BioInvasions Records is an open access, rapid peer-reviewed international journal focusing on applied research on alien species and biological invasions in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems from around the world. BioInvasions Records is devoted to bridging the gap between scientific research and the use of science in decision-making, regulation and management in the area of introduction of invasive species and biodiversity conservation. The journal provides the opportunity of timely publication of first records of aquatic and terrestrial invaders and other relevant information needed for risk assessments and early warning systems. Also, relevant technical reports and conference proceedings can be considered for publication in this journal.

BioInvasions Records is a continuation of the former Aquatic Invasions Records, Supplement of Aquatic Invasions, published in 2010-2011 - see http://www.aquaticinvasions.net/2010/supplement1.html and http://www.aquaticinvasions.net/2011/AI_6_supplement1.html
