This review provides a contemporary account of knowledge on aspects introductions non‐native fish species and includes issues associated with introduction pathways, ecological economic impacts, risk assessments, management options impact climate change. It offers guidance to reconcile the increasing demands certain stakeholders diversify their activities using fishes long‐term sustainability native aquatic biodiversity. The rate at which freshwater have been introduced worldwide has doubled...
Biological invasions are a significant driver of human-induced global change and many ecosystems sustain sympatric invaders. Interactions occurring among these invaders have important implications for ecosystem structure functioning, yet they poorly understood. Here we apply newly developed metrics derived from stable isotope data to provide quantitative measures trophic diversity within populations or species. We then use test the hypothesis that belonging same functional feeding group...
Abstract Invasive alien species ( IAS ) are considered one of the greatest threats to biodiversity, particularly through their interactions with other drivers change. Horizon scanning, systematic examination future potential and opportunities, leading prioritization is seen as an essential component management. Our aim was consider that were likely impact on native biodiversity but not yet established in wild Great Britain. To achieve this, we developed approach which coupled consensus...
Non-native fishes are frequently used to enhance aquaculture and fisheries; if introduced into the wider environment, then majority will have negligible effects on native biodiversity. However, a minority become invasive, causing adverse ecological effects, so management actions may be needed minimize their dispersal impacts. These include eradication attempts from specific waters or well-defined spatial areas, population control by suppression (e.g. through removal programmes) containment...
Summary Predictions of the identities and ecological impacts invasive alien species are critical for risk assessment, but presently we lack universal standardized metrics that reliably predict likelihood degree impact such invaders (i.e. measurable changes in populations affected species). This need is especially pressing emerging potential future have no invasion history. Such a metric would also ideally apply across diverse taxonomic trophic groups. We derive new invader blends: (i)...
Abstract Freshwater ecosystems constitute only a small fraction of the planet's water resources, yet support much its diversity, with freshwater fish accounting for more species than birds, mammals, amphibians or reptiles. Fresh waters are, however, particularly vulnerable to anthropogenic impacts, including habitat loss, climate and land use change, pollution biological invasions. This environmental degradation, combined unprecedented rates biodiversity highlights importance robust...
Abstract Microplastics (MPs) are small, plastic particles of various shapes, sizes and polymers. Although well studied in marine systems, their roles importance freshwater environments remain uncertain. Nevertheless, the restricted ranges variable traits fishes result communities being important receptors strong bioindicators MP pollution. Here, current knowledge on MPs is synthesized, along with development recommendations for future research sample processing. commonly ingested passively...
ABSTRACT Standardised terminology in science is important for clarity of interpretation and communication. In invasion – a dynamic rapidly evolving discipline the proliferation technical has lacked standardised framework its development. The result convoluted inconsistent usage terminology, with various discrepancies descriptions damage interventions. A therefore needed clear, universally applicable, consistent to promote more effective communication across researchers, stakeholders,...
The Emergency Recovery Plan for freshwater biodiversity recognizes that addressing nonnative species is one of six principal actions needed to bend the curve in loss. This because introduction rates continue accelerate globally and where these develop invasive populations, they can have severe impacts on biodiversity. most effective management measure protect prevent introductions species. Should a be introduced, however, then its early detection implementation rapid reaction measures avoid...
Biological invasions pose a rapidly expanding threat to the persistence, functioning and service provisioning of ecosystems globally, socio-economic interests. The stages successful are driven by same mechanism that underlies adaptive changes across species in general-via natural selection on intraspecific variation traits influence survival reproductive performance (i.e., fitness). Surprisingly, however, rapid progress field invasion science has resulted predominance species-level...
OBJECTIVE. Our goal was to test the hypothesis that breastfeeding is associated with enhanced infant-mother attachment and its antecedent maternal sensitivity. METHODS. Breastfeeding intent practice were assessed by questionnaires administered 152 mothers between 32 weeks of gestation 12 months postpartum. Early sensitivity measured Sensitivity Cues subscale Nursing Child Assessment Satellite Training Feeding Scale at 3 months, quality mother-infant interaction 6 months. Security evaluated...

Abstract In recent years, policy‐makers have sought the development of appropriate tools to prevent and manage introductions invasive species. However, these are not well suited for non‐target species that unknowingly released alongside intentionally‐introduced The most compelling example such invasion is arguably topmouth gudgeon Pseudorasbora parva, a small cyprinid originating from East Asia. A combination sociological, economical biological factors has fuelled their rapid since 1960s; 32...
Summary 1. Temperate regions with fish communities dominated by cold‐water species (physiological optima <20 °C) are vulnerable to the effects of warming temperatures caused climate change, including displacement non‐native cool‐water 20–28 and warm‐water fishes >28 that able establish invade as thermal constraints on expression their life history traits diminish. 2. England Wales is a temperate region into which at least 38 freshwater have been introduced, although 14 these no longer...
The early course and antecedents of postpartum anxiety are unknown. This study sought to determine the maternal during first month develop a model predict 1-month using information obtainable before perinatal hospital discharge. Two hundred ninety-six mothers were screened discharge with State (SS) Trait (TS) Scales Anxiety Inventory (STAI). Demographic characteristics assessed by questionnaire medical record review, psychiatric history, measures stress, resilient factors determined focused...
Although difficult infant temperament has been associated with maternal postpartum anxiety and depressed mood in later infancy, the emergence of this association early period not explored. In a survey study 296 mothers healthy term newborns during first month, relationship was Maternal ratings were measured by Early Infancy Temperament Questionnaire. Postpartum State Scale State-Trait Anxiety Inventory Beck Depression Inventory. The correlated positively activity, rhythmicity, approach,...
Ecological theory attempts to predict how impacts for native species arise from biological invasions. A fundamental question centres on the feeding interactions of invasive and species: whether invasion will result in increased interspecific competition, which would negative consequences competing species, or trophic niche divergence, facilitate invader's integration into community their coexistence with species. Here, a highly fish, topmouth gudgeon Pseudorasbora parva, three functionally...
The mahseer fishes (Tor spp.) represent an iconic genus of large-bodied species the Cyprinidae family. Across 16 recognised in genus, individual fish can attain weights over 50 kg, resulting some being considered as premier sport fishes. Tor also generally have high religious and cultural significance throughout South Southeast Asia. Despite their economic importance, status has been increasingly imperilled through riverine habitats impacted by anthropogenic activities, such hydropower dam...
