Global ecological impacts of invasive species in aquatic ecosystems.
The introduction of invasive species, which often differ functionally from the components of the recipient community, generates ecological impacts that propagate along the food web. This review aims to determine how consistent the impacts of aquatic invasions are across taxa and habitats. To that end, we present a global meta-analysis from 151 publications (733 cases), covering a wide range of ...
متن کاملDo ecological flows benefit exotic species ?
Rivers are among the ecosystems that have been most damaged by human pressure, especially in European countries where most streams are regulated. An important instrument to mitigate such impacts is to provide adequate ecological flows, which allows for the preservation of fish populations. Nowadays, many rivers are invaded by exotic species that, being more opportunistic and tolerant, are chang...
متن کاملBiological and ecological traits of marine species
This paper reviews the utility and availability of biological and ecological traits for marine species so as to prioritise the development of a world database on marine species traits. In addition, the 'status' of species for conservation, that is, whether they are introduced or invasive, of fishery or aquaculture interest, harmful, or used as an ecological indicator, were reviewed because thes...
متن کاملEcological determinants of parasite acquisition by exotic fish species
Disease-mediated threats posed by exotic species to native counterparts are not limited to introduced parasites alone, since exotic hosts frequently acquire native parasites with possible consequences for infection patterns in native hosts. Several biological and geographical factors are thought to explain both the richness of parasites in native hosts, and the invasion success of free-living e...
متن کاملThe Magnitude of Global Marine Species Diversity
BACKGROUND The question of how many marine species exist is important because it provides a metric for how much we do and do not know about life in the oceans. We have compiled the first register of the marine species of the world and used this baseline to estimate how many more species, partitioned among all major eukaryotic groups, may be discovered. RESULTS There are ∼226,000 eukaryotic ma...
