A good understanding of the mechanisms and magnitude of the impact of invasive alien
species on ecosystem services and biodiversity is a prerequisite for the efficient prioritisation …

The round goby Neogobius melanostomus is one of the most wide‐ranging invasive fish on
earth, with substantial introduced populations within the Laurentian Great Lakes watershed …

The extraction and characterization of DNA from aquatic environmental samples offers an
alternative, noninvasive approach for the detection of rare species. Environmental DNA …

Multivariate analyses are important tools for the biological assessment of ecological
communities. Despite the popularity of multivariate analyses in bioassessments, there is …

Few studies have systematically investigated differences in performance, morphology and
parasitic load of invaders at different stages of an invasion. This study analyzed phenotype …

Abstract Invasions of Ponto-Caspian gobiid fishes are suspected to cause regime shifts in
freshwater ecosystems. This study compared the trophic niche differentiations of Neogobius …

Invasions by alien species may cause a decline in populations of vulnerable protected
species through interference and resource competition. During the last decade, four invasive …

Invasive species are one of the greatest threats to biodiversity worldwide, and to
successfully manage their introductions is a major challenge for society. Knowledge on the …

Dispersal strategies are important mechanisms underlying the spatial distribution and
colonizing ability of all mobile species. In the current study, we use highly polymorphic …

Aim Environmental and biological characteristics interact in complex ways to determine
ecosystem susceptibility to invasive species, and a greater understanding of their relative …
