The vulnerability of species to range expansions by predators can be predicted using historical species associations and body size

Abstract: ResearchCite this article: Alofs KM, Jackson DA. 2015 The vulnerability of species to range expansions by predators can be predicted using historical species associations and body size. Climate change threatens species directly through environmental changes and indirectly through its effects on species interactions. We need tools to predict which species are most vulnerable to these threats. Pairwise species associations and body size are simple but promising predictors of the relative impact of species intr… Show more

“…; Table , Supporting Information, Appendix S1). I also collected data on the vulnerability of 29 species to Rock Bass introductions; the relative risk ratio associated with these predator introductions was calculated from two‐by‐two contingency tables created from a data set of 1551 Ontario lakes also sampled in two time periods (from Alofs and Jackson ; Table , Supporting Information, Appendix S1). The relative risk ratio measures the impact of introduction as the probability of each resident species “loss” (presence during a historical survey and absence during a contemporary survey) given introduction and establishment of Amboplites rupestris (Rock Bass) over the probability of loss given no establishment, that is, background variation.…”

“…Further, body size has been used to infer the direct and indirect impacts of human activities including hunting and fishing (Jennings and Blanchard ; Fenberg and Roy ), land‐use changes (Mulder and Elser ), introduced species (Ness et al. ; Alofs and Jackson ), and climate warming (Gardner et al. ; Alofs et al.…”

“…Increasing temperatures in subarctic regions are consistently associated with poleward range expansions of temperate organisms (Hickling, Roy, Hill, Fox, & Thomas, ; Parmesan & Yohe, ). Subarctic regions are experiencing widespread poleward invasions of warmer water‐adapted freshwater fish species such as Cyprinids (e.g., ide Leuciscus idus , roach Rutilus rutilus ), Percids (e.g., ruffe , Gymnocephalus cernua , European perch, Perca fluviatilis ), and Centrarchids (e.g., smallmouth bass, Micropterus dolomieu , largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides ) (Alofs & Jackson, ; Chu et al., ; Comte et al., ; Graham & Harrod, ; Sharma, Jackson, Minns, & Shuter, ; Van Zuiden, Chen, Stefanoff, Lopez, & Sharma, ). As invasive species frequently have strong ecological impacts (Cucherousset & Olden, ; Simon & Townsend, ), effects of climate change on subarctic freshwaters may be due to indirect mechanisms mediated by poleward invasion of warm‐water‐adapted fish species.…”

“…For example, smallmouth bass are predicted to increase their range by 55%–422% by 2070 in Ontario, Canada, based on 126 climate scenarios (Van Zuiden et al., ). Pike ( Esox lucius ), ruffe, European perch, yellow perch ( Perca flavescens ), smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, roach, and ide have either been observed or predicted to expand their range into subarctic regions due to temperature increases with climate change (Alofs & Jackson, ; Byström et al., ; Hayden et al., ; Henriksson, Wardle, Trygg, Diehl, & Englund, ; Henriksson, Yu, Wardle, Trygg, & Englund, ; Reist et al., ; Sepulveda, Rutz, Ivey, Dunker, & Gross, ).…”
