Research paper thumbnail of The Silent Threat of Non-native Fish in the Amazon: ANNF Database and Review

In this study we review NNF data in the Amazonian macroregion using spatiotemporal records on the occurrence and the richness of NNF from a collaborative network of 35 regional experts, establishing the Amazon NNF database (ANNF). The NNF species richness was analyzed by river basin and by country, as well as the policies for each geopolitical division for the Amazon. The analysis included six countries (Brazil, Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, Venezuela, and Colombia), together comprising more than 80% of the Amazon Region. A total of 1314 NNF occurrence records were gathered. The first record of NNF in this region was in 1939 and there has been a marked increase in the last 20 years (2000–2020), during which 75% of the records were observed. The highest number of localities with NNF occurrence records was observed for Colombia, followed by Bra...

Such spatially and temporally extensive datasets have been lacking for freshwater systems in comparison to terrestrial ones.Main types of variables containedThe database includes 11,386 time‐series of riverine fish community catch data, including 646,270 species‐specific abundance records, together with metadata related to the geographical location and sampling methodology of each time‐series.Spatial location and grainThe database contains 11,072 unique sampling locations (stream reach), spanning 19 countries, five biogeographical realms and 402 hydrographical basins world‐wide.Time period and grainThe database encompasses the period 1951–2019. Each time‐series is composed of a minimum of two yearly surveys (me...

For a species to become invasive, it must be voluntarily or involuntarily introduced by humans into a nonnative habitat. Mammals were among first taxa to be introduced worldwide for game, meat, and labor, yet the number of species introduced in the Neotropics remains unknown. In this data set, we make available occurrence and abundance data on mammal species that (1) transposed a geographical barrier and (2) were voluntarily or involuntarily introduced by humans into the Neotropics. Our data set is composed of 73,738 historical and current georeferenced records on alien mammal species of which around 96% correspond to occurrence data on 77 species belonging to eight orders and 26 families. Data cover 26 continental countries in the Neotropics, ranging from Mexico and its frontier regions (southern Florida and coastal‐central Florida in the southeast United States) to Argentina, Paraguay, Chile, and Uruguay, and t...

Brazil is a signatory country of the CBD; however, the number of alien species records in its territory is continuously rising. To evaluate the invasive alien species (IAS) policy in Brazil, we reviewed the legislation delineating historical trends to identify potential gaps and avenues for improvement. We consulted several websites using keywords related to invasions in order to track legal instruments such as laws, decrees and regulations. We classified the documents regarding their main aims with regard to IAS, taxon and environment of interest. We found 85 legal instruments in force related to IAS published in the federal sphere up to October 2021, with decrees being the most common type. Most documents were classified as ‘control’ and ‘prevention’ and...

Methods In this study, the LWR of 10 fish species of the Guaraguaçu River, southern Brazil, were analyzed. Fish were sampled semiannually between 2004 and 2007, using different sampling techniques in the Guaraguaçu River. Results A total of 673 specimens of 10 species were captured. The LWR demonstrated a prevalence of species (six out of 10) with positive allometric growth (b > 3). The remaining species presented isometric (b = 3, two species) or negative growth (b < 3, two species). Native species exhibited the same LWR from previous studies, except Centropomus parallelus, which presented an isometric growth in this study. The non-native species Clarias gariepinus and Ictalurus punctatus showed significant differences between the LWR parameters in...

Invasion biology: hypotheses and evidence, 2018

Given the current scenario of species invasions worldwide, the question arises how non-native species will interact in the new environment. Such reasoning has led to the invasional meltdown hypothesis (IM) which states that non-native species facilitate one another's invasion, increasing their likelihood of survival, ecological impact and possibly the magnitude of their impact. However, given the importance of antagonistic interactions in natural communities, it is not yet known to what extent these facilitative effects of non-native species occur. We used the hierarchy-of-hypotheses (HoH) approach to differentiate key aspects of IM and link empirical studies to specific sub-hypotheses of the overall hypothesis. Evidence related to IM was gathered by assessing citations of Simberloff and Von Holle (1999) who first defined it. Our HoH was categorized by the type of interaction am...

The research focused on the case study of Oreochromis niloticus and considered: 1) current legislation available on regulations regarding the creation of the non-native species Oreochromis niloticus and considered: 1) the current legislation published in the Official Daily of the states that make up the Legal Amazon (Acre, Amapa, Amazonas, Para, Rondonia, Roraima, Tocantins and parts of Maranhao and Mato Grosso) and the provisions of federal legislation; 2) the total number and production of O. niloticus fish farms by state, published in the 2020 Annual Report of PEIXE BR and data from the Agricultural Census in 2017 (IBGE, 2017). The survey of the laws demonstrated that stat...
