“…Climatic tolerance is facilitated by physiological, cellular, and biochemical mechanisms and species with broad physiological tolerance are generally the most successful invaders (e.g. Marchetti et al 2004;Kelley 2014) because they are more likely to be equipped for unpredictable Improving science-based invasive species environments. Environmental conditions are important components of species distribution models, which can be used to generate predictions about invasive species spread (Kearney and Porter 2009;Jiménez-Valverde et al 2011).…”

“…Conditions during transport may be stressful, selecting for resilient species or individuals (Paiva 2014). Some invasive species have been shown to exhibit less extreme physiological responses in stressful situations whereas species that are not invasive exhibit higher stress in unfamiliar situations (Liebl and Martin 2012;Kelley 2014). Correspondingly, animals that have less sensitive immune responses (e.g.…”

Biological invasions are a prominent factor contributing to global biodiversity loss. As a result, managing invasive species is a priority for many conservation scientists and natural resource managers. Invasive species management requires a multidisciplinary approach and there is increasing recognition that physiology can be used to inform conservation efforts because physiological processes underlie an individual's response to its environment. For example, physiological concepts and tools can be used to assess the impacts of invasive animals on their new ecosystems, to predict which animal species are likely to become invasive, to prevent the introduction of nonnative animals, and to control incipient or established invasions. To evaluate whether physiology is integrated within invasion science, the journal Biological Invasions was surveyed for a quantitative literature review. To determine how physiology is used to inform invasion science and which subdisciplines of physiology are particularly relevant to invasive animal management, the broader invasion literature was also reviewed to identify examples where physiology has contributed to studying and managing invasive animals. Only 6 % of articles published in Biological Invasions incorporated physiological knowledge or tools, mostly for the purposes of identifying traits associated with species invasiveness (i.e. prediction). However, the broader literature indicated that successful invasive species research and management can be supported by fundamental and applied physiological research for assessing, predicting, preventing, and controlling invasive animals. Development of new techniques and increased availability of equipment for remote or rapid monitoring of physiology in the field will increase opportunities for integrating physiology within invasion science.

“…Nonetheless, this northeastern Pacific population of C. maenas has site-specific organismal thermal tolerance thresholds and differential expression of several key proteins involved in the regulation of cellular thermotolerance (Kelley et al 2011(Kelley et al , 2013. Together, these organismal and cellular differences highlight the role that environmental temperature has played in driving the physiological variation in phenotype that currently exists across this recipient range (Kelley et al 2011;Kelley 2014).…”

Thermogeographic variation in body size of Carcinus maenas, the European green crab

et al. 2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

biogeographic differences in size (carapace width) exist for a recent invasion of the non-native European green crab, Carcinus maenas, along the west coast of North America. We assembled trapping and temperature data collected from 10 sites along the western North American coast over a 5-year period. We also conducted a literature review of C. maenas size across their native range. Our results indicate that adult body size shows negative correlation with environmental temperature in both the native and invaded ranges, conforming to the temperature-size rule for ectotherms. Given the short time since colonization and lack of evident genetic structure across the invasive range, it may be that phenotypic plasticity in response to environmental temperature is driving this relationship. Forces that shape the phenotypic trajectory of species may play an important role in both invasion dynamics and subsequent ecological impacts.

“…Identifying the thermal limits of aquatic invasive species is important for both managing and preventing their introduction, establishment, and spread (Rahel and Olden 2008, Gallardo and Aldridge 2013, Kelley 2014. Once identifi ed, the upper and lower thermal tolerance temperatures can be used to inform the development and refi nement of invasive species distribution models (Uden et al 2015), which can be used to explain variability and predict changes in invasive species' geographic distributions.…”
