Dear Ecolog-ers: I'm pleased to announce the publication of the USGS Open-File Report, "First comprehensive list of non-native species established in three major regions of the United States," its accompanying dataset, and other related documents.
This publication is a result of six years of collaborative research among three USGS Science Centers and my USGS program, and work to update and improve the U.S. non-native species list is ongoing. Here are the associated DOIs: *Report:* https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20181156 *Data:* https://doi.org/10.5066/P9E5K160 Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions, especially corrections, or additions. Please return to the dataset's ScienceBase page <https://www.sciencebase.gov/catalog/item/5b911a5ce4b0702d0e808588> often (where the dataset resides), because at this time we are updating the list in an ongoing way and will post the latest versions there (the next version is coming soon). And finally, many thanks to my numerous collaborators and contributors, but especially co-authors Meghan C. Eyler, Matt Cannister, Reko Libby, Natasha Kozlowski, Elizabeth Sellers, and Gerald Guala.
