzner, Bernd; Bacher, Sven; Bailey, Sarah; Capinha, César; Daehler, Curtis; Dullinger, Stefan; Genovesi, Piero; Hui, CangUnderstanding the likely future impacts of biological invasions is crucial yet highly challenging given the multiple relevant environmental, socio-economic and societal contexts and drivers. In the absence of quantitative models, methods based on expert knowledge are the best option for assessing future invasion trajectories. Here, we present an expert assessment of the drivers of potential alien species impact...
What will the future bring for biological invasions on islands? An expert-based...
Lenzner, Bernd; Latombe, Guillaume; Capinha, César; Bellard, Céline; Courchamp, Franck; Diagne, Christophe; Dullinger, Stefan; Golivets, MarinaBiological invasions are a major threat to global biodiversity with particularly strong implications for island biodiversity. Much research has been dedicated towards understanding historic and current changes in alien species distribution and impacts on islands and potential changes under future climate change. However, projections of how alien species richness and impacts on islands might develop in the futur...
