The mycobiome of a successful crayfish invader and its changes along the environmental gradient
Animal Microbiome, 2023 Background The microbiome plays an important role in biological invasions, since it affects various interactions between host and environment. However, most studies focus on the bacteriome, insufficiently addressing other components of the microbiome ...

A Systematic Review of Participatory Science Approaches in K–12 Ecological Monitoring
Science Education, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Participatory science has emerged as a vital educational approach for engaging K–12 learners in authentic scientific inquiry while generating data for ecological monitoring. This systematic review synthesizes 72 empirical studies published between 2006 and 2025 that involved K–12 students in ecological monitoring projects.

Personality, density and habitat drive the dispersal of invasive crayfish
Scientific Reports, 2022 There is increasing evidence that personality traits may drive dispersal patterns of animals, including invasive species. We investigated, using the widespread signal crayfish Pacifastacus leniusculus as a model invasive species, whether effects of ...

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Climate change and anthropogenic ignitions are intensifying wildfire frequency worldwide, elevating the risk of freshwater contamination by ash. In water, dissolved ash releases ions and other toxic constituents that increase pH and alter physicochemical conditions, while suspended ash particles may impose mechanical stress, disrupt behavior ...

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.We show that nutrient excretion by vertebrates and invertebrates varies nonlinearly with dissolved organic matter concentration and composition and by taxonomic rank, with stronger patterns at the individual compared to the community level. Our findings highlight the importance of examining animal‐mediated nutrient cycling across taxa and ecological ...

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 ...

Assessing the Presence, Pattern, and Environmental Correlates of Seasonal Skin Thickening in Anurans
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Histological sections, like that of the ventral pectoral skin of Lithobates pipiens, were measured to assess variation in skin thickness throughout the year in three North American anuran species. After correcting for individual body size, we test whether skin thickness changes throughout the year and which factors (environment or life history) explain

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

Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Biological invasions are a serious problem in natural ecosystems. Local species that are potential prey of invasive alien predators can be threatened by their inability to recognize invasive predator cues.

Integrative 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.
