Assessing the ecological and societal impacts of alien parrots in Europe using a transparent and inclusive evidence-mapping scheme
Globally, the number of invasive alien species (IAS) continues to increase, and management
and policy responses typically need to be adopted before conclusive empirical evidence on
their environmental and socioeconomic impacts are available. Consequently, numerous
protocols exist for assessing IAS impacts, and differ considerably in which evidence they
include. However, inclusive strategies for building a transparent evidence base underlying
IAS impact assessments are lacking, potentially affecting our ability to reliably identify priority …
