Are the effects of an invasive crayfish on lake littoral macroinvertebrate communities consistent over time?

open access: yesKnowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2016
Management of invasive species requires assessment of their effects on recipient ecosystems. However, impact assessment of invasive species commonly lacks a long-term perspective which can potentially lead to false conclusions.

Economic incentives contribute little to reducing agricultural damage from invasive non‐native species: evidence from raccoon management in Hokkaido, Japan

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals the nonsignificant effects of economic incentives reducing crop damage by raccoons. Our results also show that while these incentives increase the number of captured raccoons, the additional captures fail to result in measurable reductions in agricultural damage. Abstract BACKGROUND An economic incentive scheme is utilized to enhance

The Role of Māori Values in Corporate Culture and CSR: A Comparative Study in Aotearoa‐New Zealand's Fishing Industry

open access: yesSystems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study explores the interaction of organisational culture, corporate social responsibility (CSR) and Indigenous values in Aotearoa‐New Zealand's fishing industry, focusing on Māori‐owned and non–Māori‐owned companies. It reveals how Māori values shape company culture and how CSR aligns with them. Using Hofstede's cultural dimensions theory,

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

open access: yesKnowledge 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.

Dietary differentiation of two co‐occurring common bat species (Eptesicus nilssonii and Pipistrellus pygmaeus)

open access: yesWildlife 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.

Dispersal and coexistence of two non-native crayfish species (Pacifastacus leniusculus and Procambarus clarkii) in NE Portugal over a 10-year period

open access: yesKnowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2011
NE Portugal is one of the most isolated and low populated regions of Western Europe. Recently, two American crayfish species reached this area: signal crayfish Pacifastacus leniusculus coming from Spain and red swamp crayfish Procambarus clarkii in its ...

Acute toxicity of two pyrethroid insecticides for five non-indigenous crayfish species in Europe

open access: yesVeterinární Medicína, 2019
Pyrethroid insecticides are highly toxic to many aquatic organisms. The aim of this study was to evaluate the toxicity of the commercial products Cyperkill 25 EC (active compound 250 g/l cypermethrin) and Decis Mega (active compound 50 g/l deltamethrin ...

Assessing the Presence, Pattern, and Environmental Correlates of Seasonal Skin Thickening in Anurans

open access: yesIntegrative 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

Warming and latitude shape the non-consumptive effects of native and invasive alien crayfish predators on damselfly prey [PDF]

open access: yesNeoBiota
There is increasing concern that the effects of biological invasions may be magnified by other human-induced global changes. Here, we compare the non-consumptive effects imposed by invasive vs.

Revealing the Diverse Allergenic Protein Repertoire of Six Widely Consumed Crab Species: A Species‐Specific Allergen in King Crab

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
This study comprehended the allergen profiles of six edible crab species using proteomic and transcriptomic analyses and identified 11 putative allergens. King crab has a distinct protein and allergen profile, with the discovery of malate dehydrogenase as a novel king crab‐specific allergen registered as Para c 11.
