I would loveto be part of it, thanks!

I would be glad to be in 😎

We hope more global studies will acknowledge the data bias associated with biological invasions to better inform conservation policies, based on reliable information.

For instance for birds (the best informed vertebrate group), areas of high confidence in vulnerability to biological invasions are limited to small patches in North America and South East Australia

In addition to the results on vulnerability, we explored the data biases in the data we used, that are inherent to global studies on biological invasions. We find a surprisingly low data completeness for exposure to IAS, inducing only a few places to have good data completeness.

This new framework proposes to combine both exposure and sensitivity of vertebrates to biological invasions. We found that more than 1/3 of terrestrial lands were exposed to at least one invasive alien species (IAS), and most lands had at least one bird, mammal, or reptile species sensitive to IAS.
