Chrysodeixis chalcites has been recorded in agricultural lands in the Ontario peninsula in eastern Canada and in northern counties of Indiana, USA. Given the strong potential for C. chalcites to invade USA crop lands, it is important to identify environments most likely to sustain growing populations of this pest. Though C. chalcites is native to Europe and North Africa, it has invaded sub-Saharan Africa. Using occurrence data form the native and invaded ranges, and environmental predictors including bioclimatic conditions and human disturbance, we trained three ecological niche models to estimate an ensemble prediction of environmental suitability in the contiguous US. Because human impact is potentially a confounding predictor, models were trained both with and without it. High environmental suitability was projected for the Atlantic coast from New England to Florida, the Gulf coast, the lower Midwest, and the Pacific coast and Central Valley of California.","PeriodicalId":9202,"journal":{"name":"Biological Invasions","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141532135","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}

However, the strength and direction of these alterations have varied across studies. Additionally, the species reduces species richness in invaded communities, though the susceptibility of different plant communities to invasion remains unclear. To address these inconsistencies, we investigated invasion effects on soil properties and plant communities across various soil types, nitrogen and pH levels, and plant communities. Soil samples were collected from invaded and nearby uninvaded plots, with measurements taken for extractable nitrogen, pH, and moisture content. Plant species richness, diversity, Sorensen similarity, mean Ellenberg indicator values and some community mean plant traits were compared between invaded and uninvaded plots. Lastly, S. gigantea stand density and size in invaded plots were quantified. Solidago gigantea significantly altered soil extractable-N and pH, with the extent and direction of changes depending on initial soil conditions. Alterations were most pronounced in acid, N-poor soils. Species richness and diversity consistently decreased in invaded plots. However, this decline was not due to direct competition with native species but to the replacement of specialized, local plant communities with less diverse, fast growing generalist communities adapted to fertile habitats. Solidago gigantea acts as an invasive ecosystem engineer, modifying soil conditions after introduction. This not only facilitates its spread but also leads to lasting effects that can persist even after its removal. Further studies on other invasive species are needed to establish general patterns due to their varied effects on ecosystem properties.","PeriodicalId":9202,"journal":{"name":"Biological Invasions","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141532134","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}

Using a stratified sampling method, eight kebeles, which are Ethiopia’s small administrative divisions, were sampled. The data were collected from four land use types covering two agroecology. One-way ANOVA, Tukey’s HSD test, and an independent t-test were used to examine the differences between land use and agroecology respectively. The associations of density, biomass, fruit, and seed density with slope and elevation were assessed using simple linear regression, using R4.2.1 program software. The mean A. mexicana ha−1 s’ varied, significantly from 19,000 to 82,416 and 35,079 to 47,062, the aboveground dry biomass in kg m−2 was 0.032 to 1.59 and 0.1395 to 0.689, and the belowground dry biomass in kg m−2 was 0.048 to 0.506 and 0.0988 to 0.2408 between land use and agroecology respectively. The mean fruit per A. mexicana varied from 19 to 97 and 35 to 56, and seed per fruit of A. mexicana was 330 to 400 and 351 to 378 between land use and agroecology, respectively.

Island ecosystems that developed in isolation from mammals are particularly threatened by introduced mammalian predators. This is the case in New Zealand, where introduced mammalian predators have caused the decline of native birds, lizards, and invertebrates. In alpine areas of New Zealand, predator control targets stoats, rats, and cats as they are recognised as the key threats to native birds. Mice, which are known predators of invertebrates at lower elevations, are not actively controlled. As a result, alpine invertebrates in New Zealand represent an ideal focus for a natural experiment to understand the effects of predator control efforts and invasive mice on native invertebrates that evolved in isolation from mammals. In the Fiordland region of New Zealand, we assessed the large-bodied alpine invertebrate community at eight different sites that vary in their occurrence of mice and control of higher-order predators. We found that the recent presence of mice influenced the invertebrate community: wētā (a group of native orthopterans) were less common at sites where mice were present, and the mean body size of invertebrates collected in pitfall traps was larger at sites where mice were absent compared to sites where they were present. Control of other predators (specifically rats and mustelids) did not influence invertebrate body size, abundance, or community composition. Our findings suggest that, as in lowland environments, mice are an important predator of large-bodied invertebrates in the alpine zone and should be incorporated into future predator management programmes.","PeriodicalId":9202,"journal":{"name":"Biological Invasions","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141529040","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}

Given the sensitivity of island ecosystems to introduced species, data deficiencies on introduction pathways, patterns of establishment, and potential impacts of introduced species can hamper mitigation and conservation efforts on islands. The Caribbean region is emerging as a hotspot for introduced amphibian and reptile (herpetofaunal) species, but patterns associated with herpetofaunal introductions on specific islands are not well explored. Here, we perform a detailed investigation of Aruba, a small Caribbean island with an exceptionally high number of introduced herpetofaunal species. We compile a database from the literature of introduction pathways, introduction years, source locations, native ranges, establishment outcomes, habitat use, and ecological impacts for three newly documented species and the 12 previously documented introduced herpetofaunal species on Aruba. From this database we synthesize emergent introduction patterns on Aruba and highlight areas of data deficiency. Overall, the patterns on Aruba echo the patterns exhibited in the greater Caribbean region. Introduction rates on Aruba have been increasing exponentially, yet the introduction pathways and source locations of most species are unknown. Following introduction, most species successfully establish localized populations in anthropogenic habitat, but the ecological impacts of most species have not been well-assessed. We suggest increased monitoring of shipments will help identify potential pathways to slow the introduction of new species, and further studies of ecological impacts of introduced species are needed.","PeriodicalId":9202,"journal":{"name":"Biological Invasions","volume":"50 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141503838","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 study consolidates occurrence data of Eriotremex formosanus (Matsumura) (Hymenoptera: Siricidae), models its ecological niche, and analyzes spatial congruence with global Pinus L. occurrences to identify at-risk areas across continents. Through a combination of techniques utilizing distribution records and environmental predictor variables, the study predicts the E. formosanus ecological niche. The models show high accuracy with AUC values of 0.959 ± 0.023, TSS of 0.852 ± 0.048, and Jaccard coefficients of 0.865 ± 0.037. The findings reveal a widespread global suitability for E. formosanus, encompassing previously unreported regions in Papua New Guinea, South Korea, Europe, Africa, and Australasia, with notable suitability in the Americas and a well-established presence from Japan to India in Asia. South American regions from northern Guyana to western Venezuela and along the Brazilian Atlantic coast are particularly suitable. The identified suitable areas significantly overlap with Pinus occurrences, primarily in temperate zones, pinpointing potential regions at invasion risk. Additionally, we recorded for the first time the occurrence of E. formosanus in South America. Given the recent discovery of this species in Brazil, this overlap necessitates urgent attention to potential invasion regions and pathways. The study underscores the importance of focused sampling in potential distribution areas and highlights the utility of ecological niche modeling in predicting and managing the spread of invasive species.","PeriodicalId":9202,"journal":{"name":"Biological Invasions","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141528928","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}

We administered an online questionnaire to a sample of experts working on biological invasions in Italy. We collected 316 answers, both from conservation practitioners (26.6%) and researchers (73.4%), and we used structural equation modeling to test for the psychometric properties of the scale and compare attitude scores between groups. The scale showed both a good reliability (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.7), validity (CFI = 0.99, TLI = 0.99, SRMR = 0.03, RMSE = 0.02) and measurement invariance, when comparing researchers and practitioners, as well as when comparing respondents working on different invasive taxa. Both researchers and practitioners, as well as respondents of a different age, had similar attitudes about IAS and their management. Our study shows that this shortened version of PMA scale, a simple scale originally conceived to measure attitudes towards invasive alien mammals, could indeed be used to quantify the attitudes of experts towards IAS, even in countries where the public debate about biological invasions is much more recent than in New Zealand.

However, invasive plants are often more abundant in younger forest stands. It is difficult to disentangle possible mechanisms that would explain this pattern due to the scarcity of long-term studies in successional forests. Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain patterns of invasions as forests age, including biotic resistance, window of opportunity, historical legacies, and invasion debt. We explored patterns and potential mechanisms of plant invasions over 70 years in a regenerating forest with different land-use histories in the Bolleswood Natural Area, Connecticut, USA. We examined how environmental factors related to colonization patterns of invasive and non-invasive introduced species over time, and whether these patterns were consistent with the proposed mechanisms. Non-invasive introduced species declined rapidly with canopy closure, while many invasive plants persisted or even increased over time as the forest aged. Colonization was focused in younger post-agricultural areas, although this declined with time. Dispersal distance, soil conditions, and land-use history played important roles in patterns of colonization, while the effect of shading was less clear. There was some evidence for each mechanism, but the relative importance of each mechanism was species-dependent, making generalizations about how invasive plants invade forests difficult. We found that land-use history impacted invasion more strongly than forest age, but over time even mature forests were slowly being invaded by some species. Thus, invasive species management may be required even in mature forests.","PeriodicalId":9202,"journal":{"name":"Biological Invasions","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141532138","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}

The impacts of invasive prey species on native prey can be difficult to observe if the latter migrate seasonally, and when the interaction is indirect. We hypothesize that invasive lagomorphs and snow dynamics indirectly drive predation risk for guanaco by puma. We employed camera-trapping data collected over multiple years and seasons in an altitudinal gradient in the Andes of Central Chile. We predicted a high spatial and temporal association between puma and lagomorph detections, given these prey species comprise most of puma diet in the area. We also expected a higher spatiotemporal association between guanaco and puma detections towards higher snow cover in the study area, because of downward altitudinal migration of the ungulate. We obtained 4863 mammalian detections. Our data shows that the detection of puma was positively associated with hare capture rate year-round. In addition, puma detection was positively associated with the interaction of snow cover and guanaco capture rate. Puma temporal activity strongly overlapped with hare, whereas puma apparently increased diurnal activity with an increase in guanaco capture rate. Predation risk for guanaco increased when snow cover was higher and decreased when guanaco migrated to higher altitudes during dryer months. We conclude it is of conservation concern that lagomorphs may be subsidizing pumas and modifying patterns of consumptive and non-consumptive effects of the predator on native prey populations.","PeriodicalId":9202,"journal":{"name":"Biological Invasions","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141529041","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}
