The economic burden of protecting islands from invasive alien species

The paper assesses the economic costs of invasive alien species on islands, finding offshore islands have the highest management costs, while nation states spend more on damage and GDP proportion.

Societal attention toward extinction threats

The paper analyzes public attention toward climate change and biological invasions using text data mining in three European countries, finding higher attention for climate change and a correlation with IUCN Red List severity.

Without quality presence-absence data, discrimination metrics such as TSS can be misleading measures of model performance

The paper shows that TSS can be misleading in species distribution models when presence-absence data are lacking, and recommends similarity/F-measures instead.
