1. Are botanical gardens a risk for zooplankton invasions?

Author:
Duggan, Ian C.; Duggan, Kathryn S.

Subject:
aesthetics; aquatic plants; botanical gardens; fauna; fish; introduced plants; invasive species; mortality; ponds; public gardens; risk; water; zooplankton; United Kingdom; United States
Abstract:
... A number of zooplankton invasions have been linked with the movement of plants to botanical and other public gardens. Although most of these records are historical, several recent examples indicate that aquatic fauna may still be transported by plant movements among gardens, or that there are unrecognised long-standing established populations in garden ponds around the world. We sampled 40 ponds f ...

Abstract:
... Abiotic factors are important regulators of biological invasion and a recent study in Lake Tahoe (CA/NV, USA) showed that ultraviolet radiation (UV) can play a role in mediating warmwater fish invasion. In this study we highlight field and laboratory experiments that indicate strong species related differences in UV-induced stress between native and non-native fish species inhabiting the nearshore ...

3. Genetic control of invasive fish: technological options and its role in integrated pest management

Author:
Thresher, Ronald E.; Hayes, Keith; Bax, Nicholas J.; Teem, John; Benfey, Tillmann J.; Gould, Fred

Subject:
biological control; fish; genes; genetic techniques and protocols; insect pests; integrated pest management; invasive species; issues and policy; males; models; sterile insect technique; triploidy; United States
Abstract:
... Genetic options for the control of invasive fishes were recently reviewed and synthesized at a 2010 international symposium, held in Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN, USA. The only option currently available “off-the-shelf” is triploidy, which can be used to produce sterile males for a release program analogous to those widely and successfully used for biological control of insect pests. However, the Troj ...

Abstract:
... Chinese tallow (Triadica sebifera, also known as Sapium sebiferum) is an important oil seed crop in its native China but has become a noxious invasive species in USA. This review covers 601 publications since 1946. To date, grape (var. conferticarpa), chicken claw (var. laxiarpa), long claw, and mixed types are recognized within the species with 77 compounds isolated from various tissues. Some of ...

5. Relative roles of natural and anthropogenic drivers of watershed invasibility in riverine ecosystems

Author:
Lapointe, Nicolas W. R.; Thorson, James T.; Angermeier, Paul L.
Source:

Subject:
anthropogenic activities; climate; environmental factors; fish; geographical variation; habitats; introduced species; invasive species; lentic systems; lotic systems; observational studies; species diversity; watersheds; Mid-Atlantic region; United States
Abstract:
... Observational studies of patterns of species invasions provide important insights into invasion processes at large spatial scales, leading to improved and focused efforts to prevent invasions. Nonnative species richness (NNSR), a common measure of ecosystem invasibility, varies widely among systems and is regulated by human activity and ecosystem characteristics such as habitat heterogeneity and c ...

6. Species Richness and Patterns of Invasion in Plants, Birds, and Fishes in the United States

Abstract:
... We quantified broad-scale patterns of species richness and species density (mean # species/km2) for native and non-indigenous plants, birds, and fishes in the continental USA and Hawaii. We hypothesized that the species density of native and non-indigenous taxa would generally decrease in northern latitudes and higher elevations following declines in potential evapotranspiration, mean temperature ...

7. U.S. regulatory framework for genetic biocontrol of invasive fish

Abstract:
... This paper provides an overview of the U.S. regulatory framework governing genetic biocontrol efforts for invasive fish. Genetic biocontrol refers to the intentional release of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) into the environment to control a target population of a non-native species. The terms “genetically modified” and “genetically engineered” are often used interchangeably, despite the sc ...
