Who is reporting non-native species and how? A cross-expert assessment of practices and drivers of non-native biodiversity reporting in species regional listing.

ABSTRACT: Each year, hundreds of scientific works with species' geographical data are published. However, these data can be challenging to identify, collect, and integrate into analytical workflows due to differences in reporting structures, storage formats, and the omission or inconsistency of relevant information and terminology. These difficulties tend to be aggravated for non-native species, given varying attitudes toward non-native species reporting and the existence of an additional layer of invasion-related terminology. Thus, our objective is to identify the current practices and drivers of the geographical reporting of non-native species in the scientific literature. We conducted an online survey targeting authors of species regional checklists-a widely published source of biogeographical da
