The article "Impacts of Biological Invasions: What’s What and the Way Forward" by Daniel Simberloff et al. discusses the growing field of invasion science, which focuses on understanding and mitigating the impacts of biological invasions. The authors highlight recent progress in understanding invasion impacts and management, while also addressing the challenges faced by the discipline in its interactions with society. They emphasize the complexity and multifaceted nature of invasion impacts, which can be difficult to evaluate, uncertain, delayed, and pervasive. The article outlines a range of actions, from prevention to eradication and long-term management, and discusses the importance of integrating ecological perspectives with socioeconomic considerations and human perceptions. The authors also address the ethical and social implications of invasion management, particularly in relation to biodiversity conservation and the public's perception of non-native species. Finally, they propose ways to advance the field and enhance its ability to respond to challenges, such as improving metrics for quantifying impacts and bridging the gap between scientific understanding and management actions.The article "Impacts of Biological Invasions: What’s What and the Way Forward" by Daniel Simberloff et al. discusses the growing field of invasion science, which focuses on understanding and mitigating the impacts of biological invasions.
