  1. @Cyanocitta The California quail Callipepla californica is an interesting and visually #appealing #bird of the #Galliformes, as visible in this photo. It is originally distributed along the west coast of #NorthAmerica, but also occurs as a #neozoan in South America, Australia or Corsica. These birds are ground-nesting and mostly #grounddwellers, but #roost in trees. B. Andrews et al. (2023) discuss the #invasive history in #Chile and #Argentina.

  6. Thistle #Carduus #acanthoides is #native from Southern/Central #Europe to China and is a #neozoan i.a. in #NorthAmerica. It prefers moist, nitrogen-rich #soils, such as on #Teufelsberg #Berlin, and is #pollinated by bees/bumblebees and dispersed by the wind. E. S. J. Rauschert et al. (2015) studied the plants around it in #Pennsylvania (USA) and found that it affects the #speciescommunities.

  11. Last evening in #Berlin, I found a #beetle on my bicycle, a #scarab, which I thought is #nonnative. Rightly so, as #Mimela #junii is a #neozoan in Central Europe, native mainly to southern France/north Italy,. Adults feed on leaves, larvae on roots/decaying material in sandy soil. Thomaes, A. et al. (2022) demonstrate, using Belgium, that it's spread to Central/WesternEurope was likely due to #humantransport. #globalwarming.

  16. The #butterfly #Pieris #rapae (#Pierinae) is native to #Europe, Asia and North Africa. It is a #neozoan in North America since the 19th century and e.g. in Australia since the 20th.. In Central Europe, it has up to four #generations per year.
    Snell-Rood E.C. & Kobiela M.E. (2023) published a general protocol for controlled rearing making the species a #researchmodel.

  17. The #warmthloving #paperwasp #Polistes #dominula (Polistinae) was originally native to central/ southern Europe and Asia, but is increasingly spreading towards Scandinavia due to #globalwarming. In e.g. Australia and #NorthAmerica it occurs as #neozoan. 50 or more nest cells are created by one or several young #queens with the strongest subdueing its competitors. The wasp can be #parasitized by #Xenos #vesparum (#Strepsiptera).
