Abstract Climate change is considered a driver for the spread of invasive alien species (IAS); nevertheless, research assessing this link remains limited. Recognizing suitable habitats where IAS have been introduced crucial biodiversity conservation and ecosystem management. Here, we integrated online, museum, laboratory occurrence databases with local ecological knowledge (LEK) on fishes from semi-structured interviews georeferenced Instagram posts traditional recreational fishers to model habitat-suitability three voracious Cichlids in Brazilian part Upper Paraguay River Basin (the Pantanal wetland its tributaries). Our goal was locate areas (regions, sub-basins, reservoirs) most at risk these basin. findings reveal extensive throughout study basin, currently covering half up 90% upstream sub-basins. Under future climate scenarios, are projected expand further, encompassing 85% floodplain - one fish-rich basins Neotropical region (~ 300 spp). These underscore potential Cichlid range expansion floodplains upcoming decades. emphasizes value integrating Ecological Niche Models (ENMs) Citizen Science data identify high-risk during early invasion stages, inform preventive strategies, support efforts mitigate impacts native biodiversity.
