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

open access: yesAquatic 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)

open access: yesLimnology 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

open access: yesWIREs 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

Feeding specialization and activity in certain mangrove crabs [PDF]

open access: yes, 1994
Decapoda is surely one of the most important taxa, both regarding the number of species and individuals, in the macrofauna of the mangrove ecosystem (Macnae, 1968; Macintosh, 1988).

Taming the terminological tempest in invasion science

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 99, Issue 4, Page 1357-1390, August 2024.
ABSTRACT Standardised terminology in science is important for clarity of interpretation and communication. In invasion science – a dynamic and rapidly evolving discipline – the proliferation of technical terminology has lacked a standardised framework for its development.

The impact of streetlights on an aquatic invasive species: artificial light at night alters signal crayfish behaviour [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Artificial light at night (ALAN) can significantly alter the behaviour, communication and orientation of animals, and will potentially interact with other stressors to affect biodiversity.

Der Edelkrebs (Astacus astacus) im Kreis Höxter [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Bis Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts waren in den Gewässern Deutschlands drei Flusskrebsarten beheimatet. Während der Edelkrebs (Astacus astacus; Abb. 1) ursprünglich in ganz Deutschland anzutreffen war, beschränkten sich die Vorkommen des Dohlenkrebses ...
