Seasonal and spatial variation in growth and abundance of zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) in a recently invaded lake: implications for management

This study examines seasonal and spatial variations in zebra mussel growth and abundance in a UK lake, identifying density-dependent mechanisms and suggesting management strategies.

Predator recognition and anti-predatory behaviour in a recent aquatic invader, the killer shrimp (Dikerogammarus villosus)

The study examines predator recognition and anti-predatory behavior in killer shrimp exposed to fish kairomones, finding increased hiding time but no change in aggregation behavior.

Experimental evidence of invasion facilitation in the zebra mussel-killer shrimp system

The paper tests if zebra mussels facilitate killer shrimp establishment through substrate and chemical cues, finding attraction to mussel substrates and scents but no learned behavior.

Trophic plasticity of the highly invasive topmouth gudgeon (Pseudorasbora parva) inferred from stable isotope analysis

This study uses stable isotope analysis to examine the trophic plasticity of the invasive topmouth gudgeon in different aquatic systems, finding significant variation in diet and trophic position.

Monitoring the eradication of the highly invasive topmouth gudgeon (Pseudorasbora parva) using a novel eDNA assay

The paper evaluates the effectiveness of a novel eDNA-qPCR assay in monitoring the eradication of topmouth gudgeon in treated ponds.
