Biological invasions are a leading cause of global environmental change given their effects on both humans and biodiversity. Humans introduce invasive alien species and may facilitate their establishment and spread, which can alter ecosystem services, livelihoods, and human well-being. People perceive the benefits and costs of these species through the lens of diverse value systems; these perspectives influence decisions about when and where to manage them. Despite the entanglement of humans with invasive alien species, most research on the topic has focused on their ecological aspects. Only relatively recently have the human and social dimensions of invasions started to receive sustained attention in light of their importance for understanding and governing biological invasions. This editorial draws on contributions to a special issue on the “Human and Social Dimensions of Invasion Science” and other literature to elucidate major trends and current contributions in this research area. We examine the relation between humans and biological invasions in terms of four crosscutting themes: (1) how people cause biological invasions; (2) how people conceptualise and perceive them; (3) how people are affected – both positively and negatively – by them; and (4) how people respond to them. We also highlight several ways in which research on the human and social dimensions of invasion science improves understanding, stakeholder engagement, and management.

入侵科学与管理的人文和社会层面

鉴于其对人类和生物多样性的影响,生物入侵是全球环境变化的主要原因。人类会引入外来入侵物种,并可能促进其建立和传播,从而改变生态系统服务,生计和人类福祉。人们通过各种价值体系来认识这些物种的利益和代价;这些观点会影响有关何时何地进行管理的决策。尽管人类与外来入侵物种纠缠不清,但有关该主题的大多数研究都集中在其生态方面。鉴于入侵在理解和治理生物入侵方面的重要性,直到最近才开始对入侵的人类和社会层面给予持续关注。这篇社论引用了有关“入侵科学的人类和社会层面”和其他文献来阐明该研究领域的主要趋势和当前的贡献。我们从四个交叉的主题来研究人类与生物入侵之间的关系:(1)人们如何引起生物入侵;(2)人们如何概念化和理解他们;(3)人们如何受到人们的正面和负面影响;(4)人们如何回应他们。我们还重点介绍了几种有关入侵科学的人文和社会方面的研究,以增进理解,利益相关者的参与和管理。
