The first record of translocated white-clawed crayfish from the Austropotamobius pallipes complex in Sardinia (Italy)

Journal of Limnology, 2015
The white-clawed crayfish Austropotamobius pallipes complex is native to Europe, being present in 18 European countries, Italy included. However, the number and abundance of its populations are today restricted and it has been recently classified as ...

Going to the archives: Combining palaeoecological and contemporary data to support river restoration appraisals

River Research and Applications, Volume 41, Issue 1, Page 23-36, January 2025.
Abstract River restoration practices are being increasingly implemented to help offset the global degradation of freshwater ecosystems. The ecological success of such projects is typically determined via post‐project appraisals comparing restored conditions against specified baselines (e.g., pre‐project and/or non‐restored data), but such approaches ...

When Methodological Innovation Changes the Game: A 10‐Year Review of Environmental DNA (eDNA) Applied to Crayfish

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 34, Issue 9, September 2024.
ABSTRACT The use of environmental DNA (eDNA) as a tool for monitoring represents a major innovative advance in environmental science, one that enables the detection of species without the need to observe or capture them. This article assesses the state of play of eDNA research targeting crayfish.

Evaluating the eDNA spatial signal in natural populations and its application for the monitoring of the threatened Harttiella (Siluriformes, Loricariidae)

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, Volume 22, Issue 9, Page 660-669, September 2024.
Abstract To face the current downward trajectory of freshwater biodiversity loss, the implementation of effective biodiversity monitoring programs is of utmost importance. Environmental DNA offers unprecedented opportunities for this aim but several challenges still need to be addressed before implementing efficient species monitoring using eDNA.

The effects of drought on biodiversity in UK river ecosystems: Drying rivers in a wet country

WIREs Water, Volume 11, Issue 5, September/October 2024.
Biodiversity in UK river ecosystems has, to date, proven resilient to drought, with communities recovering within weeks to years. But future droughts could be hotter, drier and more frequent, and could start and end faster, which could cause communities to shift to alternative, species‐poor and functionally simplified states. Abstract Climate change is
