Abstract

Globalization has facilitated the introduction and establishment of organisms beyond their natural ranges, leading to significant ecological and economic consequences. While many non-native species are well documented, others remain understudied, either due to their unknown impact or morphological similarities with native species. This study addresses such a case, focusing on synanthropic cockroaches within the order Blattodea. Despite the order's diversity, less than 1% of known species are recorded in urban environments. While certain species like Periplaneta americana, Blatta orientalis and Blattella germanica are well distributed and studied, others remain largely unknown. This research unveils the first established population of Nauphoeta cinerea in Europe, specifically in Spain (Asturias, northern Iberian Peninsula), with specific genetic and morphological confirmation. This study also explores potential pathways of introduction for N. cinerea. Long-distance transport by ships or escape/release from captivity are proposed as potential pathways for the newly established populations in Asturias. The species' high fecundity and parthenogenetic reproduction raise concerns about its potential invasiveness. Additionally, this study includes unpublished data on various synanthropic cockroaches in Asturias (with the first records of P. lateralis and Supella longipalpa for this area), drawn from specimens deposited in biological collections and some extra collections. An identification key for all Spanish non-native synanthropic cockroach species is provided to assist in future detections. This research emphasizes the imperative need for robust monitoring systems, highlights the scarcity of scientific information regarding synanthropic cockroach distribution and underscores the pivotal role of biological collections in advancing our understanding of invasive species.

龙虾蜚蠊 Nauphoeta cinerea (Olivier, 1789) (昆虫纲:蜚蠊目)在欧洲的首次记录,以及关于伊比利亚半岛同类蜚蠊的评论
全球化促进了生物在其自然分布范围之外的引入和建立,导致了重大的生态和经济后果。虽然许多非本地物种都有详尽的记录,但还有一些物种仍未得到充分研究,原因是它们的影响未知,或与本地物种形态相似。本研究就是针对这种情况,重点研究蜚蠊目中的同类蜚蠊。尽管蜚蠊目种类繁多,但只有不到 1%的已知物种在城市环境中有记录。虽然某些物种,如美洲蜚蠊、东方蜚蠊和德国蜚蠊分布广泛,研究深入,但其他物种在很大程度上仍不为人所知。这项研究揭示了 Nauphoeta cinerea 在欧洲,特别是西班牙(伊比利亚半岛北部的阿斯图里亚斯)的首个固定种群,并进行了具体的遗传和形态学确认。这项研究还探讨了 N. cinerea 的潜在引入途径。通过船只长途运输或从人工饲养中逃逸/释放被认为是阿斯图里亚斯新建立种群的潜在途径。该物种的高繁殖力和孤雌生殖引起了人们对其潜在入侵性的担忧。此外,本研究还包括关于阿斯图里亚斯地区各种异体蟑螂的未发表数据(其中包括该地区首次记录到的 P. lateralis 和 Supella longipalpa),这些数据来自于生物收藏品和一些额外收藏品中的标本。研究还提供了西班牙所有非本地同类蟑螂物种的识别钥匙,以帮助今后的检测工作。这项研究强调了建立健全的监测系统的必要性,突出了有关异体蟑螂分布的科学信息的稀缺性,并强调了生物收集在促进我们了解入侵物种方面的关键作用。
