Table 3.
“Historic invaders” risk weighting factors applied to each re-scaled spatial surrogate value and used to derive invasion risk index scores based on historic invasion patterns (per the GLANSIS “Nonindigenous + Range Expanders” list). The risk weighting factors were calculated as the proportion of species in each taxonomic group for which introduction has been assigned to a given pathway (s). When more than one pathway is indicated, the weighting is the sum of all pathways combined.
