Biological invasions alter ecosystems by disrupting ecological processes that can degrade biodiversity, harm human health, and cause massive economic burdens. Existing frameworks to classify the ecological impacts either miss many types of impact or conflate mechanisms (causes) with the impacts themselves (consequences). We propose a comprehensive...

Protected areas underpin global biodiversity conservation and sustainability goals, but remain at risk from biological invasion impacts. Anticipated expansions of protected lands and waters towards 2030 under the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) will concurrently increase the burden of biological invasions within and from these...

The introduction of invasive species has become an increasing environmental problem in freshwater ecosystems due to the high economic and ecological impacts it has generated. This systematic review covers publications from 2010 to 2020, focusing on non-native invasive freshwater bivalves, a particularly relevant and widespread introduced taxonomic...

Protected areas underpin global biodiversity conservation and sustainability agendas. Biological invasions increasingly threaten the ecological functioning and long-term conservation value of protected areas, while a lack of information on impact impedes management decisions. We collated data from effects of biological invasions in protected areas...

Biological invasions have profound impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem functioning and services, resulting in substantial economic and health costs estimated in the trillions of dollars. Preventing and managing biological invasions are vital for sustainable development, aligning with the goals of the United Nations Biodiversity Conference. Howeve...

Biological invasions have been estimated to damage the global economy at a scale comparable to natural disasters. However, these estimates rely on data from a small proportion of invasive species and countries. Effectively managing these invasions requires better cost estimates for neglected species and regions. Using random forest, we estimated th...

Biological invasions pose a major threat to biodiversity, ecosystem functioning, and human well‐being. Non‐native species can have severe ecological impacts that are transformative, affecting ecosystems across both short‐term and long‐term timescales. However, few studies have determined the temporal dynamics of impact between these scales, impedin...

Standardized terminology in science is important for clarity of interpretation and communication. In invasion science – a dynamic and rapidly evolving discipline – the proliferation of technical terminology has lacked a standardized framework for its development. The result is a convoluted and inconsistent usage of terminology, with various discrep...

Protecting aquatic ecosystems requires comprehensive understanding and quantification of threats posed by invasive species to inform effective management strategy. In particular, aquatic invasive plants cause profound alterations to aquatic ecosystem composition, structure and productivity, however, monetary cost assessments have lacked at large sc...

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 biological invasions, aiming to motivate effective management. The resultant InvaCost database is now publicly and freely...

The use of long-term datasets is crucial in ecology because it provides a comprehensive understanding of natural fluctuations, changes in ecosystems over extended periods of time, and robust comparisons across geographical scales. This information is critical in detecting and analysing trends and patterns in species populations, community dynamics,...

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 free...

The Neotropical region hosts 4225 freshwater fish species, ranking first among the world's most diverse regions for freshwater fishes. Our NEOTROPICAL FRESHWATER FISHES data set is the first to produce a large‐scale Neotropical freshwater fish inventory, covering the entire Neotropical region from Mexico and the Caribbean in the north to the southe...

Biological invasions represent one of the main threats to biodiversity and a recognized economic burden worldwide; the issue has been included in the conservation agenda such as the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). Brazil is a signatory country of the CBD; however, the number of alien species records in its territory is continuously rising...

Nota de repúdio contra o Projeto de Lei 614, de 2018, da Assembleia Legislativa do Estado de São Paulo, que dispõe sobre a pesca, o embarque, o transporte, a comercialização e o processamento dos tucunarés Cichla spp. e dá outras providências. A comunidade científica, representada por doutores, mestres, pesquisadores, biólogos, engenheiros de pesca...

Recently, Nori et al. (2020) adopted a novel approach to identify priority areas for conservation and research of terrestrial vertebrates using broad-scale tools. Here, we comment on their outcomes, highlighting the limitations of their approach and of the database used. We understand that broad-scale tools may be an important first step in identif...

Non-native fish (NNF) can threaten megadiverse aquatic ecosystems throughout the planet, but limited information is available for the Amazon Region. In this study we review NNF data in the Amazonian macroregion using spatiotemporal records on the occurrence and the richness of NNF from a collaborative network of 35 regional experts, establishing th...

Along with agricultural intensification, urbanization is often implicated in bee declines worldwide. While the vast majority of studies investigate how bee assemblages respond to urbanization across different spatial scales, very few attempts have used a temporal comparison to evaluate the impact of urbanization. The city of Curitiba in southern Br...

Anthropogenic introduction of non-native species has occurred since the first European colonization of South America in the 1500s, with the Atlantic Forest being the most heavily affected biome in the continent. Biological invasions, together with other anthropogenic pressures occurring over the subsequent 500 years, led to many biological changes...

This study aims to understand the response of the trophic state index (TSI) of a reservoir under different watershed land-use scenarios. A novel methodology was applied to the Verde River Basin in the south of Brazil, which is exploited by agricultural activity and has a reservoir for water supply. An ecohydrological model was used to calculate dai...

Devido ao fato da IN 10/2020 não ter sido amplamente consultada junto à comunidade científica, observações são apresentadas com base na condição legislativa para peixes ornamentais continentais no Brasil. As considerações foram detalhadas buscando conciliar ciência, sociedade e legislação, analisando criticamente a importância comercial e social da...

Esta nota técnica foi elaborada em resposta à Lei Estadual n° 19.789-PR, de autoria do deputado estadual Luiz Carlos Martins (PP) e sancionada pela então governadora Cida Borghetti (PP), em 20 de dezembro de 2018, a qual entrou em vigor em 20 de abril de 2019. Essa lei proíbe qualquer atividade pesqueira referente ao peixe dourado, Salminus brasili...

The study of watershed using computational models is useful for environmental diagnosis of the hydrological processes, simulation of scenarios of climatic changes, and land-use changes. The present work aims to quantify the tributary flows to the Verde River reservoir, which has economic importance, leisure, and maintenance of the Paraná biodiversi...

É evidente a importância dos recursos naturais para a manutenção da vida no planeta, estando, entre estes, o solo. Entender a formação pedológica torna-se, muitas vezes, essencial tanto no que se refere a agricultura quanto à geotecnia. Este estudo teve como objetivo realizar um mapeamento de solos, em escala 1:100.000, através do uso de ferramenta...

Slope areas are impacted due to the cutting at depth of the soil, making it difficult to revegetate. However, even with physical and chemical limitations in soil quality, growth and/or survival of plant species have been observed. Slope soils, besides the low fertility, are still usually eroded. For these cases, microorganisms, such as arbuscular m...
