The Bait Industry as a Potential Vector for Alien Crayfish Introductions: Problem Recognition by Fisheries Agencies and a Missouri Evaluation (2009, background): “rusticus commonly reaches high densities in introduction locations, resulting in displacement of native crayfishes (Momot 1996; Taylor and Redmer 1996; Olden et al. 2006), destruction of important macrophyte beds and decreased macrophyte species richness (Wilson et al.”
The profile of a 'perfect' invader - the case of killer shrimp, Dikerogammarus villosus (2014, background): “Thus detailed knowledge on the life history of an invader is crucial for estimating the likely invasion success of the invader (Olden et al. 2006).”
A paradox of trout invasions in North America (2008, background): “Possible examples include cheat grass (Bromus tectorum) that has invaded grasslands throughout the western US (Mack 1981), and zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha; Kraft and Johnson 2000; Drake and Bossenbroek 2004) and rusty crayfish (Orconectes rusticus; Olden et al. 2006) that are invading even pr”
Alien species in fresh waters: ecological effects, interactions with other stressors, and prospects for the future (2010, background): “It is aggressive, and displaces or kills native crayfish (Klocker & Strayer, 2004; Olden et al., 2006a,b; and references therein).”
