The Ponto-Caspian amphipod Dikerogammarus villosus was found both in the margins and open water areas of Grafham Water, a large reservoir in Cambridgeshire, U.K., in September 2010. Both adults and juveniles were present in large numbers and were most frequent in the boulder/cobble areas dominating the margins of the reservoir. Precopula pairs were also evident, as were egg bearing females.

- The profile of a 'perfect' invader - the case of killer shrimp, Dikerogammarus villosus (2014, background): “Here, in 2010, it was found in the Grafham Water Reservoir in Cambridgeshire, England (MacNeil et al. 2010).”
- The 'dirty dozen': socio-economic factors amplify the invasion potential of 12 high-risk aquatic invasive species in Great Britain and Ireland. (2013, background): “It is pertinent to note that the distribution in Great Britain of an already wellestablished Ponto-Caspian invader, the zebra mussel, Dreissena polymorpha, also follows this south-eastern distribution (Aldridge, Elliott & Moggridge 2004) and is known to facilitate other invasive species including th”
