Over-invasion in a freshwater ecosystem: newly introduced virile crayfish (Orconectes virilis) outcompete established invasive signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus)

, 2016
Biological invasions are a key threat to freshwater biodiversity, and identifying determinants of invasion success is a global conservation priority.

Environmental DNA can inform the trade‐off between proactive and reactive strategies for crayfish conservation

Environmental DNA
The introduction of the signal crayfish Pacifastacus leniusculus to British rivers has led to ecological degradation and the decline of the native white‐clawed crayfish Austropotamobius pallipes.

Neural events underlying escape swimming behaviour in the squat lobster 'Galathea strigosa' (Crustacea, Anomura) [PDF]

, 2012
1. The anatomy and physiology of escape swimming behaviour in the squat lobster, Galathea strigosa, have been investigated and the results discussed in the context of comparative mechanisms of escape in rela~ed species. 2.

Invasive dynamics of the signal crayfish Pacifastacus leniusculus in a protected area

Invasive species have been drivers of biodiversity loss and functional changes in aquatic ecosystems, including in protected areas. Therefore, monitoring population invasion dynamics and biological traits is fundamental to better understand their ...
