Alien Species First Records Database
<p>The Alien Species First Records data set contains years (first records) when an established alien species was first recorded in a region (mostly countries, but also sub-national units).</p><p>The first records were gathered in a collaborative effort involving >50 researchers worldwide from various sources consisting of online databases, scientific publications, reports and personal collections. A full list of data sources is provided in the data set and the data are described in more detail in the (compilation of data, list of data sources, delineation of continents, analyses etc.) in the following publication, which can be downloaded with free access:</p><p>Seebens, H., Blackburn, T. M., Dyer, E. E., Genovesi, P., Hulme, P. E., Jeschke, J. M., … Essl, F. (2017). No saturation in the accumulation of alien species worldwide. Nature Communications, 8(1), 14435. https://doi.org/10.1038/ncomms14435</p><p>The data set was revised and further extended in version 1.2, which was introduced by:</p><p>Seebens, H., Blackburn, T. M., Dyer, E. E., Genovesi, P., Hulme, P. E., Jeschke, J. M., … Essl, F. (2018). Global rise in emerging alien species results from increased accessibility of new source pools. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 115(10), E2264–E2273. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1719429115</p><p>One of the above references needs to be cited in case of using the data set.</p><p>Note that single years of first records were generated from original records in cases latest years (e.g., '<1920', 'pre-1920') or ranges (e.g., '1920s', 1920-1930') were provided in the original document following these rules:</p><ul><li>If latest years were provided (e.g., '<1920'), this year was taken (e.g., '1920')</li><li>If ranges of years larger 20 years were provided in the original source, these records were removed.</li><li>If ranges of years equal or less than 20 years were provided in the original document, a random year was selected from this time period. This was done to avoid artificial peaks at e.g. the mean value or the first year of that period.</li></ul><p>Consequently, some records represent years randomly drawn from the original time period, which makes the column 'FirstRecord' different from the original data source. The original first record as provided in the source is provided in the column 'FirstRecord_orig' of the data set.</p>
Cyprus Database of Alien Species – CyDAS
<p>This repository includes data and datasets derived and adapted from the Cyprus Database of Alien Species (CyDAS) (https://ris-ky.info/cydas), an openly accessible, online, dynamic platform providing informational resources on alien species on the island of Cyprus. The platform includes information on 1,293 terrestrial, freshwater and marine introduced taxa, with species profiles being constantly updated to keep track of new arrivals. The CyDAS aims to catalogue and supplement our knowledge on the alien species of Cyprus; to develop and enhance early warning and rapid response systems; to raise public awareness of the risks posed by the IAS subset; to strengthen and enhance engagement and public participation in surveys in the field of biological invasions; and to inform IAS policy. CyDAS is a free, online database and we would like to other encourage researchers and decision-makers to provide information on IAS.</p> <p>For further information on the data refer to the READ ME file. Please cite these data according to the assigned DOI as well as according to the citation of the data paper on Scientific Data.</p>

IPBES Invasive Alien Species Assessment, database for Chapter 4. Impact Evidence Database
<p>This is a database described in the data management report for chapter 4 of IPBES thematic assessment on invasive alien species and their control.</p> <p>Data were gathered on direct observations of impacts from published literature, including grey literature, in order to form a database on the evidence to which invasive alien species impact, negatively and positively, nature, nature's contributions to people and good quality of life for Chapter 4 of IPBES thematic assessment of invasive alien species and their control. The criteria for inclusion were a published direct evidence of an impact on native species, a change in ecosystem properties, nature's contributions to people and the extent to which humans were affected through changes in their constituents of well-being.</p> <p> </p> <p>Updates to version 3:</p> <p>1) Assessor “EAM” has been replaced by “Ester Mostert”,</p> <p>2) There were 50 Unique IDs that were paired. These are now differentiated by adding an a and b to the end of these to make them truly unique,</p> <p>3) Removed 40 duplicates</p> <p>4) RowID were re-numbered to reflect the unique number of rows</p> <p> </p>
