将物种引入到它们不自然存在的地方（称为外来物种）可能会产生深远和不可预测的环境和经济后果。因此，阻止外来物种引进和传播的浪潮具有强烈的动机。为了确定外来入侵的广泛模式和过程，需要一个有空间参照的、关于一个完整分类群的历史引进和外来分布的全球数据集。在这里，我们提出了全球鸟类入侵地图集（GAVIA）-一个新的空间和时间数据集，包括27，723分布记录的971外来鸟类物种介绍到230个国家和行政区域跨越6000 BCE-AD 2014年。GAVIA的初衷是提供一个统一的外来鸟类引进记录数据库，包括入侵各个阶段的记录，包括失败的引进和成功的引进。GAVIA代表了有关任何主要分类群中外来物种全球分布的最全面的资源，可以检查外来鸟类分布的空间和时间动态。
The introduction of species to locations where they do not naturally occur (termed aliens) can have far-reaching and unpredictable environmental and economic consequences. Therefore there is a strong incentive to stem the tide of alien species introduction and spread. In order to identify broad patterns and processes of alien invasions, a spatially referenced, global dataset on the historical introductions and alien distributions of a complete taxonomic group is required. Here we present the Global Avian Invasions Atlas (GAVIA)—a new spatial and temporal dataset comprising 27,723 distribution records for 971 alien bird species introduced to 230 countries and administrative areas spanning the period 6000BCE—AD2014. GAVIA was initiated to provide a unified database of records on alien bird introductions, incorporating records from all stages of invasion, including introductions that have failed as well as those that have succeeded. GAVIA represents the most comprehensive resource on the global distribution of alien species in any major taxon, allowing the spatial and temporal dynamics of alien bird distributions to be examined.
