New insights into the genetic diversity of the stone crayfish: taxonomic and conservation implications [PDF]

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2020
Background Austropotamobius torrentium is a freshwater crayfish species native to central and south-eastern Europe, with an intricate evolutionary history and the highest genetic diversity recorded in the northern-central Dinarides (NCD). Its populations

The impacts of biological invasions. [PDF]

Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

GENETIC COMPARISONS OF GERMAN POPULATIONS OF THE STONE CRAYFISH, AUSTROPOTAMOBIUS TORRENTIUM (CRUSTACEA: ASTACIDAE)

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems: an International Journal on Aquatic Ecosystems, 2006
Austropotamobius torrentium (SCHRANK, 1803) is the smallest of the European native crayfish species and has probably never been of economic interest. It is confined to headwaters and adapted to cold water with high flow through and rocky environments ...

Climate change threatens unique genetic diversity within the Balkan biodiversity hotspot – The case of the endangered stone crayfish

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2022
The stone crayfish Austropotamobius torrentium is globally endangered due to anthropogenic pressure on its habitats, climate change and the invasive crayfish species, particularly the signal crayfish Pacifastacus leniusculus.

The spread of non-native species. [PDF]

Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc
ABSTRACT The global redistribution of species through human agency is one of the defining ecological signatures of the Anthropocene, with biological invasions reshaping biodiversity patterns, ecosystem processes and services, and species interactions globally.

The assessment of the habitat and water quality requirements of the stone crayfish (Austropotamobius torrentium) and noble crayfish (Astacus astacus) species in the rivers from the Anina Mountains (SW Romania)

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2011
The species Austropotamobius torrentium and Astacus astacus are two species known in the EU directives to require deeper understanding of their autecologic requirements before any sustainable conservation effort could be successfully applied.

Potential impacts of invasive crayfish on native benthic fish: shelter use and agonistic behaviour [PDF]

NeoBiota, 2023
Spinycheek crayfish (Faxonius limosus) and signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) are successful North American invasive crayfish species distributed throughout Europe. Both species compete with native benthic fish for shelter.

First record of the stone crayfish in the Romanian lowlands

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2021
The stone crayfish is a native European freshwater species with significant population declines caused by anthropogenic pressure onto its habitats, climate change and spreading of non-indigenous invasive crayfish and their pathogens (e.g., Aphanomyces ...
