Rates of species invasion are rising globally, particularly in freshwater ecosystems. The impacts of only a small fraction of these invasions have been studied, and some have been found to cause substantial ecological and socio-economic damage. Nevertheless, there have been recent claims that the impacts of non-native species have been exaggerated, that native species have an equal propensity to cause damage, and therefore the biogeographic origins of species should not be considered in management decisions. Here, I address these claims by comparing the socio-economic impacts of native and non-native species in freshwater systems. Using data from North American and European watersheds, I find that non-native species are five times more ...
