Habitat complexity describes a wide array of spatial distribution patterns of physical
structures in habitats. It affects aquatic ecosystems on multiple levels from individuals (eg …

Efficient management and prevention of species invasions requires accurate prediction of
where species of concern can arrive and persist. Species distribution models provide one …

Biological invasions remain one of the most pressing threats to biodiversity globally, with
unprecedented rates of establishment that are unlikely to abate in the future. As such the …

Aquatic invasions are a major ecological and socio-economic concern. Management of
invasive aquatic populations requires a robust understanding of the effectiveness and …

As acute stress induced by predation risk can generate significant oxidative damage, prey
organisms are forced to balance their defence reaction and the cost of activating the cellular …

The invasive amphipod Dikerogammarus villosus is assumed to threaten native biodiversity
in rivers. In spite of small-scale experiments and field observations, its impact on natural …

Assessment of individual costs of the anti-predator defence translating into changes in
population parameters is meagre. This is because prey responses are likely to be …

Abstract [eng] Dikerogammarus villosus, an amphipod of Ponto-Caspian origin, has recently
and rapidly spread along Baltic coastal lagoons and estuaries. By 2016 it had invaded …

Studying interactions among co‐evolved invaders might help us in understanding,
predicting, and perhaps mitigating the impact of the invading species on the native biota …

Predators shape prey populations by elimination of individuals (consumptive effects) and by
inducing modifications in prey behaviour, physiology or morphology (NCE—non …
