The
Economic Cost of Large Constrictor Snakes (Jan 2012;
PDF | 687 KB)
DOI.
Fish and Wildlife Service.
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.

Making to List Four Constrictor Snake Species Under the

 Research
Show Invasive Species Cost the Great Lakes Millions:
New Paper Assigns Dollar Figure to Effects of Shipborne
Invaders (Mar
29, 2012)
University of Notre Dame.
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
U.S. 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."

Study
Finds that Local Government, Home Owners Are Paying
for Damages Caused by Non-native Forest Insects (Sep
9, 2011)
USDA. FS.
Northern Research Station.
Non-native, wood-boring insects such as the emerald
ash borer and the Asian
longhorned beetle are costing an estimated $1.7
billion in local government expenditures and approximately
$830 million in lost residential property values
every year, according to study by a research team
that included scientists with the U.S. Forest Service, Northern
Research Station. This study provides the most
comprehensive estimates of the costs of non-native
forest insects that are currently available for the U.S.

One study estimates that the total costs
of invasive species in the United States amount to more
than $100 billion each year. (Pimentel
et al., 2005) |

Invasive species impact nearly half of
the species currently listed as Threatened or Endangered
under the U.S. Federal
Endangered Species Act. (Pimentel
et al., 2005) |

Rust Economic Assessment (webarchive)
USDA. Economic Research Service.
Soybean Rust was detected in the United States for the first time in Nov
2004. Soybean rust has reduced yields and raised production costs in major production
regions around the world. |
