Monitoring Biological Invasions in Freshwater Habitats
Biological invasions of freshwater habitats are due to the accidental or deliberate introduction of organisms associated to aquaculture, sports fishing, passive transport by vessels, ornamental uses and man-made canals and corridors. In European freshwater habitats, about 296 species of alien invertebrate, mostly crustaceans, and 136 species of alien fish have been introduced (Gherardi et al. 2...
متن کاملAre modern biological invasions an unprecedented form of global change?
The uniqueness of the current, global mass invasion by nonindigenous species has been challenged recently by researchers who argue that modern rates and consequences of nonindigenous species establishment are comparable to episodes in the geological past. Although there is a fossil record of species invasions occurring in waves after geographic barriers had been lifted, such episodic events dif...
متن کاملBiological invasions
Where do basal bodies come from? The basal body is considered to be a self-replicating organelle. In a process that is not yet completely understood, the daughter basal body is assembled adjacent and orthogonal to the mother organelle. Although this was long speculated to be a templated assembly process, it is likely that the mother basal body acts as the site where components required for asse...
متن کاملA proposed unified framework for biological invasions.
There has been a dramatic growth in research on biological invasions over the past 20 years, but a mature understanding of the field has been hampered because invasion biologists concerned with different taxa and different environments have largely adopted different model frameworks for the invasion process, resulting in a confusing range of concepts, terms and definitions. In this review, we p...
متن کاملEditorial: Global Change, Clonal Growth, and Biological Invasions by Plants
Global changes in climate, land use, nutrient availability, acidity, populations of harvested or undesired species, and concentrations of toxins are now widely evident. Their ecological and evolutionary consequences are likely to be great but are often hard to identify or anticipate because of the multiple interactions that shape most ecological systems. One potentially important set of interac...
