The threat posed by invasive non-native species worldwide requires a global approach to identify which introduced are likely pose an elevated risk of impact native and ecosystems. To inform policy, stakeholders management decisions on threats aquatic ecosystems, 195 assessors representing 120 assessment areas across all six inhabited continents screened 819 from 15 groups organisms (freshwater, brackish, marine plants animals) using the Aquatic Species Invasiveness Screening Kit. This...
Globally, lake surface water temperatures have warmed rapidly relative to air temperatures, but changes in deepwater and vertical thermal structure are still largely unknown. We compiled the most comprehensive data set date of long-term (1970-2009) summertime temperature profiles lakes across world examine trends drivers whole-lake structure. found significant increases at an average rate + 0.37 °C decade-1, comparable reported previously for other lakes, similarly consistent increasing...
Abstract Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a severe threat to global health. The wide distribution of environmental antibiotic genes (ARGs), which can be transferred between microbiota, especially clinical pathogens and human commensals, contributed significantly AMR. However, few databases on the spatiotemporal distribution, abundance, health risk ARGs from multiple environments have been developed, absolute level. In this study, we compiled ARG occurrence data generated by...
Abstract Dreissenid mussels (including the zebra mussel Dreissena polymorpha and quagga D. rostriformis ) are among world's most notorious invasive species, with large widespread ecological economic effects. However, their long‐term population dynamics poorly known, even though these critical to determining impacts effective management. We gathered analyzed 67 (>10 yr) data sets on dreissenid populations from lakes rivers across Europe North America. addressed five questions: (1) How do...
As of the end 2008, 25 species non-native fishes have been documented in Republic Belarus. Of these, 17 (68%) were deliberately introduced for aquaculture, six (24%) invaded from adjacent territories by natural dispersal, and two (8%) likely accidentally. During 20th century, number Belarus increased exponentially, resulting significant shifts taxonomic composition country's ichthyofauna. For first time, we assessed invasive potential applying a uniform protocol, Fish Invasiveness Screening...
Abstract The impacts of species invasions can subside over time as ecosystems ‘adapt’ and invaders decline or increase additional invade. character timescales invasion provide important insights into ecosystem dynamics management. Yet long-term studies remain rare often confound invasive with coincident environmental change. One way to address this challenge is ask: what ecological changes since are recapitulated in that span a range conditions, located different regions, were invaded...
Climate change and other anthropogenic stressors have led to long-term changes in the thermal structure, including surface temperatures, deepwater vertical gradients, many lakes around world. Though studies highlight warming of water temperatures worldwide, less is known about trends full structure which been changing consistently both direction magnitude. Here, we present a globally-expansive data set summertime in-situ temperature profiles from 153 lakes, with one time series beginning as...
Naroch lakes present a system of three interconnected water bodies different trophic state, many years monitoring which allowed to establish and reveal number fundamental patterns functioning aquatic ecosystems.Over the past 60 years, several stages in evolution structure functional organization ecosystem are clearly traced.Within framework work following periods were considered: 1) anthropogenic eutrophication (1978)(1979)(1980)(1981)(1982)(1983); 2) oligotrophication (from 1984 1990 for...
The ecosystem of the Naroch Lakes (Belarus) includes three water bodies, Lake Batorino, Myastro and Naroch. These lakes have a common catchment area. At end 80 s, underwent transformation, during which nutrient load on area decreased, concentration phosphorus as limiting factor in these bodies decreased significantly. same time, were exposed to zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha Pallas) invasion. In mid-90 biological hydrochemical characteristics stabilized. We show here that complex...
Abstract The impacts of species invasions can subside or amplify over time as ecosystems “adapt” additional invaders arrive. These long-term changes provide important insights into ecosystem dynamics. Yet studies dynamics are rare and often confound with coincident environmental change. We synthesize many-decade time-series across to resolve shared in seven key features following invasion by quagga zebra mussels, two widespread congeners that re-engineer increasingly co-invade freshwaters....
The results of mathematical modeling trophic relationships between individual components ecological communities significantly depend on the features functional response predators (consumers). For this reason, adequacy processes is largely determined by choice a function that describes response. type such subject intense discussion. In particular, problem predator interference and associated two types functions describing in population dynamics are widely discussed. It predator-dependent...
