Resilience of riparian spiders to floods: evidence from a mesocosm study
Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 2, Page 393-403, March 2026.Mesocosm experiment to assess the impact of flood duration on flood‐naïve riparian spider communities. In May, spider richness decreased with flood duration, while in June, flood duration increased abundance, richness and promoted wetland specialists. Flood‐naïve riparian spiders unexpectedly appear highly resilient to flooding.

The Prevalence of Crayfish Plague (Aphanomyces Astaci) in Two Signal Crayfish (Pacifastacus Leniusculus) Populations in Finland [PDF]
Journal of Crustacean Biology, 2000 Abstract The occurrence of dark brown melanized spots indicative of the presence of crayfish plague fungus (Aphanomyces astaci Schikora) was investigated in three Finnish lakes inhabited by the introduced American signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus Dana) in 1979, 1983, 1985–1988, 1990, 1993, and 1994. The crayfish were caught with crayfish traps

Redclaw Crayfish: Challenge or Resource? Voices of Fishers in Zambia
Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT Invasive species severely threaten biodiversity, ecosystem stability and local livelihoods, especially in vulnerable areas. Therefore, understanding community perceptions is vital for creating effective and inclusive management strategies. This study investigated perceived environmental and economic impacts of the invasive, Redclaw crayfish ...

Impact of climate change mitigation strategies in rice farming on agroecosystem multifunctionality
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 2, February 2026.These results suggest that, from a landscape management perspective, implementing a single irrigation strategy at large spatial scales should be discouraged due to potential negative effects on particular sets of ES components. Conversely, a mosaic of irrigation strategies should be implemented, promoting ES components aligned with site‐specific ...

Preventing the next invasion: Lessons from aquaculture for the safe expansion of insect farming
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 2, February 2026.We argue that preemptive risk assessments, species screening and transferable, adaptive regulatory frameworks developed for aquaculture offer a critical foundation for safeguarding against insect#x02010;driven invasions. Proactive governance that embeds these safeguards before large#x02010;scale expansion offers a rare opportunity to prevent invasion ...

Have the environmental benefits of insect farming been overstated? A critical review
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 163-194, February 2026.ABSTRACT Insect farming is frequently promoted as a sustainable food solution, yet current evidence challenges many environmental benefits claimed by industry proponents. This review critically examines the scientific foundation for assessing the environmental impacts of insect farming in both human food and animal feed applications.

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT Invasive non‐native species threaten freshwater ecosystems, disrupting the functioning and structure of the food chain and potentially leading to biodiversity loss. As omnivores, crayfish can modify their environment, directly affecting organisms such as macroinvertebrates.
