This is mostly the work of the #InvaCost program (invacost.fr), which yielded 79 published studies.
We have now the new project #InvaPact coming up, which will be even better and more impactful.

Global economic costs of alien birds The adverse impacts of alien birds are widespread and diverse, and associated with costs due to the damage caused and actions required to manage them. We synthesised global cost data to identify variation across regions, types of impact, and alien bird species. Costs amount to US$3.6 billion, but this is likely a vast underestimate. Costs are low compared to other taxonomic groups assessed using the same methods; despite underreporting, alien birds are likely to be less damaging and easier to manage than many other alien taxa. Research to understand why this is the case could inform measures to reduce costs associated with biological invasions. Costs are biassed towards high-income regions and damaging environmental impacts, particularly on islands. Most costs on islands result from actions to protect biodiversity and tend to be low and one-off (temporary). Most costs at mainland locations result from damage by a few, widespread species. Some of these costs are high and ongoing (permanent). Actions to restrict alien bird invasions at mainland locations might prevent high, ongoing costs. Reports increased sharply after 2010, but many are for local actions to manage expanding alien bird populations. However, the successful eradication of these increasingly widespread species will require a coordinated, international response.

Unveiling the hidden economic toll of biological invasions in the European Union - Environmental Sciences Europe Background Biological invasions threaten the functioning of ecosystems, biodiversity, and human well-being by degrading ecosystem services and eliciting massive economic costs. The European Union has historically been a hub for cultural development and global trade, and thus, has extensive opportunities for the introduction and spread of alien species. While reported costs of biological invasions to some member states have been recently assessed, ongoing knowledge gaps in taxonomic and spatio-temporal data suggest that these costs were considerably underestimated. Results We used the latest available cost data in InvaCost (v4.1)—the most comprehensive database on the costs of biological invasions—to assess the magnitude of this underestimation within the European Union via projections of current and future invasion costs. We used macroeconomic scaling and temporal modelling approaches to project available cost information over gaps in taxa, space, and time, thereby producing a more complete estimate for the European Union economy. We identified that only 259 out of 13,331 (~ 1%) known invasive alien species have reported costs in the European Union. Using a conservative subset of highly reliable, observed, country-level cost entries from 49 species (totalling US$4.7 billion; 2017 value), combined with the establishment data of alien species within European Union member states, we projected unreported cost data for all member states. Conclusions Our corrected estimate of observed costs was potentially 501% higher (US$28.0 billion) than currently recorded. Using future projections of current estimates, we also identified a substantial increase in costs and costly species (US$148.2 billion) by 2040. We urge that cost reporting be improved to clarify the economic impacts of greatest concern, concomitant with coordinated international action to prevent and mitigate the impacts of invasive alien species in the European Union and globally.

InvaCost: Economic cost estimates associated with biological invasions worldwide. InvaCost is the most up-to-date, comprehensive, standardized and robust data compilation and description of economic cost estimates associated with invasive species worldwide1. InvaCost has been constructed to provide a contemporary and freely available repository of monetary impacts that can be relevant for both research and evidence-based policy making. The ongoing work made by the InvaCost consortium2,3,4 leads to constantly improving the structure and content of the database (see sections below). The list of actual contributors to this data resource now largely exceeds the list of authors listed in this page. All details regarding the previous versions of InvaCost can be found by switching from one version to another using the “version” button above. IMPORTANT UPDATES: 1. All information, files, outcomes, updates and resources related to the InvaCost project are now available on a new website: http://invacost.fr/2. The names of the following columns have been changed between the previous and the current version: ‘Raw_cost_estimate_local_currency’ is now named ‘Raw_cost_estimate_original_currency’; ‘Min_Raw_cost_estimate_local_currency’ is now named ‘Min_Raw_cost_estimate_original_currency’; ‘Max_Raw_cost_estimate_local_currency’ is now named ‘Max_Raw_cost_estimate_original_currency’; ‘Cost_estimate_per_year_local_currency’ is now named ‘Cost_estimate_per_year_original_currency’3. The Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about the database and how to (1) understand it, (2) analyse it and (3) add new data are available at: https://farewe.github.io/invacost_FAQ/. There are over 60 questions (and responses), so there’s probably yours.4. Accordingly with the continuous development and updates of the database, a ‘living figure’ is now available online to display the evolving relative contributions of different taxonomic groups and regions to the overall cost estimates as the database is updated: https://borisleroy.com/invacost/invacost_livingfigure.html5. We have now added a new column called ‘InvaCost_ID’, which is now used to identify each cost entry in the current and future public versions of the database. As this new column only affects the identification of the cost entries and not their categorisation, this is not considered as a change of the structure of the whole database. Therefore, the first level of the version numbering remains ‘4’ (see VERSION NUMBERING section). CONTENT: This page contains four files: (1) 'InvaCost_database_v4.1' which contains 13,553 cost entries depicted by 66 descriptive columns; (2) ‘Descriptors 4.1’ provides full definition and details about the descriptive columns used in the database; (3) ‘Update_Invacost_4.1’ has details about the all the changes made between previous and current versions of InvaCost; (4) ‘InvaCost_template_4.1’ (downloadable file) provides an easier way of entering data in the spreadsheet, standardizing all the terms used on it as much as possible to avoid mistakes and saving time at post-refining stages (this file should be used by any external contributor to propose new cost data). METHODOLOGY: All the methodological details and tools used to build and populate this database are available in Diagne et al. 20201 and Angulo et al. 20215. Note that several papers used different approaches to investigate and analyse the database, and they are all available on our website http://invacost.fr/. VERSION NUMBERING: InvaCost is regularly updated with contributions from both authors and future users in order to improve it both quantitatively (by new cost information) and qualitatively (if errors are identified). Any reader or user can propose to update InvaCost by filling the ‘InvaCost_updates_template’ file with new entries or corrections, and sending it to our email address (updates@invacost.fr). Each updated public version of InvaCost is stored in this figShare repository, with a unique version number. For this purpose, we consider the original version of InvaCost publicly released in September 2020 as ‘InvaCost_1.0’. The further updated versions are named using the subsequent numbering (e.g., ‘InvaCost_2.0’, InvaCost_2.1’) and all information on changes made are provided in a dedicated file called ‘Updates-InvaCost’ (named using the same numbering, e.g., ‘Updates-InvaCost_2.0’, ‘Updates-InvaCost_2.1’). We consider changing the first level of this numbering (e.g. ‘InvaCost_3.x’ ‘InvaCost_4.x’) only when the structure of the database changes. Every user wanting to have the most up-to-date version of the database should refer to the latest released version. RECOMMENDATIONS: Every user should read the ‘Usage notes’ section of Diagne et al. 20201 before considering the database for analysis purposes or specific interpretation. InvaCost compiles cost data published in the literature, but does not aim to provide a ready-to-use dataset for specific analyses. While the cost data are described in a homogenized way in InvaCost, the intrinsic disparity, complexity, and heterogeneity of the cost data require specific data processing depending on the user objectives (see our FAQ). However, we provide necessary information and caveats about recorded costs, and we have now an open-source software designed to query and analyse this database6. CAUTION: InvaCost is currently being analysed by a network of international collaborators in the frame of the InvaCost project2,3,4 (see https://invacost.fr/en/outcomes/). Interested users may contact the InvaCost team if they wish to learn more about or contribute to these current efforts. Users are in no way prevented from performing their own independent analyses and collaboration with this network is not required. Nonetheless, users and contributors are encouraged to contact the InvaCost team before using the database, as the information contained may not be directly implementable for specific analyses.
