Towards a better understanding of the effect of anthropogenic habitat disturbance on the invasion success of non-native species: slugs in eastern Canadian forests

Anna Mazaleyrat et al.

Summary: The disturbance hypothesis suggests that habitat disturbance promotes the invasion success of non-native species. This study aimed to investigate the effects of anthropogenic disturbance (logging) occurrence, intensity, and time since logging on the invasion success of the non-native slug species complex Arion subfuscus s.l. The results showed that logging occurrence had a positive effect on Arion abundance in only one of the study sites, while having a negative or no effect in the other sites. Additionally, Arion abundance decreased with increased biomass removal intensity and generally increased with time-since-logging. Future studies should aim to reformulate the disturbance hypothesis to make more specific predictions about the conditions under which habitat disturbance promotes the invasion success of non-native species.

Global economic costs and knowledge gaps of invasive gastropods

Xiaoming Jiang et al.

Summary: Invasive alien gastropods have significant impacts on aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems worldwide, but their economic costs to human society remain largely unknown. In this study, the researchers used the InvaCost database to assess the global patterns of economic costs associated with invasive gastropods. They found that Asia had the highest costs, mostly attributed to aquatic species. The average annual cost of this group amounted to $71.63 million.
