Humans have effectively transported thousands of species around the globe and, with
accelerated trade; the rate of introductions has increased over time. Aquatic ecosystems …

The exponential increase in species introductions during the Anthropocene has brought
about a major loss of biodiversity. Amphibians have suffered large declines, with more than …

Extreme weather events (EWEs; for example, heatwaves, cold spells, storms, floods and
droughts) and non-native species invasions are two major threats to global biodiversity and …

Since the first documented declines of amphibian species, researchers have learned how
nonnative species can depress amphibian populations and lead to local extinctions. Here …

Protected areas like national parks are essential elements of conservation because they
limit human influence on the landscape, which protects biodiversity and ecosystem function …

Non-native crayfish can dominate the invertebrate biomass of invaded freshwaters, with their
high ecological impacts resulting in their populations being controlled by numerous …

Amphibians are an exemplary case of the current biodiversity crisis, being among the
vertebrates suffering the fastest decline. Population dynamics of amphibians can result from …

Management aimed at reducing the population sizes of established invasive species can be
beneficial for the conservation of native species. Crayfish are some of the most widespread …

The invasive red swamp crayfish poses a significant threat to physical habitat quality and
biodiversity of aquatic communities in western US streams. With no natural predators or …

Non-native species having high per capita impacts in invaded communities are those that
modulate resource availability and alter disturbance regimes in ways that are biologically …
