Abstract Aim Analysing the spatio‐temporal patterns and dynamics of non‐native species is essential to understanding mechanisms underlying successful invasions developing effective management strategies. Yet, such analyses generally neglect influence receiving ecosystem types sources (i.e. alien species, non‐natives originating outside concerned region; translocated introduced locations their h...

Abstract: Aim We evaluated the longitudinal patterns in distribution of native and non-native fish species a hydrologically fragmented environmentally variable lowland temperate river. Methods Four sites representing contrasting habitat environmental conditions were sampled: clear water reservoir, turbid lagoon two river reaches with waters each. Environmental variables measured situ laboratory...

We define co-introduced parasites as those which have been transported with an alien host to a new locality, outside of their natural range, and co-invading parasites as those which have been co-introduced and then spread to new, native hosts. Of 98 published studies of co-introductions, over 50% of hosts were freshwater fishes and 49% of parasites were helminths. Although we would expect paras...

Management of non-native fish species is informed by monitoring their temporal and spatial distribution. There are few published analyses of temporal patterns of established non-native fish species. The objective of this study was to examine the utility of the American Fisheries Society’s (AFS) lists of fish names for quantifying trends in the number of established non-native fishes as a first ...

Bothriocephalus acheilognathi is an introduced tapeworm in North America often reported as a serious ecological threat to native fishes. In this paper, we report the first record of B. acheilognathi in the Big Bend region of the Rio Grande in Texas (known as the Río Bravo del Norte in Mexico). Identification of B. acheilognathi was confirmed by morphologic and genetic techniques (sequences of I...
