Biological invasions disrupt the relationship between size spectrum and trophic interactions in freshwater fish communities

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Our study shows that non‐native species alter the relationship between the size‐spectrum slope and the predator–prey mass ratio (PPMR) in freshwater fish communities by occupying distinct trophic niches. Abstract The size spectrum, which describes the relationship between abundance (or biomass) and body size, is an ataxic approach that can provide ...

FRESHWATER CRAYFISH IN SOUTH TYROL (ITALY): DISTRIBUTION AND PROTECTION MEASURES OF ENDANGERED AUSTROPOTAMOBIUS PALLIPE

open access: yesKnowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2002
Freshwater crayfish are among the most endangered animals in Europe. Information on freshwater crayfish in the Italian province of South Tyrol was insufficient until the recent studies on their historical and present distribution, which showed the ...

The Effects of Noise on the Juvenile Life Stage of Crustaceans: Behavioral, Cellular, and Molecular Responses in Procambarus clarkii

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Juvenile Procambarus clarkii exposed to noise exhibited behavioral changes, shifts in enzymatic activity, and altered expression of stress and immune genes. The findings highlight the sensitivity of invertebrate juveniles to anthropogenic acoustic pollution.

Update on the distribution of freshwater crayfish in Croatia

open access: yesKnowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2011
Four indigenous European and two non-indigenous American freshwater crayfish species inhabit Croatian freshwater habitats. Generally, the noble crayfish (Astacus astacus), the narrow-clawed crayfish (Astacus leptodactylus) and the stone crayfish ...

Changes in the Immunity, Histopathology, and Metabolism of Crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) in Response to Drought

open access: yesAnimals, 2022
Freshwater ecosystems are among the most threatened ecosystems on Earth. The freshwater biodiversity crisis has caused widespread global concern. Drought as one of the factors causing freshwater biodiversity is still poorly understood.

The collective application of shorebird tracking data to conservation

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Addressing urgent conservation issues, such as the drastic declines of North American migratory birds, requires creative, evidence‐based, efficient, and collaborative approaches. The abundance of over 50% of monitored North American shorebird populations has declined by over 50% since 1980. To address these declines, we developed a partnership

Spatial ecology of white-clawed crayfish Austropotamobius pallipes and signal crayfish Pacifastacus leniusculus in upland rivers, Northern England [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
The American signal crayfish Pacifastacus lernusculus, an invasive species widely introduced throughout Europe, is a major threat to native European crayfish species and is causing increasing concern because of its wide impact on aquatic ecosystems. This

The continuing spread of Pacifastacus leniusculus in Carinthia (Austria) [PDF]

open access: yesKnowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2009
Crayfish plague and introductions of non-indigenous freshwater crayfish species (NICS) have had major consequences for the survival of autochthonous crayfish populations in Europe.

Impacts of signal crayfish on stream fishes [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

Fine structure of the spermatozoon in three species of Cambaridae (Arthropoda: Crustacea: Decapoda) Cambarus robustus, Orconectes propinquus and Orconectes rusticus: a comparative biometrical study [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2016
The ultrastructure of spermatozoa in three species of cambarid crayfish, Cambarus robustus, Orconectes propinquus, and Orconectes rusticus, were studied and compared with eight previously studied species from different crayfish families using ...
