The spread of non‐native species

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1197-1234, June 2026.
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.

Phylogenetically‐Informed Crayfish Conservation in the Face of Climate Change

Animal Conservation, Volume 29, Issue 3, Page 274-284, June 2026.
Crayfish are a vital part of freshwater ecosystems, yet one third of assessed species are threatened with extinction, and almost 90% are highly sensitive to climate change. In this study, we produced a phylogenetically‐informed species prioritisation for crayfish conservation and explored the impacts of projected climate change scenarios on crayfish ...

Molecular Characterisation of Endangered White‐Clawed Crayfish Populations in Southern Switzerland

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the phylogeography of the endangered European White‐Clawed Crayfish (WCC) Austropotamobius pallipes species complex in the main tributaries of the Po River basin in southern Switzerland and northern Italy, a diversity hotspot for this species.

Remobilisation of fine sediment from chalk stream gravel beds under flushing flows: A flume experiment

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 3, March 2026.
Through progressive flume experiments, this study demonstrated that increased bed shear stresses corresponded with increased cohesive fine sediment (<62‐μm) remobilisation depths from a representative chalk stream gravel bed. This represents some of the first scientifically robust data, which can direct revised and targeted fine sediment management in ...

Distribution and biometry of native and alien crayfish in Trentino (Italian Alps)

Journal of Limnology, 2013
To fill the existing gaps in the knowledge of the crayfish species distribution in Trentino region (North-East Italy), we surveyed fourteen lakes, six ponds and sixty-nine creeks and streams in 2010-2012.

Impacts of signal crayfish on stream fishes [PDF]

, 2013
Invasive species cause biodiversity and economic loss globally. Invasive crayfish have a wide range of effects as a result of their high densities and biomass, feeding at multiple trophic levels, aggressive competition for shelter and ecosystem ...

Extending sampling approaches for great crested newt (Triturus cristatus) eDNA monitoring

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 4, October–December 2025.
Environmental DNA (eDNA) monitoring has been used for great crested newt (Triturus cristatus) survey in the UK since the publication of a Defra‐funded trial in 2014 and approval of a regulated protocol. Our study provides evidence that changes to this protocol, including use of filtration for eDNA capture and permitting eDNA surveys in July and August,
