Abstract

Disseminules have drifted in long distance dispersal from the Americas to the coasts of Europe with records extending to the Arctic Ocean and southwards to the Macaronesian islands. The parent plants originate from tropical wetland forests to boreal conditions. Their disseminules undergo different ocean crossing times according to buoyancy duration. We use plastic-drift as a surrogate for the likely risks that disseminules endure during long-distance oceanic spread relating to their size, behaviour and losses from sinking. While origins of disseminules have a wide latitudinal biogeography we have used the records of the extensive strandings on Floridian, Bermudian and the east coast of North American shores as the region with which to compare the comparatively sparse arrivals in Europe. Studies on plastic drift show that the Atlantic current flow is mainly directed towards the northern coast of Ireland, that also covers the west coast of Scotland and south-west Britain. We have concentrated our records to this region, in particular to the Atlantic coasts of Ireland. Few disseminules arrive on European shores in a viable state, and for those that do, the temperate conditions may not suit germination. Some stranding events are likely to have anthropogenic involvement; but the great majority are most probably naturally distributed. Historically, the ethnographic significance suggests stranding events have taken place over centuries and most probably regularly took place during the Holocene. The increase of records in recent decades is likely to have been due to interested observers with access to taxonomic guides, the popular literature and on-line information.

Abstract

Invasive non-native species (INNS) are recognized as a major threat to island biodiversity, ecosystems, and economies globally. Preventing high-risk INNS from being introduced is the most cost-effective way to avoid their adverse impacts. We applied a horizon scanning approach to identify potentially INNS in the United Kingdom Overseas Territories (OTs), ranging from Antarctica to the Caribbean, and from the Pacific to the Atlantic. High-risk species were identified according to their potential for arrival, establishment, and likely impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem function, economies, and human health. Across OTs, 231 taxa were included on high-risk lists. The highest ranking species were the Asian green mussel (Perna viridis), little fire ant (Wasmannia auropunctata), brown rat (Rattus norvegicus), and mesquite tree (Prosopis juliflora). Shipping containers were identified as the introduction pathway associated with the most species. The shared high-risk species and pathways identified provide a guide for other remote islands and archipelagos to focus ongoing biosecurity and surveillance aimed at preventing future incursions.

Abstract

The high Arctic is considered a pristine environment compared with many other regions in the northern hemisphere. It is becoming increasingly vulnerable to invasion by invasive alien species (IAS), however, as climate change leads to rapid loss of sea ice, changes in ocean temperature and salinity, and enhanced human activities. These changes are likely to increase the incidence of arrival and the potential for establishment of IAS in the region. To predict the impact of IAS, a group of experts in taxonomy, invasion biology and Arctic ecology carried out a horizon scanning exercise using the Svalbard archipelago as a case study, to identify the species that present the highest risk to biodiversity, human health and the economy within the next 10 years. A total of 114 species, currently absent from Svalbard, recorded once and/or identified only from environmental DNA samples, were initially identified as relevant for review. Seven species were found to present a high invasion risk and to potentially cause a significant negative impact on biodiversity and five species had the potential to have an economic impact on Svalbard. Decapod crabs, ascidians and barnacles dominated the list of highest risk marine IAS. Potential pathways of invasion were also researched, the most common were found associated with vessel traffic. We recommend (i) use of this approach as a key tool within the application of biosecurity measures in the wider high Arctic, (ii) the addition of this tool to early warning systems for strengthening existing surveillance measures; and (iii) that this approach is used to identify high‐risk terrestrial and freshwater IAS to understand the overall threat facing the high Arctic. Without the application of biosecurity measures, including horizon scanning, there is a greater risk that marine IAS invasions will increase, leading to unforeseen changes in the environment and economy of the high Arctic.

Abstract

Pseudamussium peslutrae has a geographical range from southern Iceland and Norway southwards to the western Mediterranean Sea and North Africa. In this study, its biometrics were examined from two collections at mean depths of 353 and 517m from the Rockall continental slope, with only four scallops obtained at depths to 810m. Growth was based on the formation of shell rings, with one specimen having seventeen rings. Associates fouling the shells were classified according to nine taxa.
