How do alien water boatmen #Trichocorixa spread around the Mediterranean region? Do waterbirds give them a lift? #epizoochory #endozoochory #EBDpub #alienspecies @ebdonana @BES_Invasive @freshwaterbio @Invasoraspt @CABI_Invasives @freshwaterblog @UoM_EES
New paper out with @vane_cespe in @BioInvasions Eco-immunology of native and invasive water bugs #corixidae in response to water mite ectoparasitism, with field and experimental data #immunity #parasite @ebdonana #invasivespecies #Trichocorixa
Life cycle of one of Europe's few alien aquatic insects, the waterboatman #Trichocorixa #Corixidae, in saline Iberian #wetlands. Winter reproduction and high fecundity allow it to outcompete native taxa #Sigara #EBDpub #invasivespecies @ebdonana @IEA_UdG
American #Corixidae waterboatmen #Trichocorixa verticalis are taking over in coastal Iberia. In saline sites (left) they have excluded natives such as #Sigara selecta. In fresh sites (right) they coexist mainly with S. lateralis. #invasivespecies @ebdonana
Sampling the alien boatman #Trichocorixa verticalis for an #invasiongenetic study I just found swarms in this drainage canal @ebdonana @vane_cespe @JoaquinOrtego
#Biologicalinvasions modify co-occurrence patterns of native insects along stress gradients #trichocorixa @ebdonana
Nuestra becaria presenta su proyecto de tesis sobre la chinche acuática #Trichocorixa en #doñana #invasivespecies
What traits explain success of #Trichocorixa, one of Europe's few alien aquatic insects?
#InvasiveSpecies #EBDpub
selective predation by #dragonflies not #Gambusia restrict spread of alien boatman in #doñana
#EBDpub #Trichocorixa
gulls major vectors of #dispersal of insects and crustaceans stuck on their feathers
