  abstract = {{I}ntroduction pathways play a pivotal role in the success of {I}nvasive {A}lien {S}pecies ({IAS})-the subset of alien species that have a negative environmental and/or socio-economic impact. {P}athways refer to the fundamental processes that leads to the introduction of a species from one geographical location to another-marking the beginning of all alien species invasions. {I}ncreased knowledge of pathways is essential to help reduce the number of introductions and impacts of {IAS} and ultimately improve their management. {H}ere we use the {I}nva{C}ost database, a comprehensive repository on the global monetary impacts of {IAS}, combined with pathway data classified using the {C}onvention on {B}iological {D}iversity ({CBD}) hierarchical classification and compiled from {CABI} {I}nvasive {S}pecies {C}ompendium, the {G}lobal {I}nvasive {S}pecies {D}atabase ({GISD}) and the published literature to address five key points. {D}ata were available for 478 individual {IAS}. {F}or these, we found that both the total and annual average cost per species introduced through the '{S}towaway' ({US}$144.9bn; {US}$89.4m) and '{C}ontaminant' pathways ({US}$99.3bn; {US}$158.0m) were higher than species introduced primarily through the '{E}scape' ({US}$87.4bn; {US}$25.4m) and '{R}elease' pathways ({US}$64.2bn; {US}$16.4m). {S}econd, the recorded costs (both total and average) of species introduced unintentionally was higher than that from species introduced intentionally. {T}hird, insects and mammals, respectively, accounted for the greatest proportion of the total cost of species introduced unintentionally and intentionally respectively, at least of the available records; '{S}towaway' had the highest recorded costs in {A}sia, {C}entral {A}merica, {N}orth {A}merica and {D}iverse/{U}nspecified regions. {F}ourthly, the total cost of a species in a given location is not related to the year of first record of introduction, but time gaps might blur the true pattern. {F}inally, the total and average cost of {IAS} were not related to their number of introduction pathways. {A}lthough our findings are directly limited by the available data, they provide important material which can contribute to pathway priority measures, notably by complementing studies on pathways associated with ecologically harmful {IAS}. {T}hey also highlight the crucial need to fill the remaining data gaps-something that will be critical in prioritising limited management budgets to combat the current acceleration of species invasions.},
