Abstract Invasion science addresses interconnected ecological, economic, and social challenges posed by the introduction of nonnative species. Therefore, invasion scientists have to consider reconcile interdisciplinary needs while addressing potential implications their findings. Navigating diverse disciplines, including environmental sciences, ecology, economics, humanities, seek arrive at informed decisions on risk, impact, management. Individual biases, uncertainties, systemic pressures influence ability maintain objectivity resist that might otherwise distort findings or applications. In present commentary, we examine conceptual ethical dilemmas within field science, particularly reputational risks discipline perpetuating its own relevance framing invasions as insurmountable challenges. discussion, highlight how incentive structures, biased assessments framing, conflicts interest may compromise discipline's integrity.

Individual variation assessments are essential to better understand population and community dynamics, as well ecosystem functioning. Although researchers have long recognized this aspect, only recently has evidence accumulated about the ecological importance of within species. The incorporation individual provides an even more complete description effects a species may on ecosystems detailed knowledge can be especially important in context biological invasions. In study, we used invasion gradient signal crayfish Pacifastacus leniusculus Rabaçal River (NE Portugal) assess possible intrapopulation differences key traits evaluate changes impacts. For this, collected individuals from core front characterize several such abundance, size, sex-ratio, body condition, behaviour (i.e. boldness), trophic niche. addition, performed two laboratory experiments regarding consumption prey (gastropods), leaf mass loss, nutrients release. Signal lower larger, predominantly male, condition both sexes, exhibit increased boldness, higher δ 15 N 13 C values. experimental conditions, consumed gastropods leaves concentration nitrates phosphates water. Overall, different distinct impacts along studied river. Our study demonstrates relevance assessing invasive at level.  Graphical abstract

Abstract Invasive species have been drivers of biodiversity loss and functional changes in aquatic ecosystems, including protected areas. Therefore, monitoring population invasion dynamics biological traits is fundamental to better understand their ecological economic impacts for management actions development. We followed signal crayfish ( Pacifastacus leniusculus ) Rabaçal River upper reach at Montesinho Natural Park, Portugal. collected information on the spread (abundance, size, weight, physical condition, sex ratio, aggressiveness) assess differences between core front areas among years. Signal remained restricted since first reports 2013 until 2017. After 2019, has spreading downstream, decreasing abundance but increasing front. Significant higher number with claw indicate potential signs aggressiveness Results also demonstrate a significant dominance females although ratio closer 1:1 Overall, results highlighting need immediate hold dispersion mitigate possible impacts.

Technological advances have boosted the ability to obtain large and high-quality ecological data. These new technological tools potential rapidly develop knowledge on how species behave interact in ecosystems at relevant spatial temporal scales. Comprehensive time-series datasets situ behaviour dispersal of wild organisms are essential for addressing fundamental physiological questions regarding non-native freshwater species. In this review, we address biosensors, hereby defined as a tool electronic tagging tracking, can be useful assessing movement, internal states species, plus information about surrounding environment discuss possibilities future research. We performed systematic review available literature retrieved total 132 scientific studies (from 1996 2023) detailing 140 examples sensor use. Most used radio telemetry (40%; n = 53) followed by acoustic (34%; 45) PIT (20%; 26) study The taxonomic group most studied was fish (72%; 109), crustaceans (14%; 21) amphibians (5%; 8). addressed topics included assessment 101), physiology (10%; 14) management (9%; 12). As expected, number noticeably increased since 2006, with majority North America (55%; 73), Europe (30%; 40) Oceania (7%; 9). Information provided biosensors better understand dynamics impacts cryptic applied biological invasions. also directions concerning use (e.g. underwater internet systems, artificial intelligence, crittercams). Overall, these technologies provide unique field invasions development their limitations will increase amount reliability data gathered actions.
