Abstract
a. Aim: Outline of how the impact of non-native species can be defined and assessed, and how harmful non-native species can be managed across the different stages of the invasion process. b. Main concepts covered: Impact as a concept in invasion biology; impact scales, levels and mechanisms; management categories c. Main methods covered: EICAT and SEICAT schemes to assess the impacts of non-native species on biodiversity and socio-economics, respectively; framework for the management of non-native species d. Conclusions: Efforts are needed to improve communication and understanding of researchers, policy-makers, practitioners and other stakeholders involved in the impact assessment and management of non-native species.
