Freshwater ecosystems are invaded by a non‐random selection of taxa, among which
crayfish stand out with successful examples worldwide. Species distribution models (SDMs) …

The introduction of invasive crayfish has led to a decline of many European native species of
crayfish across their range. In this study, novel duplex assays for all crayfish occurring in …

Background Long-term biomonitoring of macroinvertebrates is a popular and valuable
approach for assessing the status of freshwater ecosystems, identifying the impact of …

Europe has experienced a substantial increase in non-indigenous crayfish species (NICS)
since the mid-20th century due to their extensive use in fisheries, aquaculture and, more …

Introduced alien species are associated with lower taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic
diversity of native communities and negative impacts on ecosystem functioning. This is …

Biological invasions could have major implications for the management and conservation of
freshwater systems if they lead to a misclassification of waterbodies. However, there is …

Predatory, non‐native fauna can influence biodiversity and trophic dynamics in invaded
ecosystems. Signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) are a highly successful invader …

The nature and extent of effects of increasing densities of non‐native species on stream
ecosystems remain poorly understood. Non‐native crayfish are among the most invasive …

In order to understand the community characteristics of macroinvertebrates in Qingyijiang
River, a survey was conducted in September 2020 and July 2021. In this paper, the change …

Biological invasions represent one of the main contemporary pressures facing freshwater
ecosystems, and a better understanding of invasive species potential distributions is …
