Identifying knowledge gaps about context dependency in freshwater species invasions
Oikos, EarlyView.The abiotic template of freshwater ecosystems is being altered by human activity on a global scale, often promoting the establishment of new invasive taxa and increasing the likelihood of facilitation between invaders. These positive interactions represent a substantive threat to freshwater ecosystems by promoting the establishment and persistence of ...

Assessing the vulnerability of freshwater crayfish to climate change
Diversity and Distributions: A journal of biological invasions and biodiversity, 2018 Climate change is a major threat to the persistence of biodiversity. Global assessments highlight the most climate vulnerable species and geographic regions based on species traits and measures of exposure to climate change.

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Sympatric bat species can co‐exist and avoid interspecific competition via niche differentiation e.g. diet. Detecting dietary differences can be achieved by comparing dietary niches of sympatric and allopatric populations. If dietary overlap is higher in sympatry versus allopatry, co‐occurrence may be altering the dietary niche of the species.

Phylogenetically‐Informed Crayfish Conservation in the Face of Climate Change
Animal Conservation, EarlyView.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 ...

Flooding affects fluctuating asymmetry but not growth of a riparian orbweaving spider
Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.In a mesocosm experiment we assessed the impact of flood on aquatic insect emergence and on spider development using geometric morphometric analysis of fluctuating asymmetry. We observed 45% higher emergence in flooded mesocosm throughout the season. Spiders did not grow bigger but exhibited ~15% lower fluctuating asymmetry than in controls.

Distribution, Habitat, and Life History Aspects of the Dwarf Crayfishes of the Genus Cambarellus (Decapoda: Cambaridae) in Arkansas [PDF]
, 2019 The dwarf crayfishes of the genus Cambarellus are represented in Arkansas by only 2 species: Cambarellus (Pandicambarus) puer (Hobbs) and C. (P.) shufeldtii (Faxon). Both species are quite small and uncommonly encountered in the state.
