The previous record of <i>Sisymbriumirio</i> from Kyrgyzstan is rejected as based on a misidentified specimen of <i>S.loeselii</i>, but the species is newly recorded here as a recent casual alien. <i>Hirschfeldiaincana</i> is presumably native in south-western Turkmenistan; its second record in Central Asia was caused by the import of contaminated wheat grain in the times of the Soviet grain crisis and its recent expansion may be linked to the increasing import of forage grain. The introduction of <i>Crambeorientalis</i> was connected with its cultivation for fodder and as an ornamental plant and its further broad dispersal was aided by winds. <i>Rorippaaustriaca</i> is native in the steppes of north-western Kazakhstan, but alien in the mountains of Central Asia. The occurrences of three alien species originated directly from cultivation (<i>Hesperispycnotricha</i> as an ornamental, <i>Armoraciarusticana</i> as an edible plant, <i>Crambeorientalis</i> as an ornamental and fodder plant), three species (<i>Hirschfeldiaincana</i>, <i>Mutardaarvensis</i>, <i>Sisymbriumirio</i>) were imported as grain contaminants, whereas two others (<i>Rorippaaustriaca</i>, <i>R.sylvestris</i>) have arrived with contaminated soil on ornamental plants or arboreous saplings. The arrival period is inferred as the Neolithic period (<i>Mutardaarvensis</i>), the Imperial times (<i>Armoraciarusticana</i>, <i>Hesperispycnotricha</i>), the post-war Soviet times (<i>Crambeorientalis</i>, <i>Rorippaaustriaca</i>, <i>R.sylvestris</i>) and the independence times (<i>Hirschfeldiaincana</i>, <i>Sisymbriumirio</i>). All the treated species, but two, increase their frequency in Kyrgyzstan; <i>Mutardaarvensis</i> has already reached its complete distribution, being an ubiquitous weed, whereas <i>Armoraciarusticana</i> experiences a projected decline because its common cultivation has ceased.

The harmonisation process involved three key steps: 1) terminology and structure standardisation; 2) taxonomy updating and 3) georeferencing.

In small, fragmented populations, effects of genetic drift and inbreeding are enhanced, which can lead to increased population differentiation and genetic diversity loss. One formerly strongly degraded and fragmented stream system in a highly urbanised area is the Emscher catchment in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Major restoration efforts have led to an improvement of water and habitat quality over the past 20 years also in the formerly polluted tributaries, for example, the Boye catchment. However, the analysis of the population structure of two different amphipod and isopod species has revealed that some populations are still strongly isolated, indicating persisting gene flow barriers. In contrast, the effects are expected to be less pronounced in merolimnic species, which have an adult winged life stage, such as the alderfly <i>Sialislutaria</i> (Linnaeus, 1758) .
