Abstract In this study, the new occurrence of Carassius gibelio belonging to the genus Carassius in Ulugöl Plateau Pond (Mesudiye-Ordu, Turkey) and Perşembe Plateau Pond (Aybastı-Ordu, Turkey) in the Middle Black Sea Region (Turkey) is reported. The distribution data of Prussian carp was updated in the Middle Black Sea Region of Turkey in comparison to the previously known data. Presenting morphological data of samples collected from two different areas in the Middle Black Sea Region may contribute to revealing the current distribution status of this invasive species and determining the potential distribution areas.

SUMMARYAnts are among the worst invasive species, and can have tremendous negative impacts on native biodiversity, agriculture, estates, property and human health. Invasive ants are extremely difficult to control, and thus early detection is essential to prevent ant invasions, in particular through surveillance efforts at ports of entry. This paper assesses the potential distribution of 14 of the worst invasive ant species in France, under current and future climatic conditions. Consensus species distribution models, using five different modelling techniques, three global climate models and two CO2 emission scenarios, indicated that France presented suitable areas for 10/14 species, including five listed on the Invasive Species Specialist Group's selection of the world's 100 worst invasive species. Among these 10 species, eight were predicted to increase their potential range with climate change. Areas with the highest concentration of potential invaders were mainly located along the coastline, especially in the south-west of France, but all departments appeared to be climatically suitable for at least two invasive species. A ranking of climatic suitability per species for 17 major airports and 14 maritime ports indicated that the ports of entry with the highest suitability were located in Biarritz, Toulon and Nice, and the species with the greatest potential distribution in France were Lasius neglectus and Linepithema humile, followed by Solenopsis richteri, Pheidole megacephala and Wasmannia auropunctata.

Preventing the introduction of an invasive species and managing the ecological and economic effects of successful invasions often rely on accurate predictions of the potential distribution of the species in its new habitat. Instances of failed invasion can highlight factors other than dispersal that limit range expansion in an invasive species. The commercially available waterways (CAWs) of the U.S. are a network of interconnected rivers that support a regular traffic of commercial and maintenance vessels. As such, they are at extremely high risk of infestation from Dreissena, yet not all the rivers are infested. We used traffic, water chemistry, and impoundment characteristics of the rivers in this system to develop a set of logistic-regression models to predict the occurrence of Dreissena. Four single variable models correctly classified 20 out of 24 (83%) river systems. The best two-variable models had only one misclassified river, for an overall accuracy of 96%. Among rivers to which Dreissena has successfully dispersed, permanent populations are most likely to establish in systems that have moderate ionic strength and that also have some impoundment areas to increase long-term population persistence. We use this hierarchy of factors to extend predictions to four systems that currently lack the high dispersal intensity of the CAWs.
