Article Synopsis
- An eco-monitoring program in northern Spain discovered the southern giant hornet, marking its first appearance in Europe, while assessing insect biodiversity related to yellow-legged hornet trapping.
- The study characterizes this new hornet using both morphological traits and genetic analysis, helping to distinguish it from other local hornet species.
- Concerns are raised about the southern giant hornet's potential threats to human health and ecosystems due to its predatory nature, underscoring the importance of insect trapping for early detection of invasive species.
An eco-monitoring programme to assess faunal biodiversity in the main rivers of the northern Iberian Peninsula (Spain) reveals the first occurrence of the marbled crayfish (Decapoda: Cambaridae) in Iberian inland waters. Iberian specimens have been identified by combining morphological and genetic traits. We discuss the most plausible pathways and introduction vectors, its potential invasiveness and subsequent impacts on host localities.
