Incorporating adaptive genomic variation into predictive models for invasion risk assessment

Global climate change is expected to accelerate biological invasions,necessitating accurate risk fore-casting and management strategies.However,current invasion risk assessments often overlook adaptive genomic variation,which plays a significant role in the persistence and expansion of invasive pop-ulations.Here we used Molgula manhattensis,a highly invasive ascidian,as a model to assess its invasion risks along Chinese coasts under climate change.Through population genomics analyses,we identified two genetic clusters,the north and south clusters,based on geographic distributions.To predict invasion risks,we employed the gradient forest and species distribution models to calculate genomic offset and species habitat suitability,respectively.These approaches yielded distinct predictions:the gradient forest model suggested a greater genomic offset to future climatic conditions for the north cluster(i.e.,lower invasion risks),while the species distribution model indicated higher future habitat suitability for the same cluster(i.e,higher invasion risks).By integrating these models,we found that the south cluster exhibited minor genome-niche disruptions in the future,indicating higher invasion risks.Our study highlights the complementary roles of genomic offset and habitat suitability in assessing invasion risks under climate change.Moreover,incorporating adaptive genomic variation into predictive models can significantly enhance future invasion risk predictions and enable effective management strategies for biological invasions in the future.
