Establishment of an invasive snail Melanoides tuberculata (Müller, 1774) in a Sahelian urban reservoir in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso

BioInvasions Records, 2023
Human land-use plays an important role in the distribution of aquatic invasive species. The establishment of these species may have an unpredictable impact on their new environment. We analyzed the establishment of M.

Distribution, drivers and population structure of the invasive alien snail Tarebia granifera in the Luvuvhu system, South Africa

River Research and Applications, Volume 38, Issue 8, Page 1362-1373, October 2022., 2022
Abstract Invasive alien species continue to spread and proliferate in waterways worldwide, but environmental drivers of invasion dynamics lack assessment. Knowledge gaps are pervasive in the Global South, where the frequent heavy human‐modification of rivers provides high opportunity for invasion.

Recurrent camouflaged invasions and dispersal of an Asian freshwater gastropod in tropical Africa [PDF]

, 2015
Background: Non-indigenous taxa currently represent a large fraction of the species and biomass of freshwater ecosystems. The accumulation of invasive taxa in combination with other stressors in these ecosystems may alter the habitats to which native ...

Structure and functional composition of macroinvertebrate communities in coastal plain streams across a precipitation gradient

Freshwater Biology, Volume 67, Issue 10, Page 1725-1738, October 2022., 2022
Abstract Climate change is expected to alter rainfall and temperature regimes across the world. The hydrology and riparian zone vegetation of lotic ecosystems are tightly linked to rainfall and a mechanistic understanding of the effects of rainfall on lotic ecosystems is needed to forecast the ecological impacts of climate change.

Niche filtering, competition and species turnover in a metacommunity of freshwater molluscs

Oikos, Volume 2022, Issue 9, September 2022., 2022
Metacommunity structure reflects the interplay of various processes, including niche filtering, extinction/colonization and interspecific interactions. Spatial patterns of species distributions are often analyzed to infer these processes. However, such inferences rely on often unrealistic equilibrium assumptions, and remain ambiguous, as different ...

Evaluation of some physicochemical parameters and benthic macroinvertebrates of Ikere Gorge Reservoir in Oyo State, Nigeria

Journal of Applied Sciences and Environmental Management, 2017
The physico-chemical parameters and benthic macroinvertebrates of Ikere Gorge Reservoir were studied to assess the impact of anthropogenic activities on this man-made lake by collecting surface water and benthic samples. Physico-chemical parameters were

Prevalence of Intestinal Parasites in Captive Asian Elephants (Elephas maximus Linnaeus, 1758) in Central Nepal. [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
Gastrointestinal parasites (GIPs) are determining factors in the health of Asian Elephants. The current coproscopic study recorded 95.2% prevalence rates with 19 different GIPs from these animals. The major risk factors could be overlapping niches with domestic and wild animals, irregular medication and the existence of critical stressors. .
