Pathways and places associated with nonindigenous aquatic species introductions in the Laurentian Great Lakes

Abstract: Propagule pressure (i.e., the frequency and abundance of introductions) is a common indicator of the likelihood of nonindigenous aquatic species (NAS) establishment success. Evaluating propagule pressure associated with multiple introduction pathways relative to present NAS distribution patterns may identify which pathway presents the greatest risk. Our objective was to develop and evaluate three geospatial metrics for the Laurentian Great Lakes as proxies of propagule pressure associated with three major intr… Show more

“…Nonetheless, studies on different organisms and at different spatial and temporal scales indicate that invasion success is idiosyncratic, with individual species or assemblages supporting different hypotheses (Fitzgerald et al ., ; O'Malia et al . ; Skóra et al ., ). If such idiosyncrasy holds, case‐by‐case studies such as the present one, identifying key determinants of individual species, are important to understand the distribution of invasive species and to develop major conservation efforts to prevent such invasions.…”

“…Another source of introduction in aquatic systems is the direct release of aquarium specimens, which increases the propagule pressure of non-native species (Copp et al, 2005;Dawson et al, 2017;Ferraz et al 2019;Leprieur et al, 2008;Magalhães & Jacobi, 2010). If the total number of releases is linked to the size of the human population in a given area, then one would expect to find especially numerous records of non-native species in areas with high densities of human population (Dawson et al, 2017;O'Malia et al, 2018). Non-native populations also have high establishment success in degraded freshwater habitats (Vörösmarty et al, 2010) because they often harbour simplified native assemblages (Casatti et al, 2006;Leitão et al, 2018) and thus have more available niches (Catford et al, 2009).…”

“…Such routes cannot be tracked or controlled by targeting the official market, such as through changing customs regulations. Current risk assessment models frequently use commerce schemes and organisms in trade as a proxy for propagule pressure (O'Malia, Johnson, & Hoffman, 2018). However, based on this study, we suggest that these models could be amended by incorporating the non‐market flows of fish species.…”
