Emerging threats and persistent conservation challenges for freshwater biodiversity (2018, background): “They, like islands, are historically isolated but increasingly connected through human actions that facilitate invasive species dispersal and transport (Gherardi, 2007).”
Introduction of non‐native freshwater fish can certainly be bad (2009, methodology): “ecosystems is a recent discipline that is likely to expand greatly in the near future (Sala et al. 2000; Gherardi 2007; Simberloff 2007).”
Alien Invertebrates and Fish in European Inland Waters (2009, background): “In fact, notwithstanding the increased scientific interest for biological invasions in the last decade and the surge of research focused on the identification of alien species in fresh waters ( Gherardi 2007b ), there is still a gap in knowledge regarding invertebrate taxa.”
Review and new records of non-indigenous freshwater invertebrates in the Ebro River basin (Northeast Spain) (2010, unknown): “Yabbies show strongly aggressive, competitive and predatory behaviour towards other animals, and burrowing by yabby can be a problem by the damage caused to crops, lawns, golf courses, dams walls, dykes, irrigation canals, rivers and lakes banks (Gherardi 2007b; Lynas et al. 2007).”
The top 27 animal alien species introduced into Europe for aquaculture and related activities (2010, background): “…(e.g. crayfish plague dissemination, habitat modifications, predation, competition, bioaccumulation of heavy metals and other water pollutants etc) (Gherardi, 2006, 2007b; Tricarico et al., 2008), while other species, such as C. auratus and C. peled, may cause one type of impact only…”
