Economic costs of invasive non-native species in urban areas: an underexplored ...
Heringer, Gustavo; Fernandez, Romina D.; Bang, Alok; Cordonnier, Marion; Novoa, Ana; Lenzner, Bernd; Capinha, César; Renault, David; Roiz, DavidUrbanization is an important driver of global change associated with a set of environmental modifications that affect the introduction and distribution of invasive non-native species (species with populations transported by humans beyond their natural biogeographic range that established and are spreading in their introduced range; hereafter, invasive species). These species are recognized as a cause of large e...
Long-term trends in crayfish invasions across European rivers
Soto, Ismael; Ahmed, Danish A.; Beidas, Ayah; Oficialdegui, Francisco J.; Tricarico, Elena; Angeler, David G.; Amatulli, Giuseppe; Briski, ElizabetaEurope has experienced a substantial increase in non-indigenous crayfish species (NICS) since the mid-20th century due to their extensive use in fisheries, aquaculture and, more recently, pet trade. Despite relatively long invasion histories of some NICS and negative impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, large spatio-temporal analyses of their occurrences are lacking. Here, we used a large freshwat...
A potential threat to amphibians in the European Natura 2000 network: Forecasti...
Johovica, Iva; Gama, Mafalda; Banha, Filipe; Tricarico, Elena; Anastácio, PedroFreshwater biodiversity is declining at an accelerated pace. Climate change and associated global warming and changes in precipitation patterns, combined with the expansion of generalist -invasive species are two of the main threats. Niche-based models (NBMs) are becoming inevitable tools in invasive species risk assessment and in conservation decision-making. Lithobates catesbeianus is an invasive species glob...

Consistency of impact assessment protocols for non-native species
González-Moreno, Pablo; Lazzaro, Lorenzo; Vilà, Montserrat; Preda, Cristina; Adriaens, Tim; Bacher, Sven; Brundu, Giuseppe; Copp, Gordon H.; Essl, FranzStandardized tools are needed to identify and prioritize the most harmful non-native species (NNS). A plethora of assessment protocols have been developed to evaluate the current and potential impacts of non-native species, but consistency among them has received limited attention. To estimate the consistency across impact assessment protocols, 89 specialists in biological invasions used 11 protocols to screen ...

The red swamp crayfish Procambarus clarkii in Europe: Impacts on aquatic ecosys...
Souty-Grosset, Catherine; Anastácio, Pedro Manuel; Aquiloni, Laura; Banha, Filipe; Choquer, Justine; Chucholl, Christoph; Tricarico, ElenaProcambarus clarkii is currently recorded from 16 European territories. On top of being a vector of crayfish plague, which is responsible for large-scale disappearance of native crayfish species, it causes severe impacts on diverse aquatic ecosystems, due to its rapid life cycle, dispersal capacities, burrowing activities and high population densities. The species has even been recently discovered in caves. Thi...
A new threat to groundwater ecosystems: first occurrences of the invasive crayf...
Mazza, Giuseppe; Reboleira, Ana Sofia P. S.; Gonçalves, Fernando; Aquiloni, Laura; Inghilesi, Alberto F.; Spigoli, Daniele; Stoch, Fabio; Taiti, StefanoThe American red swamp crayfish, Procambarus clarkii, is today the alien species most widespread in European water bodies. This invasive crayfish was found for the first time in some caves of Europe, specifically in Portugal and Italy. The presence of P. clarkii in caves is noteworthy, representing a new threat for the groundwater ecosystems due to the possible negative impacts on the native communities.
Effects of climate change, invasive species, and disease on the distribution of...
Capinha, César; Larson, Eric R.; Tricarico, Elena; Olden, Julian D.; Gherardi, FrancescaClimate change will require species to adapt to new conditions or follow preferred climates to higher latitudes or elevations, but many dispersal-limited freshwater species may be unable to move due to barriers imposed by watershed boundaries. In addition, invasive nonnative species may expand into new regions under future climate conditions and contribute to the decline of native species. We evaluated future d...
