The BRC database contains over 15 million records of more than 12000 species. Helen’s work focuses on the use of large-scale and long-term datasets on the distribution and abundance of species to understand and predict the effects of environmental change on biodiversity. The current focus of her research is predicting the biological impact of invasive alien species (IAS). Helen has worked on IAS for 10 years and as a community ecologist for 20 years. She is responsible for maintenance and further development of the Delivering Alien Invasive Species Inventories for Europe (DAISIE) web database, and the GB- Non-Native Species Information Portal (GB-NNSIP). The GB-NNSIP provides information to underpin IAS strategy in GB and also includes an effective system for early warning for the funding body (Defra). In addition Helen developed the GB biodiversity indicator for IAS. Recently she led a consensus workshop, on behalf of Defra, to derive a list of IAS predicted to arrive, establish and threaten biodiversity within GB. Helen led the task “Establishment of an EU information system on alien and invasive alien species” as part of the EU IAS strategy consultation. She is the chair of the newly formed COST Action ALIEN Challenge (TD1209) which has been implemented to link and analyse information on IAS across Europe. Helen also has extensive expertise in citizen science and recently led a major review which was published both as an extensive report and a guide to citizen science. Helen has recently been awarded the Zoological Society of London prestigious Silver Medal in recognition of her contribution to understanding and appreciation of zoology, recognising her leading role in science communication. Both the GB-NNSIP (and associated research on IAS within GB) and the COST Action highlight the expertise of Helen in leading large, multidisciplinary research teams to deliver high quality research. Helen was the project leader for the recently completed “Invasive alien species – framework for the identification of invasive alien species of EU concern” (ENV.B.2/ETU/2013/0026). She co-led the workshop described through this report. Riccardo Scalera, IUCN/SSC Invasive Species Specialist Group (ISSG), is a naturalist with over 16 years of professional experience in the field of conservation biology, wildlife management and vertebrate ecology, and a proficient expertise on European environmental policy and legislation, particularly in the field of nature protection and biodiversity (e.g. Habitats and Birds directives), sustainable exploitation of natural resources (e.g. in relation to the CITES and related Wildlife Trade regulations, etc.) and some relevant financial programmes (LIFE, Horizon 2020). Riccardo has worked for several public institutions and private companies - at both the international level (i.e. including the European Commission, the EEA, the REA, the JRC, the Council of Europe, IUCN International, WWF-European Policy Programme) and the national level (the Ministry of the 3 Environment in both Italy and Denmark, the Italian Ministry of Agriculture, the University of Rome) – across a number of biodiversity and nature conservation issues. Moreover he has been working as journalist, and has published several articles in both popular magazines and scientific journals. In relation to the IAS issue, he has been actively contributing to the development of key EU policy documents such as the EC report “Assessment to support continued development of the EU Strategy to combat invasive alien species”, the EEA technical reports on early warning and information system for IAS (no. 5/2010), on SEBI 2010 (no.15/2012) and on the impact of IAS (no. 16/2012) plus other EEA unpublished documents like the review of SEBI indicator 10 and the analysis of EU funding for management and research of IAS in Europe. Moreover, he fed and validated the information in the database for DAISIE (Delivering Alien Invasive Species In Europe), as well as the new EASIN database managed by the JRC. Finally, Riccardo has contributed to draft documents for both the Berne Convention (e.g. a black list of alien species in trade in Europe, and guidelines on IAS and zoos and aquaria) and the Convention of Bonn (a review on the impact of IAS on CMS species, with recommendations for a greater involvement of the convention in the fight against biological invasions) which led to the adoption of specific recommendations. Furthermore, since 2009 he is programme officer of the IUCN/SSC Invasive Species Specialist Group and co-editor of Aliens: the Invasive Species Bulletin. Riccardo is leading communications across all working groups within the newly developed COST Action Alien Challenge (TD1209). Riccardo led Task 5 for the recently completed “Invasive alien species – framework for the identification of invasive alien species of EU concern” (ENV.B.2/ETU/2013/0026). He co-led the workshop described through this report. Olaf Booy is Technical Coordinator for the Non-native Species Secretariat in Great Britain. He has worked on a wide range of invasive alien species for over 10 years, including practical management, research and policy delivery. He helped to develop GB’s invasive alien risk analysis mechanism, which he now manages, working closely with species experts, risk analysts and stakeholders to provide robust evidence to support decision makers. Olaf provided expertise on risk assessments and specifically the GB NNRA on day 1 of the workshop (Niall Moore provided the same on day 2). He also provided additional information for many species. Etienne Branquart is the head of the invasive species unit at the “Service Public de Wallonie”. He coordinates preventive and control actions against invasive species for the Walloon Government. Etienne formerly worked for the Belgian Biodiversity Platform for which he established the Belgian Forum on Invasive Species and developed the Belgian list and information system on invasive species (incl. ISEIA quick screening protocol). This list system inspired the development of different tools by policy makers, including a national code of conduct on invasive ornamental plants and new regulatory tools. Etienne has also been the scientific supervisor of the Belgian Alien Alert project that produced the Harmonia+ horizon scanning tool and has been actively involved with 4 different scientists in the development of detailed risk assessment reports for more than 20 non- native species in Belgium. He is involved as a national expert within the EPPO panel on invasive plants and the EC project "IAS - Framework for the identification of IAS of EU concern". During the workshop, Etienne provided expertise on the risk assessments of invasive aquatic plants. Belinda Gallardo is a postdoctoral researcher currently based at Pyrenean Institute of Ecology (IPE-CSIC) in Spain. She is specialized in the use of ecological modelling to predict the spread, distribution and impact of invasive species. She is particularly interested in the interplay between climate change, ecosystem services and invasive species. During the workshop she provided advice on climate change to underpin collation of information in relation to the minimum standard “Includes possible effects of climate change in the foreseeable future“. Piero Genovesi is the chair of IUCN SSC Invasive Species Specialist Group Masters and a senior scientist with ISPRA. He was a co-author in 2004 of the European Strategy on Invasive Alien Species of the Bern Convention and served on the SSC task force that produced the IUCN Guidelines on Reintroductions

These include complex effects of multiple abiotic and biotic stressors that may drive population losses. These losses are especially illustrated by amphibians, whose populations are declining worldwide. The causes of amphibian population declines are multifaceted and context-dependent. One major factor affecting amphibian populations is emerging infectious disease. Several pathogens and their associated diseases are especially significant contributors to amphibian population declines.

Ruiz Legacy Program Abstract: SSpecies introductions have increased dramatically in number, rate, and magnitude of impact in recent decades. In marine systems, invertebrates are the largest and most diverse component of coastal invasions throughout the world. Ascidians are conspicuous and well-studied members of this group, however, much of what is known about their invasion history is limited to particular species or locations. Here, we provide a large-scale assessment of invasions, using an extensive literature review and standardized field surveys, to characterize the invasion dynamics of non-native ascidians in the continental United States and Alaska.

  • Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms of Regeneration in Colonial and Solitary MARK Ascidians ⁎ Susannah H
    Developmental Biology 448 (2019) 271–278 Contents lists available at ScienceDirect Developmental Biology journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/developmentalbiology Review article Cellular and molecular mechanisms of regeneration in colonial and solitary MARK Ascidians ⁎ Susannah H. Kassmer , Shane Nourizadeh, Anthony W. De Tomaso Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology, University of California, Santa Barbara, CA, USA ABSTRACT Regenerative ability is highly variable among the metazoans. While many invertebrate organisms are capable of complete regeneration of entire bodies and organs, whole-organ regeneration is limited to very few species in the vertebrate lineages. Tunicates, which are invertebrate chordates and the closest extant relatives of the vertebrates, show robust regenerative ability. Colonial ascidians of the family of the Styelidae, such as several species of Botrylloides, are able to regenerate entire new bodies from nothing but fragments of vasculature, and they are the only chordates that are capable of whole body regeneration. The cell types and signaling pathways involved in whole body regeneration are not well understood, but some evidence suggests that blood borne cells may play a role. Solitary ascidians such as Ciona can regenerate the oral siphon and their central nervous system, and stem cells located in the branchial sac are required for this regeneration. Here, we summarize the cellular and molecular mechanisms of tunicate regeneration that have been identified so far and discuss differences and similarities

    Aquaculture, Aquarium, Conservation & Legislation OPEN ACCESS International Journal of the Bioflux Society Research Article Production of Aphanius mento (Heckel, 1843) under controlled conditions 1Soner Sezen, 2Murtaza Olmez 1 Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Livestock Mediterranean Fisheries Research Production and Training, Antalya, Turkey. 2 Suleyman Demirel University Egirdir Fisheries Faculty, Isparta, Turkey. Abstract. In this study, it was aimed to determine the adaptation capability to controlled conditions, reproductive behaviors, and production of Aphanius mento caught from Kirkgoz Springs, Antalya. Fish material for broodstock were caught using fine mesh tulle net and bag net with 2.5 mm mesh size. Twenty five female and 10 male breeding fish acclimated to experimental conditions in Aquarium Department Unit of Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Livestock Mediterranean Fisheries Research Production and Training Institute were spawned by providing egg collec- tors to the tank. Aphanius mento eggs were spherical, transparent and sticky. Examination with the microscope revealed that the eggs were full of pale yellow egg yolk with 7-8 lipid droplets and had fibrous sticking filaments on the surface. The average egg diameter was 1.59±0.50 mm (n=8). Hatching were observed at 11th day at 22.5±1.0ºC water temperature whereas at 8th day at 27.0±0.45ºC. Total length of newly hatched larvae was 5.1±0.07 mm, and swimming were competed at 4th day. Average size of one-week larvae was 5.6±0.2 mm. At this stage fins were fully developed, the larvae were able to swim freely and take exogenous food. Mean length of the fish was 2.7±0.2 cm on 7th month and a ju- venile fish had an appearance of morphologically mature fish.

  • Karyological Analysis of Some Species of Aphanius (Osteichthyes: Cyprinodontidae) from Anatolia
    Pakistan J. Zool., vol. 46(5), pp. 1271-1275, 2014. Karyological Analysis of Some Species of Aphanius (Osteichthyes: Cyprinodontidae) From Anatolia Muhammet Gaffaroğlu1, Muradiye Karasu Ayata1*, Sevgi Ünal2 and Mustafa Özkan1 1Department of Biology, Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Ahi Evran University, 40100 Kırşehir, Turkey 2Department of Biology, Faculty of Science, Gazi University, 06100 Ankara, Turkey Abstract.- In this study, chromosomal studies were carried out on four species of the genus Aphanius (Osteichthyes, Cyprinodontidae). Metaphase chromosomes were obtained from kidney cells. The diploid chromosome numbers of Aphanius anatoliae, A. danfordii, A. splendens and A. villwocki were 2n=48, and consisted of three pairs of submetacentric and 21 pairs of subtelocentric chromosomes. The arm number (NF) was 54. Constitutive heterochromatin regions were observed on the centromeres of chromosomes in all four species by using C-banding. Nucleolus organizer regions (NOR) were observed on the short arms of two pairs of chromosomes. It is believed that the data obtained will make a contribution to fish cytogenetics. Key words: Aphanius, chromosome, C-banding, NOR INTRODUCTION There has been no a detailed study on the cytogenetic features of these species although only haploid chromosome number has been reported in The family Cyprinodontidae is distributed A. anatoliae (Öztan, 1954; Wildekamp, 1993). throughout the United States, Africa, Southern The purpose of this study is to reveal the Europe and Asia. It is represented by a genus in our chromosomal features (with Giemsa, Ag-NOR country (Geldiay and Balık, 2007). The genus staining and C-banding) of four species (A. Aphanius Nardo, 1827 has 10 species in Anatolia.
