“…Similar transient focusing events also occur following reports of invasive or introduced alien species. For example, discovery of an inva sive fish, northern snakehead (Channa argus), in a new region of the US was followed by a strong but short lived surge in news and social media attention and calls for action (Jarić et al 2021).…”

Societal awareness of, and engagement with, environmental problems is a critical prerequisite for effective conservation programs. Research has revealed a strong general pattern whereby public attention received by cultural products diminishes over time. If transposed to conservation, this transience of societal attention is likely to be of major importance because it can limit motivation to support conservation efforts. We address the concept of attention transience applied to conservation, discuss its major drivers and mechanisms, and provide a short overview of conservation issues for which this phenomenon is expected to be particularly relevant. Attention transience leaves a brief window of opportunity for conservationists to focus public awareness and to mobilize necessary support. In this context, it is critical to maximize the conservation benefits generated during these short bursts of attention, especially through tailored conservation marketing campaigns with targeted message framing and regular efforts to refocus attention on key issues.

“…Because of the difficulty of monitoring freshwaters and the high cost compared to surveys in terrestrial environments, harnessing available sources of information collected from the public can help monitor biodiversity with particular attention to IAS in freshwater (Jarić et al ., 2020a). Jarić et al (2021) state that images posted on social media are important sources for detecting IAS and that images can be used to identify species and detect new introductions or range expansions. For example, the use of culturomics (human interaction with nature), citizen science (use of data collected by citizens for research/conservation), or iEcology (use of internet data generated for other purposes to study nature) can help reveal advances in the range of IAS (Jarić et al ., 2020b; Ladle et al ., 2016).…”

The Chinese sleeper (Perccottus glenii) has invaded European freshwaters and we present evidence of its first documented occurrence in the Elbe River basin in Czechia. The individual fish was caught by a fisherman and posted on social media . After immediately contacting the person in question, we obtained a live fish from him. The Chinese sleeper appears to have been present in interconnected ponds and streams for ten years and may have spread over a larger area. We recommend that eradication measures be implemented to prevent further spread.

“…This includes a diversity of applications for species occurrences (Ghermandi & Sinclair, 2019; Edwards et al ., 2021). Machine‐learning and web‐scraping algorithms now make it possible to identify and collect information on IAS sightings from platforms like Instagram, Flickr, or Twitter, which are applicable for monitoring spread (Daume, 2016; Laudy et al ., 2020; Jarić et al ., 2021).…”

A framework to integrate innovations in invasion science for proactive management

Invasive alien species (IAS) are a rising threat to biodiversity, national security, and regional economies, with impacts in the hundreds of billions of U.S. dollars annually. Proactive or predictive approaches guided by scientific knowledge are essential to keeping pace with growing impacts of invasions under climate change. Although the rapid development of diverse technologies and approaches has produced tools with the potential to greatly accelerate invasion research and management, innovation has far outpaced implementation and coordination. Technological and methodological syntheses are urgently needed to close the growing implementation gap and facilitate interdisciplinary collaboration and synergy among evolving disciplines. A broad review is necessary to demonstrate the utility and relevance of work in diverse fields to generate actionable science for the ongoing invasion crisis. Here, we review such advances in relevant fields including remote sensing, epidemiology, big data analytics, environmental DNA (eDNA) sampling, genomics, and others, and present a generalized framework for distilling existing and emerging data into products for proactive IAS research and management. This integrated workflow provides a pathway for scientists and practitioners in diverse disciplines to contribute to applied invasion biology in a coordinated, synergistic, and scalable manner.

Abstract: Although invasive non-native species have been studied extensively, their monitoring and management are often inadequate (Pergl et al. 2020). Moreover, the great harm invasive non-native species cause tends to be
