Data from: The stronger, the better – trait hierarchy is driving alien species interaction
Multiple invaders commonly co-occur in native ecosystems and in some cases have been shown to facilitate each other thus exacerbating impacts on native species, while in other cases one invader may reduce the impact of another due to competition. We therefore aimed at identifying mechanisms driving alien species interactions. We conducted a common garden experiment investigating all pairwise combinations of 20 alien annual plant species in Germany. We first tested whether competition or facilitation occurred more often. Secondly, we determined whether individual traits, hierarchical or absolute trait distances, multivariate trait or phylogenetic distance explained alien plant interactions best. Thirdly, we assessed whether accounting for trait plasticity explains plant performance better than species-level trait averages. While the magnitude of interspecific competition compared to intraspecific competition was on average larger across the 190 alien species combinations, interspecific facilitation still occurred in 24% of cases. Interactions could be better explained by hierarchical trait distances which reflect competitive ability, compared to phylogenetic and multivariate trait distance (reflecting niche differences). This finding supports criticisms about the applicability of testing limiting similarity versus environmental filtering and the community phylogenetic approach. Specifically, when growing taller and having a lower specific leaf area than the co-occurring alien neighbour, biomass and seed number of individuals in mixture increased compared to growing alone. Effects of seed mass, root:shoot ratio and flowering time depended on the performance measure. In contrast to recent suggestions, accounting for trait plasticity did not necessarily explain plant performance better than models using species-level trait averages. These results advance our fundamental understanding of trait-interaction relationships, strengthening recent findings on the importance of competitive hierarchy in shaping interactions and community structure. In particular, applying these concepts to the novel case of alien-alien interactions, is crucial given the continuing accumulation of alien species around the globe.
Data from: Ecological impact assessments of alien species in Norway
<ol> <li>Due to globalisation, trade and transport, the spread of alien species is increasing dramatically. Some alien species become ecologically harmful by threatening native biota. This can lead to irreversible changes in local biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, and, ultimately, to biotic homogenisation.</li> <li>We risk-assessed all alien plants, animals, fungi and algae, within certain delimitations, that are known to reproduce in Norway. Mainland Norway and the Arctic archipelago of Svalbard plus Jan Mayen were treated as separate assessment areas. Assessments followed the Generic Ecological Impact Assessment of Alien Species (GEIAA) protocol, which uses a fully quantitative set of criteria.</li> <li>A total of 1519 species were risk-assessed, of which 1183 were species reproducing in mainland Norway. Among these, 9% were assessed to have a severe impact, 7% high impact, 7% potentially high impact, and 49% low impact, whereas 29% had no known impact. In Svalbard, 16 alien species were reproducing, one of which with a severe impact.</li> <li>The impact assessments also covered 319 so-called door-knockers, i.e. species that are likely to establish in Norway within 50 years, and 12 regionally alien species. Of the door-knockers, 8% and 10% were assessed to have a severe and high impact, respectively.</li> <li>The impact category of most species was driven by negative interactions with native species, transformation of threatened ecosystems, or genetic contamination. The proportion of alien species with high or severe impact varied significantly across the different pathways of introduction, taxonomic groups, time of introduction and the environments colonised, but not across continents of origin.</li> <li>Given the large number of alien species reproducing in Norway and the preponderance of species with low impact, it is neither realistic nor necessary to eradicate all of them. Our results can guide management authorities in two ways. First, the use of quantitative assessment criteria facilitates the prioritisation of management resources across species. Second, the background information collected for each species, such as introduction pathways, area of occupancy and ecosystems affected, helps designing appropriate management measures.</li> </ol>

Data from: Climate oscillation and alien species invasion influences oceanic seabird distribution
Spatial and temporal distribution of seabird transiting and foraging at sea is an important consideration for marine conservation planning. Using at-sea observations of seabirds (n = 317), collected during the breeding season from 2012 to 2016, we built boosted regression tree (BRT) models to identify relationships between numerically dominant seabird species (red-footed booby, brown noddy, white tern and wedge-tailed shearwater), geomorphology, oceanographic variability, and climate oscillation in the Chagos Archipelago. We documented positive relationships between red-footed booby and wedge-tailed shearwater abundance with the strength in the Indian Ocean Dipole, as represented by the Dipole Mode Index (6.7% and 23.7% contribution respectively). The abundance of red-footed boobies, brown noddies and white terns declined abruptly with greater distance to island (17.6%, 34.1% and 41.1% contribution respectively). We further quantified the effects of proximity to rat-free and rat-invaded islands on seabird distribution at sea, and identify breaking point distribution thresholds. We identified areas of increased abundance at sea and habitat use-age under a scenario where rats are eradicated from invaded nearby islands and recolonised by seabirds. Following rat eradication, abundance at sea of red-footed booby, brown noddy, and white terns increased by 14%, 17% and 3% respectively, with no important increase detected for shearwaters. Our results have implication for seabird conservation and island restoration. Climate oscillations may cause shifts in seabird distribution, possibly through changes in regional productivity and prey distribution. Invasive species eradications and subsequent island recolonization can lead to greater access for seabirds to areas at-sea, due to increased foraging or transiting through, potentially leading to distribution gains and increased competition. Our approach predicting distribution after successful eradications enables anticipatory threat-mitigation in these areas, minimising competition between colonies and thereby maximising the risk of success and the conservation impact of eradication programmes.
Data from: Biomass responses of widely and less-widely naturalized alien plants to artificial light at night
<p>Artificial light at night has rapidly increased during the last century, and could potentially affect many ecological processes, from individuals via communities to entire ecosystems. Recent research has shown that artificial light at night may not only affect the behavior of animals but also growth of plants and vegetation composition. However, it is not known yet whether artificial light at night may also affect other global change components such as plant invasions. </p> <p>Here, we tested how naturalized alien plants respond to artificial light at night, and particularly whether widely naturalized species differ from less-widely naturalized species in their response to artificial light at night. We grew nine taxonomically related pairs of widely naturalized and less-widely naturalized species alone and in competition, with native plants with and without artificial light at night.</p> <p>We found that in the competition treatment, artificial light at night significantly increased the total biomass production per pot, but not the biomass ratio between the naturalized alien plants and the native competitors. Interestingly, although the less-widely naturalized species produced overall significantly less biomass than the widely naturalized species, there was a trend that the less-widely naturalized species increased their biomass more strongly in response to artificial light at night than the widely naturalized species did (<i>P</i> = 0.07).<b> </b></p> <p>Synthesis. Our study shows that although widely naturalized plants produce more biomass than less-widely naturalized plants across different environmental conditions, they took less advantage of artificial light at night. This suggests that artificial light at night might lead to increased spread of currently less-widely naturalized species, at least when artificial light at night continues to increase.</p>
Data from: Plant-soil feedback contributes to predicting plant invasiveness of 68 alien plant species differing in invasive status
<p>Understanding what species characteristics allow some alien plants to become invasive while others fail is critical to our understanding of community assembly processes. While many characteristics have been shown to predict plant invasiveness, the importance of plant-soil feedback (PSF) in invasions has been difficult to assess since individual studies include only a few species and use disparate methodology. We studied PSF of 68 invasive and non-invasive alien species in a single two-phase common garden experiment, and compared the relative importance of PSF, residence time, phylogenetic novelty and plant traits for plant invasiveness. Additionally, we explored relationships between PSF, residence time and phylogenetic novelty. PSF for seedling establishment, but not for biomass, was a significant predictor of invasive status, with invasive species having more positive PSF than non-invasive species. Its explanatory power was, however, much lower than that of specific leaf area, height, and residence time. Phylogenetically novel species experienced less negative PSF than species with native congeners, suggesting they benefit more from enemy release. PSF of non-invasive species, contrary to that of invasive species, was becoming more negative with increasing residence time. We demonstrated that PSF for seedling establishment plays a role in predicting plant invasiveness and is a better predictor than more commonly studied PSF for plant biomass. Other species traits, such as specific leaf area, however, predict plant invasiveness much better than the PSF.</p>

Data from: Limiting burrowing activity and overland dispersal of the invasive alien red swamp crayfish Procambarus clarkii by sophisticated design of watercourses
<p>Two datasets belonging to the paper "Limiting burrowing activity and overland dispersal of the invasive alien red swamp crayfish <i>Procambarus clarkii</i> by sophisticated design of watercourses" published in Ecological Engineering (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecoleng.2022.106787), are provided here. </p><p> </p><p>The first dataset "Burrow data from Limiting burrowing activity and overland dispersal P. clarkii.csv" contains data from an inventory of crayfish burrows in three watercourses in the municipality of Horssen (Province of Gelderland), the Netherlands. These data were collected during a lowering of the water level in these watercourses, which takes place annually in the winter period to prevent nuisance from excessively high phreatic groundwater in agricultural areas. The sites were located up to 5 km apart. On each bank, red swamp crayfish burrows with tunnel openings in banks below the shoreline were counted from the opposite bank of the watercourse using binoculars. This field survey was performed in March 2019 when the water level was lowered for the maintenance of the watercourses. The chance of overlooking burrows was very low as the vegetation cover was low in this period. Three sites with 'natural-like' banks (banks rehabilitated to a natural profile during rehabilitation projects, in the dataset referred to as 'natural' banks) were chosen in the area with a lowered water level and presence of red swamp crayfish. At site 1, 2 and 3, a total of 125, 46 and 18 bank transects respectively, each one 10 metres long, were surveyed. Banks were categorized as follows: (a) non-natural (steep, <i>viz</i>. > 40°, and barely vegetated; n = 77), (b) semi-natural (steep with some vegetation; n = 50), and (c) natural (gentle sloping, <i>viz</i>. < 25°, with a diverse, well-developed submerged and emergent vegetation; n = 62). See the paper for schematic cross-sections of three bank types.</p><p>The second dataset "Inclination experiment data from Limiting burrowing activity and overland dispersal P. clarkii.csv" contains data of an inclination experiment to relate frequencies of overland movement of the red swamp crayfish to several inclinations and substrate types. For this purpose, a wooden plate of 120 x 180 cm with a 10 cm thick layer of soil was used as a base on which three lanes of 40 cm wide and 180 cm long were constructed with one substrate type each: a) bare sandy soil, b), species-poor grassland with low (2-5 cm) vegetation and c) tall (40-50 cm) herbaceous-rich grassland. Inclinations applied for this experiment were 0°, 10°, 20° and 30°. Individuals were randomly selected for each treatment and placed in the middle of a lane and oriented perpendicular to the lane. After each trial, the crayfish was placed back in the water container and replaced by another crayfish. There was a minimum period of at least one hour between each trial for each crayfish. Each crayfish was used once for each substrate type and inclination test, and the treatment order was randomised for each animal. A crayfish was placed in the middle of the lane and could freely move around for a period of three minutes. Hereafter, by the change of its position on the lane after 3 minutes it was recorded whether an individual moved up (or left in case of 0°), down (or right in case of 0°), or did not move. In total, 273 trials were conducted. Trial numbers differ between treatments due to mortality of three animals during storage.</p><p> </p><p>Abstract</p><p> </p><p>Invasive alien crayfish species pose major ecological and hydrological risks globally. The red swamp crayfish (<i>Procambarus clarkii</i>) is one of the most widespread crayfish species worldwide. Its impacts arise from burrowing activities and lead to mobilization of soil nutrients, water safety risks by instability of dikes and erosion of banks. Increased sediment load demands additional dredging of drainage ditches and canals to ensure their water discharge capacity. Sustainable methods for limiting burrowing in banks and dispersal behaviour of crayfish were not yet available. Therefore, a field study was performed to determine whether the number of burrows and overland movement of crayfish were related to a particular bank type. Burrows were counted in three watercourses during a water-level decline. The number of burrows was significantly lower in natural banks than in non-natural and semi-natural banks. The construction of natural-like banks along watercourses may significantly reduce sediment load, erosion and the collapse of banks by burrowing activities of crayfish. An inclination experiment mimicking various types of terrestrial dispersal barriers elucidated that steepness, soil type and vegetation structure of small embankments near watercourses were significant factors for manipulating overland movement of crayfish. Crayfish were taken out of the water for this purpose and placed on small experimental embankments varying in slope and types of vegetation. The lowest frequencies of upward movement were recorded at inclinations of 20° and 30° on bare sandy soil and short and species-poor grassland substrates. This implies that crayfish crawling out of the water will return to the watercourse when encountering such a dispersal barrier. Therefore, a sophisticated design of embankments along watercourses can be a tool to reduce colonization risk of nearby located, hydrologically isolated water bodies with high nature values. </p>

Data from: Impact of the invasive alien topmouth gudgeon (Pseudorasbora parva) and its associated parasite Sphaerothecum destruens on native fish species
<p>Two datasets belonging to the paper "Impact of the invasive alien topmouth gudgeon (<i>Pseudorasbora parva</i>) and its associated parasite <i>Sphaerothecum destruens</i> on native fish species" published in Biological Invasions (https://doi.org/10.1007/s10530-019-02114-6), is provided here. The first dataset consists of individual measured and weighed fish per sampled water body. In case a large number (>50) of the same species and length were encountered, a representative number was weighed and measured, and the remaining individuals were only counted. The second dataset consists of parameters related to morphology and water quality, and number of specimens found per fish species, of each sampled water body. Below, methodological information is provided on the study site, the sampling process, and the water sample analysis. For references, see the published paper in Biological Invasions.</p><p> </p><p>Study site</p><p>We selected 54 water bodies (oxbow lakes, shallow lakes and ponds) in river floodplains of the IJssel, Meuse, Nederrijn and Waal River. These water bodies were selected using the following criteria: a) Potential presence of <i>P. parva</i> according to the Dutch National Database Flora and Fauna, b) No permanent hydrological connection with the main stream or a side channel, c) Similarity in habitat characteristics (e.g., depth and surface area, for habitat characteristics per sampling site), d) Suitability for sampling with a seine net. These criteria were set to reduce variance in the fish species composition created by habitat variables, as our aim was to detect effects caused by <i>P. parva</i>. The areas of sampled water bodies ranged from 100 to 80,000 m2. In total 54 sites located in the floodplains were visited and sampled using a seine net (21 m long, 2.4 m high, mesh size 4x4 to 10x10 mm). Fifteen sites could not be sampled sufficiently with this gear type due to high vegetation cover and/or water depth. Hence, 39 sites were included in the analyses of effect on fish assemblages and body condition. The coordinate system used here concerns Amersfoort RD (EPSG: 28992). </p><p> </p><p>Sampling</p><p>Sampling of the fish populations was carried out from October to December 2015. The seine net was used while wading and provided adequate data on juvenile and small fishes in shallow habitats. The sampling area ranged from 0.04 to 82.35% of the surface area of water bodies and was used to calculate fish densities (number of fish m-2). All caught fishes were identified, weighed (accuracy 0.05 g) and their total lengths (TL, from tip of snout to longer caudal fin lobe, accuracy 1 mm) measured in the field. Young of the year (YOY) were distinguished, based on length. Each individual was assigned to being a YOY, based on known YOY thresholds in the Netherlands. Small fishes (<35 mm) were pooled for weighting. In case a large number (>50) of the same species and length were encountered, a representative number was weighed and measured, and the remaining individuals were only counted. Subsequently, the fishes were released. </p><p>Habitat and soil parameters which included coverage percentage of aquatic vegetation, littoral vegetation, and substrate (mud, sand, gravel and rocks), and tree branches in the water were visually estimated. The water transparency (cm) was determined using a Secchi disk (measured vertically). Water temperature (°C), conductivity (μS cm-1) and salinity (PSU) were measured at the site with the use of a Model 30 meter (YSI incorporated). A water sample was taken and at the same day pH and alkalinity (eq l-1) were measured in the laboratory. Water samples in polyethylene bottles were stored in the freezer at a maximum storage time of 75 days until analysis. Metal ions were analysed using an ICP analyser (Thermo Electron corporation IRIS Intrepid ΙΙ XDL). Concentrations of nitrate (NO3-), ammonium (NH4+), phosphate (PO43-), chloride (Cl-) and potassium (K+) were determined using an Auto Analyzer 3 system (Bran and Luebbe, Norderstedt Germany). Physico-chemical data is missing for site 39 due to loss of the sample.</p><p> </p><p>Abstract</p><p>The Asian cyprinid <i>Pseudorasbora parva</i> is considered to be a major threat to native fish communities and listed as an invasive alien species of European Union concern. Our study aims to gain evidence-based knowledge on the impact of both <i>P. parva</i> and it parasite <i>Sphaerothecum destruens</i> on native fish populations by analysing fish assemblages and body condition of individuals of native fish species in floodplain water bodies that were invaded and uninvaded by <i>P</i>. <i>parva</i>. We explored the use of environmental DNA (eDNA) techniques to detect <i>S. destruens</i>. Prevalence of <i>S. destruens</i> in native fish species was assessed. Fish samplings showed significantly negative correlations between the abundance of <i>P. parva</i> and the native <i>Leucaspius delineatus</i>, and <i>Pungitius pungitius</i> and three biodiversity indices of the fish assemblages (Simpson's diversity index, Shannon-Wiener index and evenness). Contrastingly, the abundances of the native <i>Gasterosteus aculeatus</i> and <i>P. parva</i> were positively related. In nearly all isolated water bodies with <i>P. parva</i>, this species is outnumbering native fish species. No effect of <i>P. parva</i> presence was found on body condition of native fish species. <i>Sphaerothecum destruens</i> was demonstrated to occur in both <i>P. parva</i> and <i>G. aculeatus</i>. <i>Gasterosteus aculeatus</i> is suggested to be an asymptomatic carrier that can aid the further spread of <i>S. destruens,.</i> Analysis of eDNA proved to be a promising method for early detection of <i>S. destruens</i>, here showing that <i>S. destruens</i> presence coincided with <i>P. parva</i> presence. The ongoing invasion of both <i>P. parva</i> and <i>S. destruens</i> is predicted to pose a significant risk to native fish communities.</p>
