Abstract
Ecosystems provide benefits to humans, including provisioning, regulating, and cultural ser-vices. However, invasive species can threaten eco-system well-functioning and services provided. One invasive species with such potential is the New Zea-land mud snail (NZMS) Potamopyrgus antipodarum. The aims of this study are focused on the quantitative review of (1) the NZMS impacts on ecosystem prop-erties and their direct links with ecosystem services, and (2) the ecosystem services that can be affected by the NZMS. The high density reached by this spe-cies in most of the invaded ecosystems and its highly ompetitive ability affect ecosystem structure and functioning. However, some facilitation processes on native species may result in an improvement of some services. The NZMS tends to positively affect cultural services (88% positive cases) but negatively to provi-sioning services (77% of cases). Regarding, regulat-ing and maintenance services, the proportions of pos-itive and negative effects were similar (45% vs 36%, respectively). Therefore, the NZMS is a species with numerous negative impacts on ecosystem services. However, ecosystem services related to health (e.g., dilution effect against parasites) and research (e.g., biomonitoring) are cultural services that the NZMS can improve. No economic assessment of the impacts of the NZMS is available in the literature.
