The Baltic Sea Alien Species Database is an interactive tool, which includes the following information retrieving options: "Database Search", "Baltic Sub-regions" and "Species Directory". The information comprised in the Database comes from: a) members of the Baltic Marine Biologists Working Group on Non-indigenous Estuarine and Marine Organisms and other researchers involved in invasive biology studies; b) published papers, environmental reports, grey literature, Internet sites; c) the Database Questionnaire. The Database contains following information: Taxon - Phylum/division or class ... ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
The Global Invasive Species Database was developed by the IUCN/SSC Invasive Species Specialist Group (ISSG) as part of the global initiative on invasive species led by the Global Invasive Species Programme (GISP). It provides global information on invasive alien species to agencies, resource managers, decision-makers, and interested individuals. The database focuses on invasive species that threaten biodiversity and covers all taxonomic groups from micro-organisms to animals and plants. Species information is supplied by expert contributors from around the world and includes; species' biology, ecology, native and alien range, references, contacts, links and images. The database is currently being populated with species information. Please check on a regular basis for updates. ... [Information of the supplier]
Invasive.org has been under development for a number of years, and is the result of the efforts of a large number of people. In the mid-1990's we recognized a need for quality photographs of forest insects and disease organisms to use in information technology applications. The overall objective of Invasive.org is: to provide an accessible and easily used archive of high quality images related to invasive and exotic species, with particular emphasis on educational applications. ...

APASD provides information on invasive alien species (IAS) in the Asia-Pacific countries and regions. IASs are classified into nine categories: insects, mammals, nematodes, other animals, bacteria, fungi, plants, viruses, and other organisms. This category (organism group) is a key for searching the data. Each IAS data record consists of the following data fields. Among them, "country or region", "species name" and "year of invasion or detection" can be keys for an IAS search. Data fields: country or region name, organism name (organism group, order, family, species name, English common name), year of invasion or detection, native region, situation of establishment, taxonomic description, expansion of distribution area, environmental impact, economic damage, reproduction, growth, countermeasure, similar species, host species, habitat, photo images, references, and writer's name and affiliation. ...

The North European and Baltic Network on Invasive Alien Species (NOBANIS) has developped a network of common databases on alien and invasive species of the region. By establishing a common portal access to IAS-related data, information and knowledge in the region is facilitated. NOBANIS is a network for cooperation between competent authorities of the region and contributes to implementing recommendations from CBD’s COP6. One of the goals of NOBANIS is to provide administrative tools for making the precautionary approach operational in preventing the unintentional dispersal of invasive alien species. Furthermore, NOBANIS establishes a regional cooperation to aid countries in eradication, control and mitigation of ecological effects of invasive alien species. ... [Information of the supplier]
The present web site was developed in the course of the project "InvasIBER: website sobre la introducción de especies exóticas en España". It provides a platform for information on invasive exotic species on the Iberian Peninsula. Species with only casual occurrences, and exotic species of the Canary and Balearic Islands; are not included. ... [Editorial staff vifabio]
The mission of the Center for Invasive Species & Ecosystem Health is to serve a lead role in development, consolidation and dissemination of information and programs focused on invasive species, forest health, natural resource and agricultural management through technology development, program implementation, training, applied research and public awareness at the state, regional, national and international levels. ...

In 1999, the database on species introduced into Poland was developed at the Institute of Nature Conservation, Polish Academy of Sciences in Krakow for the Ministry of the Environment. In 2003, thanks to a grant from the US State Department, part of the data was translated and made accessible on the Internet. In 2003-2009, as a result of cooperation between a group of experts, new species were included. Currently there are 1066 alien species of plants, animals and fungi in the database. Part of the detailed data relating to species is available. These include: pathway, place and time of introduction into Poland, current distribution, population trends and impact on native species, habitats and ecosystems. Necessity and methods of species control management are also assessed. The Polish database became a part of NOBANIS which is an important gateway to data on invasive alien species in Northern and Central Europe. The database was also the main source of data from Poland provided for the DAISIE project, whose aim was to develop a database of on all alien species in Europe. In 2009, the database structure was significantly changed, according to guidelines developed by GISIN. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
Umgangssprachlich nennt man sie Einwanderer, Eindringlinge, Exoten, Invasoren, Fremdlinge oder im englischen Sprachgebrauch auch Aliens. Doch wer vermutet, dass sich hinter diesen Begriffen außerirdische Lebensformen verbergen, welche die Erde bedrohen, der irrt. Es handelt sich hierbei vielmehr um Pflanzen- und Tierarten, die durch den Menschen in für sie neue Lebensräume gebracht wurden. Das Museum am Schölerberg hat sich entschieden, zusammen mit dem Lehrstuhl für experimentelle Ökologie und Ökosystembiologie der Universität Bielefeld eine Wanderausstellung zum Thema „Gebietsfremde Tier- und Pflanzenarten“ zu entwickeln. Hiermit kann eine Basis geschaffen werden, um das Phänomen nicht-heimischer Organismen einer größeren Öffentlichkeit bekannt zu machen. ... [Information des Anbieters, verändert]
NEOBIOTA is the European Group on Biological Invasions. It was founded at a meeting in Berlin 1999 as a consortium of scientists aiming at an enhanced integration of invasion research. Invasions by non-native plants, animals, fungi and micro-organisms cause increasing problems in many European countries as well as on the global scale. Introduced ‘new' species (‘Neobiota') can threaten the existing biological diversity, alter the structure and function of ecosystems and can eventually cause severe economic and human health problems. The scientists in the NEOBIOTA group work together on theoretical and applied aspects of biological invasions, but also aim at educating the public and consulting with policy makers. ...
