Worldwide freshwater fish homogenization is driven by a few widespread non-native species (2016, background): “Those species are all known to be highly invasive, often reaching high abundances (Gherardi and Acquistapace 2007; Rahel 2007; Lauzeral et al. 2011), but we nevertheless found a low correlation between the number of introductions and the effect of each of these species on change in dissimilarity…”
Herbivory on freshwater and marine macrophytes: A review and perspective (2016, background): “…Sarneel et al., 2014), fishes such as the lessepsian rabbitfishes in the Mediterranean (Verges et al., 2014a), molluscs such as the golden apple snail in Asia (Carlsson et al., 2004), and crustaceans such as red swamp crayfish in Europe (Gherardi and Acquistapace, 2007; Van der Wal et al., 2013).”
The perfect invader: a parthenogenic crayfish poses a new threat to Madagascar’s freshwater biodiversity (2009, background): “Crayfish invasions in other parts of the world have caused local extinctions of native crayfish (through direct competition and transferring the crayfish plague pathogen Aphanomyces astaci) and resulted in major changes to aquatic ecosystems (Rodriguez et al. 2005; Rosenthal et al. 2006; Gherardi 20”
Non-linear effects of invasive lionfish density on native coral-reef fish communities (2015, background): “Overestimation would occur if the overall impacts of an invader level-off at high invader densities (e.g. Byrnes and Witman 2003; Gherardi and Acquistapace 2007; Griffen and Byers 2008; Matsuzaki et al. 2009).”
Biological control of invasive populations of crayfish: the European eel (Anguilla anguilla) as a predator of Procambarus clarkii (2010, background): “with native crayfish species, to reduce the biomass and richness of hydrophytes, snails, and other components of the food web, and overall to affect ecosystem services (e.g. Lodge et al. 1994; Nyström et al. 1996; Gherardi and Acquistapace 2007; Gherardi 2007).”
Red swamp crayfish: biology, ecology and invasion - an overview (2015, background): “Procambarus clarkii occupies an important position in the trophic structure of invaded environments, interacting with different trophic levels and changing the whole ecosystem functioning (Angeler et al., 2001; Dorn and Wojdak, 2004; Gherardi and Acquistapace, 2007; Cruz et al., 2008).”
Ecological roles of crayfish in freshwater and terrestrial habitats (2013, background): “clarkii (Gherardi and Acquistapace 2007; Leitão 2008).”
A review of the ever increasing threat to European crayfish from non-indigenous crayfish species (2009, background): “…provinces, e.g. by Nardi et al. (2005), Chiesa et al. (2006), Fea et al. (2006), Ferri et al. (2006), Gherardi (2006), Gherardi and Lazzara (2006), Gherardi and Acquistapace (2007), Scalici and Gherardi (2007), Ligas (2008), Bertocchi et al. (2008b), Polloni and Ghezzi (2008) and Scalici et al.…”
Understanding the impact of invasive crayfish (2007, background): “The intense grazing on aquatic macrophytes by O. rusticus, P. leniusculus, and P. clarkii (e.g. Lodge et al. 1994, Nyström et al. 1996, Gherardi and Acquistapace 2007), coupled with their non-consumptive plant clipping and uprooting (Lodge et al. 1994, Nyström and Strand 1996, Smart et al. 2002,…”
A global assessment of freshwater fish introductions in mediterranean-climate regions (2013, background): “Crayfishes , such as the red swamp crayfish Procambarus clarkii, have been introduced worldwide, often reaching high abundance in Mediterranean waters, and have contributed to the decline of native species (e.g. Gherardi & Acquistapace, 2007).”
