The database currently includes 2,142 records for 676 taxa. All these records consist of species except for 67 instances that were originally identified only to genus or family. In all cases, a single record consists of an introduction of a particular species to a particular location. Data collected, as available, include (1) species, (2) locality to which introduced, (3) success of the introduction, (4) dates of introductions (including dates for multiple introductions, when known), (5) reason(s) for introduction, (6) minimum number of independent introductions of the same species to the same locality, (7) literature supporting the data in these prior cells, (8) literature providing additional data on the ecology or evolution of the species in the recipient jurisdiction, and (9) taxonomic synonyms. Not all these data are available for all species, but some are available for most. Each field requires some explanation.
