Patterns of Biological Invasions in French Freshwater Systems by Non-Indigenous Macroinvertebrates

World-wide distribution of the Bryozoan Pectinatella magnifica (Leidy 1851)

“…In summary, apart from its occurrence in USA and Canada P. magnifica is recorded occurring in Western and Central Europe (France, Luxembourg, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic and Austria (Kraepelin 1887;Lacourt 1968;Rodriguez and Vergon 2002;Devin et al 2005;Bauer et al 2010;Balounová et al 2011), Romania (Lacourt 1968), Corsica (Notteghem 2009) and Asia Minor (Lacourt 1968).…”

Elevated CO2alters leaf-litter-derived dissolved organic carbon: effects on stream periphyton and crayfish feeding preference

“…To our knowledge, the utility of number or diversity of functional groups as responses to human alteration has rarely been investigated (but see Heino 2005). Devin et al (2005) considered the diversity (Shannon) of functional groups as a measure of functional diversity and recorded changes in the values of a functional diversity index in response to changing abundances of several exotic species. Second, measures of biological diversity that incorporate dissimilarities might be useful.…”

“…Furthermore, increasing geographical extent of the impact of human activities led to studies of nonpoint source effects associated with landuse intensity at the catchment scale (e.g., Allan et al 1997) and climate warming at a continental scale (e.g., Mouthon and Daufresne 2006). In addition, many human activities (e.g., aquaculture, cargo-ship traffic) facilitated dispersal of species beyond their natural ranges (reviewed in Kolar and Lodge 2001) and caused rising economic and ecological costs, which revived interest in the topic in freshwater research (e.g., Ricciardi and Rasmussen 1998, Clarke et al 2004, Devin et al 2005, Leprieur et al 2008.…”

“…Subsequently, the distribution of the species was reported by other researchers (Davenport 1904a;Wilcox 1906;Braem 1911). In addition to its occurrence in the USA and Canada, this species is also found in western and central Europe, including France, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Austria (Kraepelin 1887;Borodin 1928;Rodriguez & Vergon 2002;Devin et al 2005;Bauer et al 2010;Balounová et al 2011), Romania (Lacourt 1968), Corsica (Notteghem 2009), Japan (Mawatari 1973), and Korea (Seo 1998).…”
