Non-native invasive species and novel ecosystems
Invasions by non-native species have caused many extinctions and greatly modified many ecosystems and are among the major anthropogenic global changes transforming the earth. Beginning in the mid-1980s, a dramatic burst of research in invasion biology has revealed a plethora of previously unrecognized impacts and laid bare the scope of the phenomenon. Similarly, research on various methods of m...
متن کاملThe Fish Invasiveness Screening Kit (FISK) for non-native freshwater fishes--a summary of current applications.
A major step forward in the screening of nonnative species came with the development of the weed risk assessment (WRA) of Pheloung et al.(1) for terrestrial plants of Australia and New Zealand. Based on the generally accepted premise that weeds in one part of the world will have an increased chance of being weedy (i.e., invasive) in other areas with similar environmental conditions, the WRA’s q...
متن کاملInvasive crayfish and freshwater fishes of the world.
After habitat destruction, invasive alien species are the second leading cause of biodiversity loss, particularly in freshwater ecosystems. They also alter the structure and functioning of ecosystems, lead to biotic homogenisation, and eventually threaten human economies and health. This review aims to synthesise some of the existing information about the world distribution, vectors of spread, ...
متن کاملInvasive and non-invasive methods to investigate on the musculotendinous system in teleost fishes (e.g. pearlfish)
Aims The locomotory system of fishes is composed of muscles (=myomeres) and myosepta attaching along the vertebral column. Both systems are conflated to the so called musculotendinous system. A myoseptum separates subsequent blocks of muscles and is characterized by a complex 3D arrangement of specific anteriorly and posteriorly pointing cones projected into the musculature. In previous investi...
متن کاملSpeciation in Freshwater Fishes
The extraordinary species richness of teleost fishes has attracted much research on mechanisms and modes of speciation. We here review research on speciation in freshwater fish in light of speciation theory, and place this in a context of knowledge about broad-scale diversity patterns in freshwater fishes. We structure our review around the major axes of divergence during speciation in freshwat...
