Horizon scanning for invasive alien species with the potential to threaten biodiversity and human health on a Mediterranean island Research Institute for Nature and Forest
International Conference on Aquatic Invasive Species – ICAIS returned to Europe after 15 years Research Institute for Nature and Forest
The 22nd International Conference on Aquatic Invasive Species (ICAIS) was held as a hybrid event in Oostende, Belgium from 18–22 April 2022. The conference addressed the theme of “Global Climate Change Amplifies Aquatic Invasive Species Impacts” and aimed to expand knowledge on the latest science and policy, inspire cooperation and collaboration on research and management projects at a global scale. Seven renowned international scientists ...
A global-scale screening of non-native aquatic organisms to identify potentially invasive species under current and future climate conditions Research Institute for Nature and Forest
The threat posed by invasive non-native species worldwide requires a global approach to identify which introduced species are likely to pose an elevated risk of impact to native species and ecosystems. To inform policy, stakeholders and management decisions on global threats to aquatic ecosystems, 195 assessors representing 120 risk assessment areas across all six inhabited continents screened 819 non-native species from 15 groups of aquatic ...

Speaking their language – development of a multilingual decision-support tool for communicating invasive species risks to decision makers and stakeholders Research Institute for Nature and Forest
Environmental changes due to non-native species introductions and translocations are a global concern. Whilst understanding the causes of bioinvasions is important, there is need for decision-support tools that facilitate effective communication of the potential risks of invasive non-native species to stakeholders. Decision-support tools have been developed mostly in English language only, which increases linguistic uncertainty associated with ...
Invasive non-native crayfish in Belgium, a baseline Research Institute for Nature and Forest
The negative impact of invasive alien species (IAS) is especially severe in aquatic ecosystems and crayfish are one of the most destructive invasions
known to date, locally depleting resources in aquatic environments and changing the fauna and flora of ponds and rivers. Despite alarming reports
from other European countries, their occurrence and impact on aquatic ecosystems and biodiversity in Belgium remains poorly understood. ...

Parasite introduction with an invasive goby in Belgium Research Institute for Nature and Forest
Non-indigenous species may have negative impacts
on the native fauna in their competition for food and
habitat, but they can also introduce non-indigenous parasite
species, with sometimes devastating consequences. Cointroduction
of parasites should therefore be carefully monitored,
but this aspect is mostly overlooked. The round goby
Neogobius melanostomus (Pallas, 1814) and the tubenose goby
