Alien species have been transported and traded by humans for many centuries. However, with the era of globalization, biological invasions reached notable magnitudes. Currently, introduction alien is one major threats to biodiversity ecosystem functioning. The North American crayfish Procambarus clarkii most widely introduced freshwater in world, especially due its high economic importance. It responsible great modifications invaded environments causing irreparable ecological damages. Its...
The implications of climate change for biological invasions are multifaceted and vary along the invasion process. Changes in vectors pathways likely to manifest changes transport routes destinations, together with altered transit times traffic volume. Ultimately, nature why, how, where biota transported introduced will pose biosecurity challenges. These challenges require increased human institutional capacity, as well proactive responses such improved early detection, adaptation present...
This study reports new records of Procambarus clarkiiGirard, 1852 in Southeastern Brazil and investigates its possible pathways introduction. The Brazilian crayfish pet trade was surveyed with regard to species' availability price, reporting persistence, even though illegal. An invasion risk analysis performed by applying a protocol developed specifically invasive freshwater invertebrates (FI-ISK). clarkii has confirmed occurrences from urban non-urban areas the state São Paulo, including...
Ocean systems are changing due to natural and anthropogenic processes. resource use is as coastal nations have emphasised the opportunity advance ocean activities foster economic growth food, energy, job security, facilitated by new technologies. The expansion diversification of ocean-dependent increase pressures on ocean. To ensure current future opportunities arising from activities, it critical prioritise sustainable development balancing bridging health, wealth, equitable distribution...
Economic and social benefits of ocean resource uses have motivated numerous nations, including South Africa, to turn their Exclusive Zones (EEZs) advance economic development initiatives.Such initiatives result in increasing spatially competitive pressures on systems, compromising ecosystem services market non-market benefits.It is critical prioritise sustainable any or blue economy advancement programmes (where the model most often parallels a terrestrial green economy, incorporate...
Biological invasions pose a major threat to biodiversity and significant investment is required prevent the introduction of alien species, contain introduced populations mitigate associated impacts. The implementation standardised long-term monitoring programmes enables early identification new tracking spread, assessment effectiveness management interventions, an understanding temporal spatial trends. Globally, fouling species are known cause economic losses through accumulation on vessel...
The Western Indian Ocean (WIO) is critical in supporting the social and economic development of nations it borders. To safeguard various opportunities provides, essential to adopt sustainable ocean models that balance wealth health. Such depend on evidence-based adaptative governance underpinned by holistic social, environmental indicators. accounts framework provides a standard accounting structure integrate information alignment with relevant international statistical standards such as...
Egg incubation on the female abdomen is parental care behavior observed in aeglids, which eggs are kept adhered to maternal pleopods and maintained, cleaned aerated. In A. platensis, egg attachment occurs with aid of pleopodal setae, twisted around their axis distal region, forming funiculus, glands, responsible for production adhesive substance that seems be involved fixation setae. Those glands acini formed by secretory cells arranged concentrically a central duct, giving them rosette...
The main mechanism of food triturating in decapods' foregut is the gastric mill and morphology its ossicles tooth can be related to habitat diet.The freshwater crayfish act mainly as omnivorous aquatic environments occupy a wide range habitats, being lake or stream-dwelling burrowers.The genus Parastacus endemic South America encompass 14 species which demonstrate burrowing behavior lesser greater extent.This study aims describe two verify if there are differences activities.Thus, we...
