SInAS: A global dataset of native and alien distributions of alien species
Authors/Creators
Description
The SInAS dataset represents a collection of regional lists of alien (also called non-native) species and includes information about their native ranges, habitats and year of first record. This database has been generated by standardising and integrating large global databases of alien species occurrences using the SInAS workflow version 2.0 (https://github.com/hseebens/SInAS).
The SInAS dataset is described in more detail in the following scientific article, which need to be cited when using this dataset:

The first version of the workflow to generate the database has been published here:
