Quantitative Metabarcoding Reveals the Effects of Ecological Factors and Invasive Species on Functional Diversity of Freshwater Insects

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Aquatic insects are the most biodiverse freshwater animals. DNA metabarcoding data are increasingly used to assess variation in insect communities, but they are rarely integrated with information on the abundance or biomass of different taxa that can provide key insights into their functional responses.

Dispersal and coexistence of two non-native crayfish species (Pacifastacus leniusculus and Procambarus clarkii ) in NE Portugal over a 10-year period [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
NE Portugal is one of the most isolated and low populated regions of Western Europe. Recently, two American crayfish species reached this area: signal crayfish Pacifastacus leniusculus coming from Spain and red swamp crayfish Procambarus clarkii in its ...

Temporal variation in the prevalence of the crayfish plague pathogen, Aphanomyces astaci, in three Czech spiny-cheek crayfish populations

open access: yesKnowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2011
North American crayfish species are natural hosts of the crayfish plague pathogen Aphanomyces astaci. The spiny-cheek crayfish Orconectes limosus, widespread in Central Europe, is the main reservoir of A.

Muddied waters: suspended sediment impacts on gill structure and aerobic scope in an endangered native and an invasive freshwater crayfish [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Suspended sediment (SS) loadings in freshwater habitats have increased over the past century and SS is now a significant environmental stressor. Greater tolerance to environmental stressors has been proposed as a factor in the success of aquatic invasive

Commensal bacteria from crayfish cuticle and their potential significance in biocontrol of causative agent of crayfish plague [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Patogeni iz razreda Oomycetes sve su veća prijetnja za biljne i životinjske vrste. Među njima je patogen Aphanomyces astaci (Schikora, 1906), uzročnik bolesti račje kuge, koji je uvršten na popis 100 najopasnijih invazivnih vrsta svijeta.

Biological invasions: a global assessment of geographic distributions, long‐term trends, and data gaps

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2542-2583, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Biological invasions are one of the major drivers of biodiversity decline and have been shown to have far‐reaching consequences for society and the economy. Preventing the introduction and spread of alien species represents the most effective solution to reducing their impacts on nature and human well‐being.

Design and Validation of a Single‐Species Environmental DNA qPCR Assay for the Detection of the Invasive Chinese Mitten Crab Eriocheir sinensis

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 5, September–October 2025.
The Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis) is considered amongst the most damaging invasive species globally; however, the UK distribution of the species is not well known, with current management protocols reliant on reports of individual sightings. In this study, the first probe‐based, species‐specific qPCR assay was developed for the detection of ...

Non‐Invasive Monitoring of Tetracapsuloides bryosalmonae by eDNA: Influencing Environmental Parameters

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 5, September–October 2025.
We investigated influencing environmental factors on a previously developed eDNA‐based detection protocol for T. bryosalmonae. Specifically, water and air temperature, precipitation as well as bryozon presence and infection status were evaluated. Recommendations for a future eDNA‐based monitoring of T. bryosalmonae are provided.
