TL;DR
The findings highlight the need for nuclear genomic data to clarify invasion pathways, hybridization, and demographic history and to better understand the ecological factors shaping the current distribution of Carcinus spp.
Using COI DNA sequences, DNA evidence is presented that confirms the invasion of Iraq’s freshwater ecosystems by two genetically distinct Sinanodonta lineages, raising significant ecological concerns, as the dual invasion may further threaten Iraq’s already declining native mussel fauna.
This study further supports previous findings that marine annelid invasions in the Mediterranean Sea are currently underestimated and underscores the pivotal role of integrative taxonomy in improving the authors' understanding of biological invasions.
This study describes four new species of frogs in the genus Pristimantis, belonging to the myersi group, and represents the first attempt to link the distribution of these species with the spatiotemporal dynamics of vegetation cover in Carchi, showing a net loss of more than 9,000 hectares between 1985 and 2022.
Invasive apple snails ( Pomacea spp.) have caused severe ecological and agricultural damage globally. Revealing their invasion history and genetic background is critical for effective management; however, traditional single-locus markers often provide insufficient resolution for deciphering complex dispersal routes...
