The Economic Cost of Large Constrictor Snakes (Jan 2012)
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, in partnership with many organizations, has spent more than $6 million since 2005 finding and applying solutions to the growing problem of Burmese pythons and other large invasive constrictor snakes in Florida. For more information, see Rule Making to List Four Constrictor Snake Species Under the Lacey Act: Final Economic Analysis (Jan 12, 2012).

Research Show Invasive Species Cost the Great Lakes Millions: New Paper Assigns Dollar Figure to Effects of Shipborne Invaders (Mar 29, 2012)
Researchers assigns a dollar figure on the cost to the Great Lakes from invasive species that originate in the ballast water of ocean-going vessels. For the US waters, median damages aggregated across multiple ecosystem services were $138 million per year, and there is a 5% chance that for sportfishing alone losses exceeded $800 million annually. For information, see the journal article "Ship-borne Nonindigenous Species Diminish Great Lakes Ecosystem Services."

Cost
of Invasive Non-native Species - Early Eradication
Lessens Impact (Dec 15, 2010)
Scottish Goverment.
The financial cost of non-native species has been published in a new report. "The
Economic Cost of Invasive Non-Native Species to the British Economy" suggests
that invasive species cost 1.7 billion pounds every year. The research was conducted
by the international scientific organization CABI for
the Scottish Government, Defra and the Welsh Assembly Government and breaks down
the effect on each country. It indicates that the economic cost of INNS can be
wide ranging and can result in the loss of crops, ecosystems and livelihoods.
The cost to the agriculture and horticulture sector alone is estimated to be
1 billion pounds across Britain. See Great
Britain Non-native Species Secretariat - Reports for the full report and
supporting document.

A
Toolkit for the Economic Analysis
of Invasive Species (2008; PDF | 2 MB)
Global Invasive Species Programme.
The aim of this toolkit is to provide a clear, user-friendly
guide to the application of economic approaches
and tools to invasive species. It addresses the issues
associated with identifying the factors which cause
the spread of invasives, incorporating consideration
of invasive species into economic planning and
policy-making, and identifying economic tools and measures
to support on-the-ground management
actions designed to address biological invasions. This
toolkit has been produced for use in training
courses to be held in Africa. It is targeted primarily
at economists working in research and planning – in
universities, research institutions, government agencies
and non-governmental organisations. However, it
is intended that the toolkit will also provide guidance
on economics tools and approaches to scientists
who are working on invasive species management.

Research
Finds Economic Impact of Laurel Wilt Disease
Could be "Catastrophic" (Sep
9, 2010)
American Society for Horticultural
Science.
Scientists have found that the
invasive fungus called laurel
wilt disease and the redbay ambrosia
beetle, which carries laurel wilt, represent
a significant economic threat to Florida's
avocado industry. According to the report Potential
Economic Impact of Laurel Wilt Disease on
the Florida Avocado Industry published
in HortTechnology, direct losses
from the invasion could range from $183 million
to a remarkable high of $356 million.

Ecologists
Put Price Tag on Invasive Species: Research reports
costs of invasive species' damage to ecosystem services
(Apr 20, 2009)
Ecological Society of America.
In a study, How
well do we understand the impacts of alien species on
ecosystem services? A pan-European, cross-taxa assessment (published
in Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment e-view),
ecologists have listed the invasive species that cause
the most harm to environment and cost the most money
to control.
