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 ...

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

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.

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.

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 ...

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.
