The rapid spread of rusty crayfish (Orconectes rusticus) with observations on native crayfish declines in Wisconsin (U.S.A.) over the past 130 years (2006, background): “In this region, rusty crayfish invasions have been associated with negative effects on benthic algae (Charlebois and Lamberti 1996), macrophytes (Lodge and Lorman 1987), aquatic invertebrates and snails (Olsen et al. 1991) and fish ( Wilson et al. 2004 ), in addition to displacing and hybridizing wi”
Aquatic and terrestrial drivers of dragonfly (Odonata) assemblages within and among north-temperate lakes (2009, background): “Furthermore, invasion by rusty crayﬁsh ( Orconectes rusticus ) leads to severe macrophyte reduction in north-temperate lakes (Wilson et al. 2004) and might indirectly reduce odonate diversity and density.”
Intensive trapping and increased fish predation cause massive population decline of an invasive crayfish (2007, unknown): “Rusty crayfish often reach high densities and alter aquatic systems through direct consumption of macrophytes, benthic invertebrates and fish eggs (Magnuson et al., 1975; Olsen et al., 1991; Wilson et al., 2004; McCarthy et al., 2006; Roth, Hein & Vander Zanden, 2006; Wilson & Hrabik, 2006).”
Competitive exclusion after invasion? (2008, background): “In the literature, we were able to find just a few longterm studies that, in a large-scale ecosystem, followed the consequences arising from an invasion, and that also provided evidence of competitive exclusion during the process (Wilson et al. 2004; Geiger et al. 2005).”
Understanding the impact of invasive crayfish (2007, background): “In Trout Lake, Wisconsin, snails declined from >10,000 to <5 individuals m 2 after 19 years of colonization by O. rusticus (Wilson et al. 2004).”
Coupling long‐term studies with meta‐analysis to investigate impacts of non‐native crayfish on zoobenthic communities (2006, background): “Journal compilation 2005 Blackwell Publishing Ltd, Freshwater Biology, 51, 224–235 Magnuson, 1985; Lodge & Lorman, 1987; Olsen et al., 1991; Wilson et al., 2004).”
Surprises and Insights from Long-Term Aquatic Data Sets and Experiments (2012, background): “Rusty crayfish were first observed in low abundances in Trout Lake, Vilas County, Wisconsin (46 degrees [°] 13 minutes ['] north [N], 89°32' west [W]), in 1979 and dispersed throughout the lake over the subsequent decades (Wilson et al. 2004).”
Ecological Effects of Invasive Arthropod Generalist Predators (2006, background): “The impact of the rusty crayfish on Trout Lake was followed over the initial 20 years of crayfish invasion (Wilson et al. 2004), revealing that results from the field experiment quite accurately predict longer term impacts of rusty crayfish.”
Species Invasions from Commerce in Live Aquatic Organisms: Problems and Possible Solutions (2007, methodology): “…which drastically alters lake and stream ecosystems (Rosenthal et al. 2006) and reduces populations of some game fish in the upper Midwest (Wilson et al. 2004), and the Asiatic clam, which has massive impacts across the United States (McMahon 2000), including the fouling of power station…”
Invasive crayfish in Europe: the impact of Procambarus clarkii on the littoral community of a Mediterranean lake (2007, unknown): “Snails can be drastically reduced (from >10 000 to <5 individuals m after 19 years of colonisation by O. rusticus in Trout Lake, Wisconsin, U.S.A.; Wilson et al., 2004) and can even be eliminated (Charlebois &”
