N-Nitrosodimethylamine as an Emerging Environmental Contaminant: Sources, Analytical Advances, and Ecotoxicological and Human Health Risks. [PDF]

Int J Anal Chem
Over the last few years, N‐nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) has become a significant environmental contaminant with both anthropogenic and natural sources. The alarming profile of it can be explained by the fact that it is a genotoxic substance and easily spreads through the atmospheric and water systems. The production of NDMA takes place through a variety

Better Alone Than in Bad Company: Trophic Ecology of Co-Occurring Invasive and Native Crayfish. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study investigated and compared trophic interactions between invasive signal crayfish and native white‐clawed crayfish at sites of co‐occurrence and in allopatry. The presence of crayfish plague, body condition, and trophic niche traits were explored as possible factors that make invasive signal crayfish a strong competitor, enhancing its ...

Evaluation of the pollution pressures posed by groups of chemicals on British riverine invertebrate populations. [PDF]

Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc
ABSTRACT Globally, rivers receive a diverse range of chemicals, including metals, pesticides, persistent organic pollutants, petrochemicals, human and veterinary pharmaceuticals and personal care products. However, the extent to which these different chemical groups affect riverine invertebrate communities is not well defined.

<i>Procambarus virginalis</i> Lyko, 2017: A new threat to Iberian inland waters. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We provide the first record of Procambarus virginalis in the Iberian Peninsula, based on morphological and genetic evidence (molecular barcoding of COI). We discuss its most plausible introduction pathways, update its global geographical distribution, highlight the potential impacts if it becomes invasive in Iberia and recommend some proposal ...

Placement matters: Implications of trail- versus random-based camera-trap deployment for monitoring mammal communities. [PDF]

Ecol Appl
Abstract Optimizing protocols to assess and monitor mammal communities is essential to meet the current biodiversity targets of halting species loss. Camera‐traps are the most effective tool for multispecies monitoring, yet their deployment strategy is debated, with two main strategies adopted: trail‐ and random‐based camera deployment.

Influence of distance from source population and seasonality in eDNA detection of white‐clawed crayfish, through qPCR and ddPCR assays

Environmental DNA, 2023
The white‐clawed crayfish (Austropotamobius pallipes) is an emblematic taxon of European rivers, found mainly in oxygenated streams, known to be an excellent indicator of river quality. Since several decades, the population of A.

The spread of non-native species. [PDF]

Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc
ABSTRACT The global redistribution of species through human agency is one of the defining ecological signatures of the Anthropocene, with biological invasions reshaping biodiversity patterns, ecosystem processes and services, and species interactions globally.

THE GENUS AUSTROPOTAMOBIUS IN THE AUSSERFERN REGION (TYROL, AUSTRIA) WITH AN OVERLAP IN THE DISTRIBUTION OF A. TORRENTIUM AND A. PALLIPES POPULATIONS

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2006
Native populations of the stone crayfish Austropotamobius torrentium in Tyrol (Austria) are restricted to the region of Außerfern, where the lake “Haldensee” and the river “Archbach” are known to hold intact populations.

How Raccoons Could Lead to the Disappearance of Native Crayfish in Central Italy

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
The white-clawed crayfish Austropotamobius pallipes complex populations are decreasing in the Foreste Casentinesi, Monte Falterona and Campigna National Park (Central Italy), due to several factors, including illegal poaching, predatory fishes, drought ...

FIRST RESULTS ABOUT TOPOISOMERASE ACTIVITY IN ASTACUS ASTACUS AND AUSTROPOTAMOBIUS PALLIPES AS A BIOMARKER FOR CRAYFISH VIABILITY

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2004
A comparative study of topoisomerase activity in two European crayfish species Astacus astacus and Austropotamobius pallipes was carried out to determine the physiological basis of the difference in ecological fitness of these systematically related ...
