Red swamp crayfish: biology, ecology and invasion - an overview (2015, background): “Its flexible feeding strategy affects both lower and higher trophic levels by grazing on macrophytes and algae and preying on macroinvertebrates, fish fingerlings and tadpoles (Rodriguez et al., 2003; Rodriguez et al., 2005; Gherardi, 2006; Gherardi and Acquistapace, 2007).”
Herbivory on freshwater and marine macrophytes: A review and perspective (2016, background): “…et al., 2014a), North-American red-swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) have depleted submerged plant meadows in shallow lakes across Europe (Rodriguez et al., 2003; Gherardi and Acquistapace, 2007; van der Wal et al., 2013), and intentional introductions of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon…”
Loss of diversity and degradation of wetlands as a result of introducing exotic crayfish (2005, methodology): “…has been described in terms of changes in available food and/or shelter and the breeding success of other species (Gutiérrez-Yurrita and Montes 1999) and other direct effects on the aquatic fauna and flora (Cronin 1996; Nyström and Pérez 1998; Angeler et al. 2001; Rodrı́guez et al. 2003).”
A review of the ever increasing threat to European crayfish from non-indigenous crayfish species (2009, background): “In addition to being a vector of crayfish plague, due its short life-history, rapid growth, burrowing activities and high population density it can impact adversely on the aquatic environment (Rodriguez et al., 2003, 2005; Gherardi, 2006; Gherardi and Acquistapace, 2007).”
Climate Change and the Future of Freshwater Biodiversity in Europe: A Primer for Policy-Makers (2009, background): “…introduction of exotic grazing birds such as Canada geese, fish such as common carp, or invertebrates such as Louisiana red swamp crayfish (Rodriguez et al., 2003)) or those that disrupt the mechanisms that maintain the water clarity (for example, toxicity to zooplankton through pesticide…”
