Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2005 Although the stone crayfish, Austropotamobius torrentium (Schrank, 1803), is widespread in central and southeastern Europe, including Greece, it has not been recorded living deep inside caves before. Recently, however, it has been recorded from a variety

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 6, June 2026.Abstract River corridors are essential to life, but have been subjected to centuries of alteration, disconnection, and simplification. Process‐based river restoration has increased in recent years, with the goals of reversing degradation and reestablishing natural processes. Our objectives are twofold: (a) qualify the historic, ecologic, and geomorphic

Allochthonous chemical cues drive predation by a top carnivore
Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1698-1708, June 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Identifying the mechanisms by which mobile predators detect and select prey remains a central challenge in sensory biology and functional ecology. This study provides the first direct evidence that chemical cues associated with allochthonous organic matter (e.g.

Recent changes in distribution pattern of freshwater crayfish in Croatia − threats and perspectives
Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2018 Analysis of Croatian freshwater crayfish populations, aiming to gather new distributional data and complement previous surveys (2005–2011), was performed during 2014–2016, within the frame of Natura 2000 Integration Project.

Phylogenetically‐Informed Crayfish Conservation in the Face of Climate Change
Animal Conservation, Volume 29, Issue 3, Page 274-284, June 2026.Crayfish are a vital part of freshwater ecosystems, yet one third of assessed species are threatened with extinction, and almost 90% are highly sensitive to climate change. In this study, we produced a phylogenetically‐informed species prioritisation for crayfish conservation and explored the impacts of projected climate change scenarios on crayfish ...

AUSTROPOTAMOBIUS TORRENTIUM AS AN INDICATOR FOR HABITAT QUALITY IN RUNNING WATERS?
Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2005 In the present study we tried to quantify the indication value of A. torrentium referring to habitat quality. This variable is expressed as the availability of appropriate refuge stones on the bottom and banks of running waters.

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 6, June 2026.Illustration of key knowledge gaps and pathways linking fire ecology and freshwater ecosystems. Climate change provides the overarching context, interacting with cumulative and cross‐scale effects to shape local freshwater conditions. Within this context, fire characteristics influence three primary pathways within freshwater ecosystems: species and ...

Size‐Dependent Habitat Selection in a Tropical Freshwater Crayfish: Preference for Vegetated Refugia
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.Young freshwater crayfish need shelter to survive, but it is often unclear whether they actively choose safe habitats or simply remain where they are found. We show that craylings and juvenile red claw crayfish prefer vegetated habitats over bare sand or gravel, and that this preference becomes stronger as crayfish grow.
