The Yangtze River is China’s essential ecological resource and a historically revered “mother river” intimately tied to her ancient civilization. In recent years, the river has faced escalating threats from non-native fish species introduced by anthropogenic activities, including prayer animal release, aquaculture escapes, deliberate pet abandonment. With low current population density, these exotic pose limited immediate risks. However, damage will be catastrophic in long run once they successfully establish large stable populations become invasive. To effectively address this challenge, comprehensive measures can applied, strengthening risk assessment, controlling reproduction transmission, suppressing new introductions, improving regulations policies, enhancing public education prevention awareness, multi-party cooperation. This study contributes insights into dynamics of invasive broader implications for freshwater ecosystem management reviewing knowledge.

ABSTRACT Aim Predictive models on invasive species spread can assist in identifying large‐scale invasion risk. Environmental resistance (ER) models, which predict based ecological similarity to already‐invaded communities, offer one approach. However, gaps remain understanding how different ER measurements perform across taxa and they be integrated with future global change. Here, we aim discern the primary drivers of by comparing then use best forecast dynamics. Location Eastern US. Taxa 1873 plants animals. Methods We developed measurements, including biotic similarities among native their phylogenetic assemblages, functional traits, abiotic climate, soil, human disturbances. obtained model for each evaluate potential extents; further predicted range shifts under climate Results Native plant provided proxy measure both Invasion hotspots were identified urban coastal areas, ranges current conditions extended from these neighboring areas. The most invasives was increase change, Arthropoda Tracheophyta generally expanding all taxa. that are expand have already occupied larger areas than whose contract. Main Conclusions These results highlight importance maintaining diverse communities control raise concern increased risk future. Our findings call more efforts monitoring near large cities, capacity early detection rapid response prevent spreading widely.
