1 University of the Aegean – Department of Marine Sciences CIMPAL: a new index for the mapping of cumulative impacts of invasive alien species on marine habitats Stelios Katsanevakis, Fernando Tempera, Heliana Teixeira 1

2 University of the Aegean – Department of Marine Sciences 2 Policy makers: “Scientists will give us anything except an answer”

3 University of the Aegean – Department of Marine Sciences 3 grid cell Developing a cumulative impact index  A i :status of invasive alien species (IAS) i  H j :index of the extent of habitat j  w i,j :impact weight for IAS i and habitat j  n:number of invasive alien species  m: number of marine habitats [0, 1]

4 University of the Aegean – Department of Marine Sciences 4 w ij : impact weights for species i and habitat j Impact MinimalMinorModerateMajorMassive Strength of Evidence Robust 01248 Medium 00124 Low 00012

5 University of the Aegean – Department of Marine Sciences 5 w ij : impact weights for species i and habitat j Impact MinimalMinorModerateMajorMassive Strength of Evidence Robust 01248 Medium 00124 Low 00012 no or negligible individual fitness population level community level reversible community level irreversible
