Unraveling multipredator impacts in salmon‐bearing rivers using quantitative DNA metabarcoding

Ecological Applications, Volume 35, Issue 8, December 2025.
Abstract Ecological impacts of invasive species are mounting as their numbers and geographic extent continue to increase. Across extensive parts of their range, Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) smolts face an expanding gauntlet of nonnative predators during their seaward migration.

Decoupled conservatism of Grinnellian and Eltonian niches in an invasive arthropod

Ecosphere, 2010
Whether a species niche is conserved or shifts across space and time is a question of heightened interest in ecology and evolution. Considerable scientific inquiry into this topic has used invasive species to evaluate conservatism of the Grinnellian ...

Biological invasions: a global assessment of geographic distributions, long‐term trends, and data gaps

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2542-2583, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Biological invasions are one of the major drivers of biodiversity decline and have been shown to have far‐reaching consequences for society and the economy. Preventing the introduction and spread of alien species represents the most effective solution to reducing their impacts on nature and human well‐being.

BIOCIDE TREATMENT OF PONDS IN SCOTLAND TO ERADICATE SIGNAL CRAYFISH

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2006
This trial aimed to eradicate illegally introduced signal crayfish Pacifastacus leniusculus in the North Esk catchment, Scotland. Sites treated were (1) an isolated gravel-pit (c. 9,000 m3), with crayfish present for 6 years; (2) three dammed ponds, (c.

Environmental DNA as a tool for hydropower impact assessments: current status, special considerations, and future integration

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2584-2607, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Globally there is an urgent need to find sustainable solutions to balance energy production with the protection of vulnerable species and conservation of biodiversity. This is particularly critical for freshwater ecosystems, habitats, and species that may be impacted by hydropower development and operations needed to meet energy grid demands ...

Design and Validation of a Single‐Species Environmental DNA qPCR Assay for the Detection of the Invasive Chinese Mitten Crab Eriocheir sinensis

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 5, September–October 2025.
The Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis) is considered amongst the most damaging invasive species globally; however, the UK distribution of the species is not well known, with current management protocols reliant on reports of individual sightings. In this study, the first probe‐based, species‐specific qPCR assay was developed for the detection of ...

A COMPARISON OF SURVIVAL AND GROWTH IN JUVENILE ASTACUS LEPTODACTYLUS (ESCH.) AND PACIFASTACUS LENIUSCULUS (DANA) UNDER CONTROLLED CONDITIONS

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2006
The aim of this study was to compare survival and growth of juvenile narrow-clawed crayfish (Astacus leptodactylus) and signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) fed only with experimental pellets (45% of proteins, 6% of fat, 20% crude fibre) under ...

Impacts of the North American signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) on European ecosystems [PDF]

Environmental Sciences Europe, 2015
As a vector of the crayfish plague (Aphanomyces astaci), invasive crayfish pose a major threat to endemic crayfish species in Europe. But do they affect whole ecosystems and fish species as well? A comprehensive review was done using online search engines on current literature to elucidate possible crayfish effects.
