Biological invasions are increasingly recognised as a major global change that erodes ecosystems, societal well-being, and economies. However, comprehensive analyses of their economic ramifications missing for most national economies, despite rapidly escalating costs globally. Türkiye is highly vulnerable to biological owing its extensive transport network trade connections well unique transcontinental position at the interface Europe Asia. This study presents first analysis reported caused by in Türkiye. The InvaCost database which compiles invasive non-native species' monetary was used, complemented with cost searches specific Türkiye, describe spatial taxonomic attributes costly species, types costs, temporal trends. total attributed species (from 202 reporting documents) amounted US$ 4.1 billion from 1960 2022. data were only available 87 out 872 (10%) known Costs biased towards few hyper-costly taxa, such jellyfish, stink bugs, locusts. Among impacted sectors, agriculture bore highest cost, reaching 2.85 billion, followed fishery sector 1.20 billion. Management (i.e., control eradication) were, against expectations, substantially higher than damage (US$ 2.89 vs. 28.4 million). Yearly incurred rose exponentially over time, 504 million per year 2020-2022 predicted increase further next 10 years. A large deficit records compared other countries also shown, suggesting larger underestimate typically observed. These findings underscore need improved recording preventative management strategies reduce future post-invasion help inform decisions manage burdens posed species. insights emphasise crucial role standardised accurately estimating associated prioritisation communication purposes.

The 50-year history of anglers' record catches of genus Carassius: circumstantial evidence of wiping out the native species by invasive conspecific

Successful invasive non-native fish species can cause enormous damage to native biodiversity. In mainland Europe, the introduction of gibel carp ( Carassius gibelio ) has led a decline in populations formerly widespread crucian C. carassius ). Both and develop two phenotypes, namely stunted deep-bodied, which depend on intensity competition predation water body.

Nativeness is a binary concept —Invasiveness and its management are not

Biological Conservation, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 294, P. 110631 - 110631

Published: May 9, 2024

In interdisciplinary fields such as biodiversity conservation or invasion science —where multiple perspectives from diverse disciplines often need to converge for effective environmental management, it is crucial minimise terminological confusion in order understand and transmit concepts accurately. The diversity of can exert a substantial influence on defining key terms those fields, potentially resulting confusion. A lively topic within concerns the definitions nativeness, non-nativeness, invasiveness. While some academics dismiss nativeness concept because cannot be objectively defined, others advocate its categorization, third perspective posits binary term. Here we argue inherent nature even when our capacity observe challenging. Nativeness (and consequently, non-nativeness) an intrinsic property species (i.e. set populations species) place, which should remain central piece information ecosystem restoration. contrast, invasiveness, relies quantitative metrics (including abundance, spread, impacts), not defined terms. This underscores importance offering diverse, context-specific management strategies deal with it. We illustrate consistency nativeness' rely options address different scenarios example freshwater crayfish Iberian Peninsula.

ABSTRACT The introduction of non‐native species is a major driver biodiversity loss, posing growing threat to the health and functioning freshwater ecosystems globally. In recent decades, pet trade aquarophilia have become lucrative industries, accelerating spread new fishes. This includes several Asian loach that recently been detected outside their native range, such as in Europe, United States Australia. Here, we examine potential large‐scale Paramisgurnus dabryanus dojo weatherloach Misgurnus anguillicaudatus establish address impacts on threatened European weatherfish fossilis . We used distribution models (SDM) estimate global environmental suitability for both identified key variables determining current distributions. Our results indicate could globally invasive, with M. appearing more capable larger range expansions compared P.

Phytosanitary threats can pose substantial risks to global agriculture and ecological systems, affecting biodiversity, human well-being, food security. Meanwhile, warming is projected exacerbate these in the future. One Europe already widely distributed potential phytosanitary threat that may benefit from house cricket Acheta domesticus. This study explored of A. domesticus as a relevant non-native under changing climatic conditions by conducting series functional response experiments across temperature gradient (20, 25, 30 °C). exhibited comparable patterns seed consumption responses. Seed type (millet seeds, wheat grains) increase influenced damage inflicted on with softer smaller seeds being more susceptible damage, further amplified warmer temperatures. The study's outcomes underline pose. Considering species' established presence adaptable nature urban environments exacerbates for transition rural agricultural areas.

From caves to continents: phylogeography and niche shift of an invasive subterranean spider

Published: March 1, 2024

Invasive non-native species are recognized as a serious threat to the native biodiversity of areas they colonize. The subterranean spider Howaia mogera (Yaginuma 1972) (syn. Nesticella ) is considered highly invasive rapidly expanding its geographical range from Asia across European continent and remote oceanic islands. Due preference for moist, dark, climatically stable habitats, including caves, this represents potential endemic fauna living in forest litter environments. Nevertheless, origin, biogeography, patterns colonization, niche H. remain unexplored. In study, we reconstructed phylogeography combining multi-locus phylogenetic analysis modeling approach. Our results confirm center origin southern China, where naturally spread diversified eastern during Pleistocene Epoch. Its expansion into occurred only recently, possibly consequence human-mediated passive transportation conjunction with shift habitat species. Non-native populations have shifted an original lifestyle more generalist conditions. This change has allowed them exploit wider breadth habitats facilitated their Europe Yet, retention preferences these poses conservation specialized fragile ecosystems, which can efficiently invaded areas. study underscores importance comprehending dynamics predict manage future expansions.

Fish fifteen from up downstream Paraíba do Sul river basin were evaluated. Habitat was more important than species, after controlling influence reservoir features. Local drivers crucial occurrence species which thrived absence complex habitats. Macrophytes seemed play two key but quite antagonistic roles They positively related small characids, probably acting as shelter against predation, they also hypoxic conditions eutrophic reservoirs. These findings stress importance preserving restoring physically habitats beneficial providing grounds feeding (catfishes on leaves) recruitment (juveniles characids macrophytes banks).
