“…In many regions, it has a narrow latitudinal range (e.g., Argentina and South Africa, Australia, and Japan; Appendix S1). Carcinus maenas can achieve high abundances and have strong effects as a predator on benthic invertebrates (Grosholz et al, 2000;de Rivera et al, 2011) and has been designated as an aquatic nuisance species in the United States (Grosholz & Ruiz, 2002).…”

Aim High-latitude regions host many fewer non-native species than temperate ones. The low invasion loads of these colder regions may change with increases in human-mediated propagule supply. We test the hypothesis that colonization by non-native species that have already invaded temperate shorelines would be precluded by environmental conditions if they were introduced to Alaska and other high-latitude regions by shipping or other vectors.Location Pacific coast of North America as well as coastal oceans world-wide.Methods Using 16 habitat descriptors in ecological niche models, we characterized the conditions throughout the native and introduced distributions of four marine species (Amphibalanus improvisus, Carcinus maenas, Littorina saxatilis and Styela clava) that have invaded multiple global regions to test the extent to which suitable conditions for these species exist in Alaska and other high-latitude regions under current and predicted future climate scenarios.Results Models projected environmental match for all four species in many areas beyond their present range limits, suggesting that Alaska and other high-latitude shorelines are currently vulnerable to invasion by non-native species that occur in lower latitudes.Main conclusions Given current and possibly increasing human-mediated species transfers and suitable environmental conditions that exist now and with projected warming, policy and management efforts are urgently needed to minimize invasion opportunities at high latitudes.

“…As an invasive species, C. maenas has altered coastal and estuarine communities (de Rivera et al, 2011;Grosholz, 2005;Grosholz and Ruiz, 1995;Grosholz et al, 2000;Kimbro et al, 2009). The expansion of this species has made it available to investigators outside of northern Europe and eastern North America.…”

“…On the west coast of the USA, C. maenas ,were observed in Bodega Bay, California in 1993 and now the harbor sustains a resident population (de Rivera et al, 2011;Grosholz and Ruiz, 1995). Genetic analysis indicates that the populations at Bodega Bay and other western North American coastal locations are derived from a small number of individuals introduced to San Francisco Bay, California, from the east coast of North America (Darling et al, 2008;Grosholz and Ruiz, 1995;Tepolt et al, 2009).…”

There was no effect of ESA or MLA on the expression of Cm-elongation factor 2 (EF2), Cm-NOS, the beta subunit of GC-I (Cm-GC-Iβ), a membrane receptor GC (Cm-GC-II) and a soluble NO-insensitive GC (Cm-GC-III) in green morphs. Red morphs were affected by prolonged ESA and MLA treatments, as indicated by large decreases in Cm-EF2, Cm-GC-II and Cm-GC-III mRNA levels. ESA accelerated the transition of green morphs to the red phenotype in intermolt animals. ESA delayed molting in premolt green morphs, whereas intact and MLA animals molted by 30 days post treatment. There were significant effects on YO gene expression in intact animals: Cm-GC-Iβ mRNA increased during premolt and Cm-GC-III mRNA decreased during premolt and increased during postmolt. Cm-MIH transcripts were detected in eyestalk ganglia, the brain and the thoracic ganglion from green intermolt animals, suggesing that MIH in the brain and thoracic ganglion prevents molt induction in green ESA animals.

“…It is believed that, like D. lumholtzi, other non‐native aquatic species with similar environmental requirements could benefit from effects caused by climate change and become a potential threat to basins with high susceptibility to invasion. Thus, predicting areas with a higher probability of invasion by non‐native species is essential for the development of effective management strategies (de Rivera et al., 2011; Ware et al, 2016). This type of assessment can provide valuable information about where and how to monitor the species of interest.…”

A global analysis of the susceptibility of river basins to invasion of a freshwater zooplankton (Daphnia lumholtzi)

Climate change and species invasions pose serious threats to biodiversity. Daphnia lumholtzi Sars, 1885, a cladoceran species native to Africa, Asia, and Oceania, has successfully invaded large sections of North and South America, there is evidence that the increase in the Earth's temperature and the number of reservoirs have facilitated this process. In this context, our study evaluated the effects of climate change on the invasive potential of D. lumholtzi, identifying the environmental suitability of non‐native river basins around the world to invasion by this species. Using ecological niche modelling, we predicted potential distribution areas of D. lumholtzi in non‐native continents at the present time, in 2050 and 2080. For future scenarios we considered two hypotheses of greenhouse gas emission: extreme (8.5 representative concentration pathways) and moderate (4.5 representative concentration pathways). We used different algorithms in niche models within the ensemble forecast approach to estimate the potential distribution of D. lumholtzi river basins worldwide. Furthermore, we developed a susceptibility index, that uses the presence of D. lumholtzi, its suitability information, area, and number of reservoirs to evaluate the susceptibility to invasion for each river basin. Our predictions showed that future climate change will have a strong influence on the invasive potential of D. lumholzti, potentially expanding its distribution in eastern North America and boosting invasion across Europe, especially at the end of the century. The susceptibility index also showed that many river basins that presently are not vulnerable to invasion by this species will become susceptible to invasion, these basins lie mainly in Europe. Our results will be useful for monitoring and mitigating the spread of this species, especially for river basins identified as highly susceptible to invasion. Thus, we suggested that D. lumholtzi should be a high priority for monitoring and preventive actions against invasion of these river basins. We also suggest that better risk assessments, that include invasive species and reservoirs, should be a priority in national energy development plans.
