Global Impacts Dataset of Invasive Alien Species (GIDIAS)

The Global Impacts Dataset of Invasive Alien Species (GIDIAS) reports on documented positive, negative and neutral impacts of invasive alien species on nature, nature’s contributions to people, and good quality of life. This dataset arose from the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services’ (IPBES) thematic assessment report of this topic (Zenodo https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7430682). A comprehensive description of the GIDIAS dataset was published as: Bacher, S., Ryan-Colton, E., Coiro, M. et al. Global Impacts Dataset of Invasive Alien Species (GIDIAS). Sci Data 12, 832 (2025). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41597-025-05184-5, and needs to be cited when publishing papers using GIDIAS. The first version of GIDIAS was published as: Bacher, S. et al. Global Impacts Dataset of Invasive Alien Species (GIDIAS). Figshare https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.27908838 (2025) Here, we publish updates to the GIDIAS.
