Accurate knowledge of the global distribution of non-indigenous species (NIS) is essential for understanding their invasion dynamics and for implementing timely management measures. This study reports the first records of the marine amphipod Aoroides longimerus, putatively native to the East Asian coast, in Italy (2018), Spain (2019) and Tunisia (2022) and provides the earliest documented record of the species in its introduce...

Aim A detailed, comparative DNA‐barcoding and morphospecies‐based overview of the vertical and horizontal distribution of Lake Ohrid's endemic Gammarus species flock is provided. Re‐evaluation of the time frame for the onset of the species flock and identification of events that putatively influenced diversification processes. Location Lake Ohrid, Balkan Peninsula, Europe. Taxon Gammarus species flock (Amphipoda, Crustacea). M...
