“…Changes caused by other exotic molluscs on the trophic webs have been previously reported (Locke et al, 2014;Cattau et al, 2016;Zhang et al, 2019), including positive effects for terrestrial birds (Cattau et al, 2016). In fact, the facilitation of native species by trophic interactions with invasive species is not an unusual occurrence in the ecology of invasions (Rodriguez, 2006;Cattau et al, 2016).…”

Ecosystems provide benefits to humans, including provisioning, regulating, and cultural services. However, invasive species can threaten ecosystem well-functioning and services provided. One invasive species with such potential is the New Zealand mud snail (NZMS) Potamopyrgus antipodarum. The aims of this study are focused on the quantitative review of (1) the NZMS impacts on ecosystem properties and their direct links with ecosystem services, and (2) the ecosystem services that can be affected by the NZMS. The high density reached by this species in most of the invaded ecosystems and its highly competitive ability affect ecosystem structure and functioning. However, some facilitation processes on native species may result in an improvement of some services. The NZMS tends to positively affect cultural services (88% positive cases) but negatively to provisioning services (77% of cases). Regarding, regulating and maintenance services, the proportions of positive and negative effects were similar (45% vs 36%, respectively). Therefore, the NZMS is a species with numerous negative impacts on ecosystem services. However, ecosystem services related to health (e.g., dilution effect against parasites) and research (e.g., biomonitoring) are cultural services that the NZMS can improve. No economic assessment of the impacts of the NZMS is available in the literature.

“…The impacts on the abundances of non-extinct SC were investigated by calculating the relative abundance difference (RAD; Eq. 5) at each time step to describe increase/decrease in abundances with S. glanis compared to abundances without S. glanis similarly to Zhang et al (2019).…”

Combining food web theory and population dynamics to assess the impact of invasive species

The impacts of invasive species on resident communities are driven by a tangle of ecological interactions difficult to quantify empirically. Combining a niche model with a population dynamic model, both allometrically parametrized, may represent a consistent framework to investigate invasive species impacts on resident communities in a food web context when empirical data are scarce. We used this framework to assess the ecological consequences of an invasive apex predator (Silurus glanis) in peri-Alpine lake food webs. Both increases and decreases of resident species abundances were highlighted and differed when accounting for different S. glanis body sizes. Complementarily, the prominence of indirect effects, such as trophic cascades, suggested that common approaches may only capture a restricted fraction of invasion consequences through direct predation or competition. By leveraging widely available biodiversity data, our approach may provide relevant insights for a comprehensive assessment and management of invasive species impacts on aquatic ecosystems.

“…Within the Mississippi and Illinois River systems, they now comprise a large fraction of the total fish biomass, and have had significant negative effects on plankton and planktivorous fishes (Irons et al 2007;Pendleton et al 2017;Phelps et al 2017). Predictive risk assessment tools may inform prevention and management efforts by evaluating the potential establishment, spread, and ecosystem effects of BHC invasions to the Great Lakes (Davidson et al 2017;Zhang et al 2016Zhang et al , 2019. Specifically, these tools address questions about: (1) how likely are BHC to become established, 2what are the potential effects (negative or positive) of these species on the ecology of the Great Lakes, and 3what Great Lakes habitats are most susceptible to the establishment of BHC and their likely impacts.…”
