Abstract
The invasive component of the cenoflora of segetal (field weed) communities of the Southern Urals and adjacent territories (Republic of Bashkortostan, Perm krai, and Orenburg oblast) was analyzed. A total of 33 invasive species were identified, which is 11.3% of the entire cenoflora of segetal communities. Analysis of species distribution in the syntaxonomic space of segetal vegetation showed that invasive species occur in 17 syntaxa corresponding to the rank of the association. The number of invasive species in them ranges from 1 to 16. Most of the recorded invasive species are xenophytes (Rhaponticum repens, Amaranthus albus, Ambrosia psylostachya, Artemisia sieversiana, Ceratocarpus arenarius, Cyclachaena xanthiifolia, Bassia scoparia, Iva xanthiifolia, Sisymbrium volgense, Xanthium orientale, etc.) and have high values of constancy and activity in the southern part of the gradient—in the steppe and the southern part of the forest-steppe zone. A small group of ergasiophytes (Heracleum sosnowskyi, Lupinus polyphyllus, Galega orientalis, etc.) gravitates to the northern part of the gradient to the forest and the northern part of the forest-steppe zone. The leading ecological factors of invasive species distribution are shading/lighting, temperature regime, and climate continentality. The most invasive communities of the region’s segetal vegetation and peculiar “corridors” for the advancement of some invasive species from south to north are the communities of Orenburg oblast, which represent two associations Amarantho blitoides–Lactucetum tataricae Khasanova et al. 2019 and Lactucetum tataricae Rudakov in Mirkin et al. 1985.

Abstract
Analysis of macrozoobenthos samples collected in the reservoirs of the Western Manych River valley during a complex expedition organized by the Southern Scientific Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences in 2021, revealed two polychaete individuals from the genus Laonome. Probably, the polychaete Laonome xeprovala Bick & Bastrop, in Bick et al., 2018 invaded the Veselovskoye Reservoir via the cascade of waterways from the Don River. This is a new locality for this species within the invasive range of the genus on the territory of the Russian Federation. To date, since this polychaete has been revealed at only one sampling site, it is difficult to evaluate the level of naturalization of this species in the water bodies of the Western Manych valley.
摘要在俄罗斯科学院南方科学中心于2021年组织的一次综合考察中,对在西曼伊奇河流域水库中采集的大型底栖生物样本进行了分析,发现了两个Laonome属的多毛目环节动物个体。可能是多毛目Laonome xeprovala Bick & Bastrop, in Bick et al., 2018通过顿河的级联水道入侵了Veselovskoye水库。这是该物种在俄罗斯联邦境内入侵范围内的一个新地点。迄今为止,只有一个采样点发现了这种多毛目环节虫,因此很难评估该物种在西曼奇河谷水体中的归化程度。

Abstract
Current data on the existing secondary range of the four-eyed fir bark beetle Polygraphus proximus in Russia, a dangerous invasive pest of fir stands, are presented. The alien species was found on the territory of 18 administrative subjects of the Russian Federation, from Moscow and Moscow oblast in the west to the Irkutsk oblast and the Republic of Buryatia in the east. Within 17 years since the species was first found outside its Far Eastern natural range, it has spread widely in Western and Central Siberia and in recent years in the Pre-Urals region and the Urals, from the middle taiga to forest steppe on the plains to the upper limit of Siberian fir in the mountains. It forms outbreak foci in exploitative forests, in specially protected natural areas, and in artificial fir plantations of settlements. Taking into account the peculiarities of host plant growth, the time of detection, and sources of invasive population formation, the structure of secondary range is developed, and the characteristics of modern distribution of the four-eyed fir bark beetle and the forecast of further expansion of its secondary range are given.

Abstract
We present information on the findings of Baikal endemic species, the longfin Baikal sculpin Cottocomephorus inermis (Yakovlev, 1890) and Baikal yellowfin C. grewingkii (Dybowski, 1874), in the middle reaches of the Angara River (downstream pool of the Boguchanskaya Hydroelectric Power Station). Under conditions of active hydraulic construction on the Angara River, accompanied by a change in the hydrological regime and fish habitat conditions, further dispersal of the two species of Baikal sculpins of the genus Cottocomephorus is predicted in the river basin up to the mouth.

Abstract
The propagation of exotic species is a complex process influenced by taxa-specific factors, in addition to climate and anthropozoogenic activities. However, the introduction of plants outside their native range does not always lead to their naturalization and/or the invasion of native ecosystems. Once non-native species have become established, they become extremely difficult to eradicate or control. Moroccan wetlands are crucial to the conservation of biodiversity, but they are susceptible to invasive hygrophilous plants. The invasive potential of introduced hygrophytes in Morocco was assessed through an extensive documentation review on their distribution, biology, ecology, uses, considering both their updated scientific names and their synonymy. Three groups of hygrophytes with varying invasive potential have been identified, based on their bioclimatic distribution, intrinsic propagation ability and use. The high invasiveness group (species with high invasiveness in other countries) includes Populus nigra L., P. alba L., Cotula coronopifolia L., Gomphocarpus fruticosus (L.) W.T. Aiton, and Arundo donax L. With the exception of Cotula coronopifolia, which is naturalized in Morocco, none of other highly invasive in other countries species has reached naturalized and/or invasive status. The status of these introduced hygrophytes in Morocco, as well as those with moderate (Heliotropium curassavicum L., Cotula anthemoides L., Pistia stratiotes L., Cyperus eragrostis Lam., and Paspalum distichum L.) or low invasive potential [Azolla filiculoides Lam., Modiola caroliniana (L.) G. Don, Salix babylonica L., Asclepias curassavica L., Eclipta prostrata (L.) L., Triglochin striata Ruiz & Pav., and Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solms], is compared with that of other regions of the world. Although Pistia stratiotes has invaded wetlands in several regions, its invasion is currently limited in Morocco due to environmental and management factors. As a result, more botanical studies of Moroccan wetlands are needed, as many introduced species are currently poorly known and their status may change, while new introduced hygrophytes may also be encountered. Assessing the invasive potential of introduced hygrophytes will enable in part the implementation of proactive measures to better protect local wetlands against invasive species.

Abstract
The ecological niches (ENM) and spatial distribution (SDM) models of the Russian sturgeon Acipenser gueldenstaedtii Brandt et Ratzeburg (1833), as well as zoobenthos—the main components of this species feeding (Annelida, Mollusca and Crustacea) in the northern part of the Caspian Sea based on long-term monitoring data (1992–2011) and raster layers of the marine environment are presented. The constructed ENM using PCA within the framework of two concepts COUE and ECOUE allowed us to test the hypothesis of conservatism of ecological niches of the Russian sturgeon over time. It was shown that, while under the COUE concept the hypothesis of niche conservatism was fulfilled for one time period of monitoring, under the expanded ECOUE concept, this hypothesis is fulfilled for all monitoring periods. The SDM built by MaxEnt showed that trophic relationships between Russian sturgeon and Azov-Black Sea invaders from different taxonomic groups (Annelida, Mollusca, and Crustacea) in the northern part of the Caspian Sea are quite closely reflected in their spatial distribution. High biomass values of molluscs, crustaceans and ringworms (Annelida) as the main component in the feeding of Russian sturgeon in the western part of the Northern Caspian Sea create preferred conditions for feeding of Russian sturgeon in summer. It has been established that, in the eastern and shallow parts of the Northern Caspian the main components of the feeding are mollusks and crustaceans.

Abstract
First records of Silvanoprus angusticollis (Reitter, 1876) (Coleoptera: Silvanidae) were obtained from the European part of Russia. So far, this Asian beetle species was recorded in Russia in Eastern Siberia. First records from European Russia came from Saratov and Yaroslavl oblasts. Records of Silvanoprus angusticollis in different regions of European Russia probably show that this species was not distinguished from similar silvanid flat bark beetle species. Distinctive details of the morphology of this species are illustrated.

Abstract
Microclimates of large cities and global warming favor the range expansion of the Far-Eastern invasive fish Perccottus glenii in northern regions of Europe where this invader becomes a component of local ecosystems and participates in transmission of parasites and pollutants along food chains. We have assessed contents of seven trace elements in muscle tissues of this invasive fish in 16 water bodies within the city of Moscow. In all water bodies studied, quantities of all studied elements did not exceed the maximum concentrations permitted in national and international guidelines. Therefore, the screened water bodies of Moscow may be assessed as unpolluted. The fish P. glenii is a convenient object for assessing pollution levels of city ponds, since this fish species is now widespread, reaches a high population densities in shallow aquatic sites, may be caught easily, no permit is required for its capture because the species is recognized as invasive, and its partial elimination does not damage native freshwater ecosystems.

Abstract
A specimen of the marbled spinefoot Siganus rivulatus Forsskål & Niebuhr, 1775, a new fish species for the Black Sea, was caught on November 10, 2020, in the waters of Dvuyakornaya Bay near the city of Feodosiya in the northeastern part of the Black Sea. The 2-year-old fish had a total body length of 124.2 mm and height of 35.7 mm. The morphology of the main elements of the fish’s body and its teeth are described.

Abstract
Halyomorpha halys is a harmful invasive species of heteropteran insects. We identified the ecological and geographical distribution boundaries of the species by analyzing the occurrences of H. halys in its native range (East Asia) and its invasive range (North America and Europe) and subsequently comparing these occurrences with maps of environmental factors. The limits of its ecological tolerance towards the primary limiting environmental factors affecting its distribution have been refined. The longer history of the invasion of this species in North America, the features of the spatial distribution of environmental factors, and the location of the initial penetration allowed H. halys to occupy its potential ecological niche more fully in North America compared to Europe. A comparative ecogeographical analysis of the current distribution of H. halys in North America has enabled an assessment of the species’ near-term prospects for distribution in Europe. The spread of the invader into Europe under contemporary climatic conditions may occur in an eastern direction—through the territory of Ukraine, the southern regions of Belarus, and the southwestern part of the Russian Federation. The boundaries of this advancement are primarily linked with the ability of H. halys to adapt to harsh overwintering conditions. Within large cities acting as heat islands, the formation of self-sustaining populations of H. halys up to 55° N latitude cannot be ruled out. However, significant territories in Eastern Europe are characterized by pessimal values for H. halys across multiple environmental factors simultaneously. This might contain the further spread of the species in Europe, hinder its naturalization, and reduce the occurrence of H. halys in these regions.
