“…They also may threaten global biodiversity by altering the structure and function of ecosystems and disrupting key biological interactions (Levine et al, 2003; Traveset and Richardson, 2006). The invasion of freshwater and marine ecosystems by non-native species of various taxonomic groups, mostly crustaceans, mussels, fish, and aquatic macrophytes is well documented (Meinesz et al, 2001; Richardson, 2011). The invasion of free-living microorganisms to new aquatic habitats is rather cryptic and difficult to detect therefore invasions of these “invisible invaders” have been rarely reported (Litchman, 2010).…”

Invasion of Nostocales (cyanobacteria) to Subtropical and Temperate Freshwater Lakes – Physiological, Regional, and Global Driving Forces

et al. 2012

Similar to the increased number of studies on invasive plants and animals in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, many reports were recently published on the invasion of Nostocales (cyanobacteria) to freshwater environments worldwide. Invasion and proliferation of Nostocales in new habitats have the potential to significantly alter the structure of the native community and to modify ecosystem functioning. But most importantly, they influence the water quality due to a variety of toxic compounds that some species produce. Therefore a special attention was given to the invasion and persistence of toxic cyanobacteria in many aquatic ecosystems. Here we summarize the currently published records on the invasion of two Nostocales genera, Cylindrospermopsis and Aphanizomenon, to lakes and water reservoirs in subtropical and temperate zones. These invading species possess traits thought to be common to many invasive organisms: high growth rate, high resource utilization efficiency and overall superior competitive abilities over native species when local conditions vary. Assuming that dispersion routes of cyanobacteria have not been changed much in recent decades, their recent establishment and proliferation in new habitats indicate changes in the environment under which they can exploit their physiological advantage over the native phytoplankton population. In many cases, global warming was identified as the major driving force for the invasion of Nostocales. Due to this uncontrollable trend, invasive Nostocales species are expected to maintain their presence in new habitats and further expand to new environments. In other cases, regional changes in nutrient loads and in biotic conditions were attributed to the invasion events.

“…We propose that effective monitoring and removal programs in marine systems would benefit from a basic understanding of the life characteristics of the invader regarding habitat use and dispersal mechanisms, which can be achieved in concert with rapid removal efforts where prevention is unsuccessful. For example, the spread of caulerpa (Caulerpa taxifolia, Caulerpaceae) in the Mediterranean (Meinesz et al, 2001) was largely the result of inaction by managing agencies while preliminary studies on biology and ecology were underway (Simberloff, 2003). In contrast, the successful eradication of C. taxifolia in southern California in 2005 was aided by prior knowledge gained from its Mediterranean invasion that provided insight into potential dispersal mechanisms and control methods, in addition to legislation passed to reduce the probability of future introductions into the state (Anderson, 2005).…”

Data quality and quantity for invasive species: A case study of the lionfishes

2019

Predicting invasion risk involves inherent uncertainty when data on biological and ecological characteristics are lacking. To combat data gaps, assessors are required to use information from secondary sources, further reducing predictive accuracy. Lionfish in the subfamily Pteroinae have invasion history in the Western Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea, raising concern that other species of globally traded lionfish may pose risks similar to the invasive complex comprised of the red lionfish (Pterois volitans, Scorpaenidae) and devil firefish (Pterois miles, Scorpaenidae). We conducted a standardized literature review of 18 species in the genera Pterois, Dendrochirus, and Parapterois to (a) characterize the volume and composition of literature addressing the invasive complex pre‐establishment and pre‐spread, and compare it to the body of literature that has been generated post‐spread and impact, (b) compare the volume and composition of literature addressing other members of Pteroinae to the invasive complex, and (c) evaluate data quality addressing the Pteroinae by characterizing literature used to generate biological profile reports during a risk screening protocol. Little data were available for the invasive complex prior to introduction and focused primarily on the composition or effects of venom. Following introduction, there was a considerable time lag in research effort. Post‐spread, research effort increased rapidly. We identify similar data deficiencies for other species of lionfish that have not been reported outside of their native ranges. While proactive management is gaining support as an effective framework, it is important to understand data limitations and their resulting uncertainties, which leads to more informed proactive management.

BackgroundA second species in the siphonous green algal genus Avrainvillea was recently discovered off the island of O‘ahu in the Main Hawaiian Islands. Specimens were collected from Honolulu Harbor, including its entrance channel, and near Ke‘ehi Harbor. These locations are both in Mālama Bay on O‘ahu’s south shore in or adjacent to urbanized estuaries, respectively. In situ observations, morphological and molecular assessments were conducted to examine the alga’s habit and distribution, as well as to assess its putative species identification.New informationThe alga occurred in sand as single individuals or in clusters of several individuals at both sites, and near or within seagrass beds (Halophila decipiens) and algal meadows composed of the green alga Halimeda kanaloana and an unidentified Udotea species at the Ke‘ehi Harbor site. All analyses supported both populations as representative of the same taxa, reported until further investigation in the broad Pacific as Avrainvillea cf. erecta based on morphological and molecular analyses. This record of a second Avrainvillea species in Hawai'i is of particular concern considering that an alga recognized as A. amadelpha, first observed in 1981 from two locales on O‘ahu’s south shore, has become invasive in Hawai‘i’s intertidal to mesophotic environments.
