Invaders, natives and their enemies: distribution patterns of amphipods and their microsporidian parasites in the Ruhr Metropolis, Germany

Parasites & Vectors, 2015
Background The amphipod and microsporidian diversity in freshwaters of a heterogeneous urban region in Germany was assessed. Indigenous and non-indigenous host species provide an ideal framework to test general hypotheses on potentially new host-parasite

The enlargement of the Suez Canal and introduction of non-indigenous species to the Mediterranean Sea [PDF]

, 2015
The Suez Canal is one of the most important waterways in the world – during the last year 17,148 ships passed through the Canal – reducing emissions, saving time, and operating costs to shippers. The rapid increase in ship size from the “Post-Suezmax” (>

Differences in stress tolerance and brood size between a non-indigenous and an indigenous gammarid in the northern Baltic Sea [PDF]

, 2011
Differences in stress tolerance and reproductive traits may drive the competitive hierarchy between nonindigenous and indigenous species and turn the former ones into successful invaders.

Non-indigenous invertebrates, fish and macrophytes in Lake Garda (Italy)

Journal of Limnology, 2011
As observed in many countries, lakes are involved in an important process of colonization by non-indigenous species (NIS). Since 1725, 37 species of non-indigenous fish, invertebrates and macrophytes have been recorded in Lake Garda, the largest Italian ...

Invasive Ponto-Caspian amphipods and fish increase the distribution range of the acanthocephalan Pomphorhynchus tereticollis in the river Rhine. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Non-indigenous species that become invasive are one of the main drivers of biodiversity loss worldwide. In various freshwater systems in Europe, populations of native amphipods and fish are progressively displaced by highly adaptive non-indigenous ...
