“…Although challenging, correlating data from different sources is recommended (Hobern et al 2019;König et al 2019). Linking the InvaCost database with pre-existing biodiversity databases (e.g., on traits, niche, and genetic datasets) has the potential to provide invasion science with better tools to quantify the links between ecological mechanisms and invasion impacts, and establish relationships between costs, ecosystems composition, and invasion dynamics Ricciardi et al 2021;Daly et al 2023). Integrating information on costs to a broader spectrum of biological groups (not solely invasive) and invaded socio-ecosystems can provide insights on (i) how invasive species impact non-native environments, (ii) areas where more resources might be needed (financial, technological, or research), and (iii) cost efficiency of current and alternative management options.…”

Biological invasions are a global challenge that has received insufficient attention. Recently available cost syntheses have provided policy and decision makers with reliable and up-to-date information on the economic impacts of invasive alien species, aiming to motivate effective management. The resultant InvaCost database is now publicly and freely accessible and enables rapid extraction of monetary cost information globally. This has facilitated knowledge sharing, developed a more integrated and multidisciplinary network of researchers, and forged multidisciplinary collaborations among diverse organisations and stakeholders. Over 50 scientific publications so far have used the database and provided detailed assessments of invasion costs across geographic, taxonomic, and spatio-temporal scales. These studies have been instrumental in guiding policy and legislative decisions, while attracting public and media attention. We provide an overview of the improved availability, reliability, and defragmentation of monetary costs, how this has enhanced invasion science as a discipline, and outline directions for future development.

“…Our understanding to define, characterise and identify species along the introduction-naturalisation-invasion continuum has increased considerably (Catford et al, 2012;Daly et al, 2023;Richardson & Pyšek, 2006). Such understanding is needed to improve the management of invasive species, especially in areas rich in biodiversity (Foxcroft et al, 2017;Pejchar et al, 2020).…”

Biological invasions represent one of the major threats to biodiversity conservation, especially in island ecosystems. Field‐based assessments of the invasion degree are required for managing and monitoring invaded habitats but there is no unifying measure available in the literature. Here, we developed a standardised method for quantifying invasion degree based on four metrics: alien and native species cover, alien species richness, the occurrence frequency of alien species and invasion level, and demonstrated its use in two contrasted habitats of Reunion Island. This rapid survey quantified relative abundance and diversity of alien plant species among three vegetation strata (herbaceous, shrub and tree) in a systematic sampling. In lowland tropical forest, it took 40 person days to survey 150 ha (344 plots), and 52 person days in subalpine vegetation to survey 125 ha (304 plots). Our results showed that the herbaceous stratum was the most invaded in terms of invasion level; more than 45% in lowland tropical forest and almost 55% in subalpine vegetation. Based on cluster analysis and kriging, we mapped three different levels of invasion highlighting potential invasion fronts. We found that it was important to differentiate invasion degree per vegetation strata as mean alien cover was significantly different between strata at each site. This method is suitable for the majority of protected areas where fine‐scale assessment is required to characterise the spatial pattern of plant invasions, monitor invasive species and identify invasion foci to control or populations of emerging species to eradicate.

“…Trait‐based approaches can provide valuable insights into the ecological and evolutionary processes associated with biological invasions (Daly et al, 2023; Pearson, Ortega, Eren, & Hierro, 2018; Van Kleunen, Dawson, et al, 2010; Villéger et al, 2014). Variations in functional traits have long been recognized as major determinants of multiple stages of biological invasion processes (Catford et al, 2019; Elton, 1958; MacArthur & Levins, 1967; Van Kleunen, Dawson, et al, 2010).…”

AimTrait‐based approaches are powerful to examine the processes associated with biological invasions. Functional comparison among native and non‐indigenous species (NIS) can notably infer whether novel assemblages result from neutral or niche‐based assembly rules. Applying such a framework to biofouling communities, our study aimed to elucidate their distributions within two marine urban habitats (namely floating vs. nonfloating habitats).LocationSoutheast Pacific—Central Chilean coastline.MethodsHere, we examined the distribution of 12 functional traits in fouling communities established on settlement plates, after 3 and 13 months of deployment in the two habitats and across ports in Central Chile. Based upon previously described differences of assemblages and NIS contribution across habitats, we hypothesized that nonindigenous, cryptogenic and native taxon pools would be functionally distinct (and trait biased), and that functional diversity and structure would vary across habitats and successional stages.ResultsOur results show, as anticipated, that nonindigenous (13 taxa), cryptogenic (12) and native (18) taxon pools are functionally distinct, though overlapping in the trait space. Non‐indigenous species are rather related to colonizing traits, while native species are more related to competitive traits. Only one widespread NIS was functionally similar to the late successional and most competitive native species, including taxa elsewhere invasives. Despite differences in taxonomic composition between habitats, we did not observe functional differences between them. In contrast, temporal variations across colonization stages were detected along with an increased contribution in large and long‐lived taxa, together with site‐specific trajectories.Main ConclusionsWe conclude that the functional distinctness among nonindigenous, cryptogenic and native taxa occupying artificial habitats in ports reflects niche‐based processes. Site‐specific trajectories indicate that scale‐dependent assembly processes, such as dispersal and species interactions, are at play.
