最近，布莱克本等。 （2014年）开发了一种简单，客观和透明的方法，用于根据受体领域的有害环境影响的大小对外星人分类进行分类。在这里，我们提出了实施此方法的综合框架和指南，我们将其称为外星人类群或EICAT的环境影响分类。我们详细介绍了以一致且可比的方式应用EICAT方案的标准，规定应与分类一起提供的支持信息，并描述实施该方法的过程。该评论旨在引起有关框架和指南的感兴趣各方的注意，并在任何潜在用户可以自由访问的位置中完整地展示它们。
Recently, Blackburn et al. (2014) developed a simple, objective and transparent method for classifying alien taxa in terms of the magnitude of their detrimental environmental impacts in recipient areas. Here, we present a comprehensive framework and guidelines for implementing this method, which we term the Environmental Impact Classification for Alien Taxa, or EICAT. We detail criteria for applying the EICAT scheme in a consistent and comparable fashion, prescribe the supporting information that should be supplied along with classifications, and describe the process for implementing the method. This comment aims to draw the attention of interested parties to the framework and guidelines, and to present them in their entirety in a location where they are freely accessible to any potential users.
