In a hyperconnected world, framing and managing biological invasions poses complex and contentious challenges, affecting socioeconomic and environmental sectors. This complexity distinguishes the field and fuels polarized debates. In the present article, we synthesize four contentious issues in invasion science that are rarely addressed together: vocabulary usage, the potential benefits of nonnative species, perceptions shifting because of global change, and rewilding practices and biological invasions. Researchers have predominantly focused on single issues; few have addressed multiple components of the debate within or across disciplinary boundaries. Ignoring the interconnected nature of these issues risks overlooking crucial cross-links. We advocate for interdisciplinary approaches that better integrate social and natural sciences. Although they are challenging, interdisciplinary collaborations offer hope to overcome polarization issues in invasion science. These may bridge disagreements, facilitate knowledge exchange, and reshape invasion science narratives. Finally, we present a contemporary agenda to advance future research, management, and constructive dialogue.
在一个高度互联的世界里，界定和管理生物入侵带来了复杂且有争议的挑战，影响着社会经济和环境领域。这种复杂性使该领域独具特色，并引发了两极分化的争论。在本文中，我们综合了入侵科学中四个很少同时被探讨的有争议问题：词汇使用、非本地物种的潜在益处、因全球变化而发生的观念转变，以及野化实践与生物入侵。研究人员主要关注单一问题；很少有人在学科内部或跨学科边界探讨辩论的多个组成部分。忽视这些问题的相互关联性可能会忽略关键的交叉联系。我们提倡采用能更好地整合社会科学和自然科学的跨学科方法。尽管具有挑战性，但跨学科合作有望克服入侵科学中的两极分化问题。这些合作可能弥合分歧、促进知识交流，并重塑入侵科学的叙事。最后，我们提出了一个当代议程，以推动未来的研究、管理和建设性对话。
