Abstract

Predicting the future spread of non-native aquatic species continues to be a high priority for natural resource managers striving to maintain biodiversity and ecosystem function. Modeling the potential distributions of alien aquatic species through spatially explicit mapping is an increasingly important tool for risk assessment and prediction. Habitat modeling also facilitates the identification of key environmental variables influencing species distributions. We modeled the potential distribution of an aggressive invasive , the red shiner (Cyprinella lutrensis), in waterways of the conterminous United States using maximum entropy (Maxent). We used inventory records from the USGS Nonindigenous Aquatic Species Database, native records for C. lutrensis from museum collections, and a geographic information system of 20 raster climatic and environmental variables to produce a map of potential red shiner habitat. Summer climatic variables were the most important environmental predictors of C. lutrensis distribution, which was consistent with the high temperature tolerance of this species. Results from this study provide insights into the locations and environmental conditions in the US that are susceptible to red shiner invasion. Key words: invasive fishes; maximum entropy; Cyprinella lutrensis; species distribution modeling

Introduction Forecasting the potential geographic distribution of aggressive invaders is a crucial component of Alien invasive fishes have contributed to the habitat conservation. Species distribution global decline in stream fauna through predation, modeling (SDM) offers a method for generating competition, and hybridization (Miller et al. spatially explicit information to prioritize 1989; Allendorf et al. 2001). The number and invasive species management efforts by rate of new introductions have increased identifying habitats that are likely to be invaded. dramatically since the 1950s through the Recent advances in geographic information propagation and transportation of species around systems (GIS), data mining methods, and data the world (Fuller et al. 1999). Predicting the availability have lead to the proliferation of a future spread of non-native aquatic species wide array of SDM approaches. continues to be a high priority for natural Maximum entropy (Maxent) is a high resource managers striving to maintain performing SDM method that uses species biodiversity and ecosystem function. Invasive occurrence and environmental data for predicting species can have myriad impacts on native potential species distributions (Phillips et al. aquatic community structure including reducing 2006; Elith et al. 2006). Maxent is a machine- native species diversity and abundance (Gordon learning algorithm that compares presence 1998; Wilcove et al. 1998, 2000), modifying locations to environmental variables at those hydrology (Ricciardi and MacIsaac 2000) and locations and then across the study region to nutrient cycling (Simon and Townsend 2003; generate predictions of species distributions in Strayer 2010), and altering food web dynamics un-sampled locations.
