Tracking invasive species eradications on islands at a global scale

Abstract

Here we present database history, parameter definitions and database considerations. We also highlight additional studies the underlying data have contributed to, including evaluating the native species benefi t from invasive mammal eradications on islands, and global indices to track progress towards the Convention of Biological Diversity Aichi target 9 (Invasive Alien Species), that explicitly requires an increased eff ort of eradication of priority invasive species.
