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 database is now publicly and freely accessible and enables rapid extraction of monetary cost information. This has facilitated knowledge sharing, developed a more integrated and multidisciplinary network of researchers, and forged multidisciplinary collaborations among diverse organizations and stakeholders. Over 50 scientific publications so far have used the database and have provided detailed assessments of invasion costs across geographic, taxonomic, and spatiotemporal scales. These studies have provided important information that can guide future policy and legislative decisions on the management of biological invasions while simultaneously attracting public and media attention. We provide an overview of the improved availability, reliability, standardization, and defragmentation of monetary costs; discuss how this has enhanced invasion science as a discipline; and outline directions for future development.
生物入侵是一项全球挑战，但尚未得到充分关注。最近的成本综合分析为政策制定者和决策者提供了有关生物入侵经济影响的可靠且最新的信息，旨在推动有效的管理。由此产生的数据库现已公开免费获取，并能快速提取货币成本信息。这促进了知识共享，形成了一个更加综合和多学科的研究人员网络，并促成了不同组织和利益相关者之间的多学科合作。到目前为止，已有50多篇科学出版物使用了该数据库，并对地理、分类学和时空尺度上的入侵成本进行了详细评估。这些研究提供了重要信息，可指导未来关于生物入侵管理的政策和立法决策，同时吸引公众和媒体的关注。我们概述了货币成本在可用性、可靠性、标准化和碎片化方面的改善情况；讨论了这如何提升了入侵科学这一学科；并概述了未来的发展方向。
