Freshwater ecosystems can serve as model systems that reveal insights into biological invasions. In this article, we summarize nine lessons about aquatic invasive species from the North Temperate Lakes Long-Term Ecological Research program and affiliated projects. The lessons about aquatic invasive species are as follows: Invasive species are more widespread than has been documented; they are usually at low abundance; they can irrupt from low-density populations in response to environmental triggers; they can occasionally have enormous and far-reaching impacts; they can affect microbial communities; reservoirs act as invasive species hotspots; ecosystem vulnerability to invasion can be estimated; invasive species removal can produce long-term benefits; and the impacts of invasive species control may be greater than the impacts of the invasive species. This synthesis highlights how long-term research on a freshwater landscape can advance our understanding of invasions.
淡水生态系统可以作为揭示生物入侵见解的模型系统。在本文中，我们总结了来自北温带湖泊长期生态研究项目及相关项目的关于水生入侵物种的九条经验教训。关于水生入侵物种的经验教训如下：入侵物种的分布比已记录的更为广泛；它们通常数量稀少；它们可以在环境触发因素的作用下从低密度种群中爆发；它们偶尔会产生巨大且影响深远的影响；它们会影响微生物群落；水库是入侵物种的热点地区；可以估计生态系统对入侵的脆弱性；清除入侵物种可以产生长期效益；并且控制入侵物种的影响可能大于入侵物种本身的影响。这一综述强调了对淡水景观的长期研究如何能够增进我们对入侵现象的理解。
