Abstract Changes in temperature and precipitation patterns, along with extreme weather events, have altered natural habitats, contributing to species extinctions ecosystem fragmentation worldwide. Climate change can exacerbate disturbances trigger biological invasions that threaten native species. Here, we used ecological niche models predict the future distribution of five invasive earthworm (Amynthas corticis, Amynthas gracilis, Dichogaster bolaui, Polypheretima elongata, Pontoscolex corethrurus) within Doce River Basin (DRB), Brazil. We also assessed impact Fundão dam collapse on suitability changes using a vegetation index as proxy for forest cover. found that, despite being invasive, most are expected experience contractions suitable climate areas, losses reaching up 66% P. elongata. Only D. bolaui is predicted retain areas across entire study area all scenarios. The results indicated exacerbated reductions forested regions, post-collapse approximately 33% smaller than pre-collapse conditions. Nevertheless, southeastern portion DRB projected conditions species, indicating high potential this region. These findings highlight need targeted management strategies prevent dominance restore buffer against impacts control earthworms. Ecological restoration efforts, alongside integration environmental monitoring modeling, crucial mitigating biodiversity loss enhancing resilience invasion by alien earthworms face change.

Correct and timely identification of an invasive species during quarantine or at early stage invasion before establishment spread is critical for preventing biological invasions. However, taxonomic confusion potential earthworm caused by incorrect treatment reckless work has made it difficult to properly recognize threats.

Despite the large body of theory concerning multiple disturbances, relatively few attempts have been made to test theoretical assumptions how and if disturbances interact. Of particular importance is whether disturbance events are linked, as this can influence probability intensity ecological change. Disturbances linked when one event increases or decreases likelihood extent another. To end, we used two long-term, multi-disturbance experiments in northern Wisconsin determine earthworm invasion canopy gap creation white-tailed deer browsing. These three common influential within North American temperate forests, making any interactions among them particularly important understand. We expected both gaps favor invasive earthworms, species that live close on soil surface. However, found only partial support our hypotheses, exclosures decreased earthworms each experiment. Further, density increased most over time areas far from center with present. Deer primarily Aporrectodea Lumbricus species, while Dendrobaena species. Our findings show presence gap-creating which provides new insight theory, aboveground-belowground dynamics, forest management.
