In particular, understanding how physical factors can influence distributional patterns of benthic communities along artificial structures built in ports that create possibilities for a variety of non-indigenous species (NIS) occur. This paper aims to compare the distribution of mollusc’s assemblage along environmental factors known to influence the distribution of epibenthic species: depth, shading and locality features such as distance from shore and period of submersion of artificial structures. Molluscan assemblages were examined over a depth gradient extending from middle intertidal (0 m) to shallow subtidal (5 m). We also assessed and compared the distribution of Eualetes tulipa (established) and Isognomon bicolor (invasive) in two port locations at Northeast coast of Brazil. A total of 33 native species, 7 cryptogenic and two NIS were found. The most abundant was a native species, Crassostrea brasiliana , followed by the NIS I. bicolor and E. tulipa, respectively. Using PERMANOVA: depth gradient, locality and interaction between these fixed factors showed significant effects on the vertical distribution along the artificial structures sampled. Results suggest that recent substrata availability supports the colonization of NIS species and that these, in areas with more stable communities, cohabit with and are regulated by native species. Furthermore, this is the first study discussing the distribution of the established NIS vermetid E. tulipa in Northeast Brazilian coast.","PeriodicalId":8119,"journal":{"name":"Aquatic Invasions","volume":"55 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90692028","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These species strongly impact aquatic ecosystems, such as the food web through their high abundance and filtration rate. They spread quickly within and between waterbodies, and have the ability to colonize various substrates and depths. The zebra mussel invaded and established in Swiss lakes in the 1960s, whereas the quagga mussel was not detected until 2014. We collected all available data from cantonal as well as local authorities and other institutions to describe the colonization pattern of quagga mussels in perialpine lakes north of the Alps. We also collected data regarding the distribution of larval stages of the mussels, the so-called veliger larvae. We observed that in lakes colonized by the quagga mussel, veligers are present the whole year round, whereas they are absent in winter in lakes with only zebra mussels. Additionally, we present detailed information about the invasion and colonization pattern of quagga mussels in Lake Constance. Quagga mussels colonized the lakeshore within a few years (~ 2016–2018), outcompeted zebra mussels, and have reached densities > 5000 ind. m -2 in the littoral zone, even at 80 m densities above 1000 ind. m -2 were found at some locations. At the end of the article, we discussed possibilities on how the spread of quagga mussels within and among northern perialpine lakes should be monitored and prevented in the future.","PeriodicalId":8119,"journal":{"name":"Aquatic Invasions","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81659653","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

According to assumptions based on ecological niche models, the conservatism and equilibrium of species with the environment are vital to understanding the bioinvasion process. However, these assumptions have been evaluated primarily for terrestrial species, with few examples in marine environments. We tested the niche conservatism and niche shift hypotheses in native and invaded environments and evaluated the niche dynamics and invasion stages on three invasive marine species: the algae Asparagopsis armata and Codium fragile , and the ascidian Asterocarpa humilis . We applied the identity and background similarity tests to assess the conservatism, the principal component analysis to evaluate the niche dynamics, the Gallien et al. approach to evaluate the invasion stages, and an ensemble of model to estimate potential distribution. Findings showed that the niche equivalence hypothesis was not rejected for any of the species, indicating equivalent ecological niches. Niche similarity demonstrated that niches in native and invaded ranges were not similar as expected by chance for A. humilis and C. fragile . However, for A. armata , the populations in the native and invaded areas had a very similar environmental niche. In addition, high niche stability is evident in the niche dynamics, and so as the stabilization phase of the invasion phases of the three species; thus, studying the three species supported the hypothesis of niche conservatism. These results indicated that all three species have dispersed and are in biogeographic equilibrium within their invaded regions.","PeriodicalId":8119,"journal":{"name":"Aquatic Invasions","volume":"45 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79487475","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This monitoring program also provides information on the distribution of invasive Ponto-Caspian gobies along the Neckar River in Germany, a tributary of the Rhine River. The western tubenose goby Proterorhinus semilunaris was first recorded on the Neckar River in 2007, followed by bighead goby Ponticola kessleri and round goby Neogobius melanostomus in 2009 and 2012, respectively. The current distribution boundary for Ponto-Caspian gobies coincides with the navigation limit for cargo ships at the river port of Plochingen (about 200 km up-stream of the city of Mannheim). Marked differences in fish assemblages took place following invasion of the round goby, with average CPUE of native stone loach Barbatula barbatula and gudgeon Gobio gobio declining from 19.6 and 21.5 individuals per 100 m, respectively, to fewer than one. Bighead gobies failed to build up a stable stock after round goby invasion but have still been caught in small numbers at most sampling sections. The earlier-arriving western tubenose goby could not be detected any longer. The results indicate a strong impact of the round goby on native fish assemblages in the Neckar River which will hamper efforts to improve the ecological quality of the river. Further investigations are needed to assess long term effects of round goby invasion and find solutions for achieving the mandatory European Water Framework Directive (WFD) target of “good ecological status” of the river.","PeriodicalId":8119,"journal":{"name":"Aquatic Invasions","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90881659","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
