🐟 A twenty-year study of Croatia's Krka River has revealed a dramatic shift in its fish community, with native species once dominant giving way to non-native ones between 2004 and 2024. 👉 Learn more: doi.org/10.3897/neobiota.108.188169

The invasive stink #bug Erthesina fullo has spread to Europe with few natural enemies. A new study finds native parasitoid wasps in Albania and Greece are starting to attack its eggs, alongside the Asian wasp See more: doi.org/10.3897/neob...

🔥🌱Fire-adapted invaders like Hakea decurrens can trigger a dangerous feedback loop: fire helps them spread, and their spread fuels more fire. A new study tests Slash & Burn treatments in Mediterranean ecosystems, finding combined slashing and burning best curbs seedling establishment ⤵️

Slash and burn treatments effectively reduce post-fire recruitment of the invasive shrub Hakea decurrens

Invasion of native Mediterranean vegetation by fire-adapted plant species may create a feedback loop where fire facilitates the invasion process which, in turn, increases fire hazard due to fuel accum...

Assessing 20 widely spread non-native #fish species using ICAT tools, researchers found detrimental #environmental impacts dominate both globally and in India, especially declines in native #macrophytes. Severity didn't vary by transfer type, location, or detection method: doi.org/10.3897/neob...

Moving #plants around the world moves the #insects with them. Native soapberry bugs in Australia & South Africa are expanding their ranges hundreds to 1,000+ km by feeding on introduced host plants, even hybridizing with non-native relatives: doi.org/10.3897/neob...

Human-mediated plant dispersal changes insect distributions with potentially important evolutionary implications

Human introductions of plant species often lead to secondary invasions by non-native insects or range expansions of native ones. For instance, native insects may undergo extralimital spread when they ...

🦞 Invasive marbled #crayfish have been shown to thrive as flexible omnivores in semi-arid Middle Eastern streams, with stable isotope analysis revealing an intermediate trophic position that peaks during summer. Full study: doi.org/10.3897/neobiota.108.183096

🌹 The ecosystem impacts of invasive Rosa rugosa shrubs on Baltic grey dunes have been investigated, revealing how their natural ageing process reinforces a permanent successional shift in vegetation: doi.org/10.3897/neobiota.108.181357

🦀 The feeding habits and population-level impacts of two widespread invasive species in Spain's Lower Ebro River have been quantified using semi-natural enclosure experiments. Full study: doi.org/10.3897/neobiota.108.190226 @pablodeolavide.upo.es @ipe-csic.bsky.social
