The management of invasive alien species (IAS) is complex and requires consideration of intertwined ecological and economic dimensions. Given the wide variety of costing purposes and practices, and the associated risk of misunderstandings and/or miscommunication which may jeopardize perceptions and management, there is an urgent need to disentangle the nature of IAS costs. We provide a synthesis of the nature and diversity of the economic costs associated with IAS and the potential limits of their assessment. This work promotes a common understanding of costs of IAS across disciplines, which is essential for improving the estimation, interpretation, selection, and uptake of costs when designing IAS management policies or raising societal awareness of their threats. Our study contributes to a clearer understanding of the nature of costs, serving as a sound basis for managing biological invasions.

“…IAS with potential or realized benefits are referred to with different names depending on their perceived impact or assessed risk, prior knowledge on the species and the type of conflict they create (Gozlan et al 2013). These species have been referred to as "mixed-blessing" invaders, "multiple-use" resources, "conflict species", species with "ambivalent human preferences", and species that have a "dual-role" or that are both a "value and a nuisance" (Zivin et al 2000;Vigliano and Alonso 2007;Courtois et al 2012;Han 2016;Hui and Richardson 2017;van Wilgen and Wilson 2018;Kourantidou and Kaiser 2019a;Skonhoft and Kourantidou 2021). These terms imply that their impact, either economic, ecological or other (for example cultural), may be seen through both a positive and a negative lens.…”

Invasive alien species as simultaneous benefits and burdens: trends, stakeholder perceptions and management

In addition to being a major threat to biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, biological invasions also have profound impacts on economies and human wellbeing. However, the threats posed by invasive species often do not receive adequate attention and lack targeted management. In part, this may result from different or even ambivalent perceptions of invasive species which have a dual effect for stakeholders -being simultaneously a benefit and a burden. For these species, literature that synthesizes best practice is very limited, and analyses providing a comprehensive understanding of their economics are generally lacking. This has resulted in a critical gap in our understanding of the underlying trade-offs surrounding management efforts and approaches. Here, we explore qualitative trends in the literature for invasive species with dual effects, drawing from both the recently compiled InvaCost database and international case studies. The few invasive species with dual roles in InvaCost provide evidence for a temporal increase in reporting of costs, but with benefits relatively sporadically reported alongside costs. We discuss methods, management, assessment and policy frameworks dedicated to these species, along with lessons learned, complexities and persisting knowledge gaps. Our analysis points at the need to enhance scientific understanding of those species through inter-and cross-disciplinary efforts that can help advance their management.
