ABSTRACT Identification of ecosystem services, i.e. the contributions that ecosystems make to human well‐being, has proven instrumental in galvanising public and political support for safeguarding biodiversity its benefits people. Here we synthesise global evidence on services provided disrupted by freshwater bivalves, a heterogenous group >1200 species, including some most threatened (in Unionida) invasive (e.g. Dreissena polymorpha ) taxa globally.

Unveiling the hidden economic toll of biological invasions in the European Union

Abstract Background Biological invasions threaten the functioning of ecosystems, biodiversity, and human well-being by degrading ecosystem services eliciting massive economic costs. The European Union has historically been a hub for cultural development global trade, thus, extensive opportunities introduction spread alien species. While reported costs biological to some member states have recently assessed, ongoing knowledge gaps in taxonomic spatio-temporal data suggest that these were considerably underestimated. Results We used latest available cost InvaCost (v4.1)—the most comprehensive database on invasions—to assess magnitude this underestimation within via projections current future invasion macroeconomic scaling temporal modelling approaches project information over taxa, space, time, thereby producing more complete estimate economy. identified only 259 out 13,331 (~ 1%) known invasive species Union.

The faunal Ponto-Caspianization of central and western European waterways

Biological Invasions, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 25(8), P. 2613 - 2629

Published: April 19, 2023

Abstract As alien invasive species are a key driver of biodiversity loss, understanding patterns rapidly changing global compositions depends upon knowledge population dynamics and trends at large scales. Within this context, the Ponto-Caspian region is among most notable donor regions for aquatic in Europe. Using macroinvertebrate time series collected over 52 years (1968–2020) 265 sites across 11 central western European countries, we examined occurrences, invasion rates, abundances freshwater fauna. We whether: (i) successive invasions follow consistent pattern composition pioneered by same species, (ii) accelerates subsequent rates.

Abstract In this review, we synthesize the current knowledge of biology, ecology, and impact Sinanodonta freshwater mussels (Bivalvia, Unionidae), native to East Asia, that have successfully invaded Europe, Central America, North Africa, several Asian regions. The main introduction pathways were reconstructed based on DNA sequence data distribution records. We show invasive lineages belong three species, namely, S. woodiana s. str. (“temperate invasive” lineage), pacifica (“tropical lauta . Their generalist fish-dispersed larvae, short life span, high fecundity, use by humans for multiple purposes, ability establish populations in anthropogenically disturbed conditions identified as crucial traits driving their invasions. Information consequences is scarcer, but can species through larval parasitism, host fish/food competition, parasite transmission. addition, ecosystem effects filtration—biodeposition—excretion activity occurrence massive die-offs detected.

Understanding the complex dynamics of zebra mussel invasions over several decades in European rivers: drivers, impacts and predictions

The zebra mussel Dreissena polymorpha is one of the most successful, notorious, and detrimental aquatic invasive non‐native species worldwide, having invaded Europe North America while causing substantial ecological socio‐economic impacts. Here, we investigated spatiotemporal trends in this species' invasion success using 178 macroinvertebrate abundance time series, containing 1451 records D. collected across nine European countries between 1972–2019. Using these raw (absolute) data, examined drivers occurrences relative abundances within communities.

Increased awareness invasions on part respondents positively influences willingness protect fish crayfish species not their counterparts. Higher identification scores by participants significantly decreased support species. Female were more willing including ones. Respondents could better extent than crayfish. Without public citizen-aimed education, we will be unable conduct sustainable prevent further species' introductions translocations.
