Red swamp crayfish: biology, ecology and invasion - an overview (2015, background): “Its efficiency on grazing macrophytes and extensive burrowing activity can alter freshwater environments, modifying them from macrophytedominated areas with clear water to phytoplankton dominated turbid areas (Rodriguez et al., 2003; Geiger et al., 2005; Matsuzaki et al., 2009).”
Ecological roles of crayfish in freshwater and terrestrial habitats (2013, background): “Keystone Trophic Regulators Red swamp: Procambarus clarkii Geiger et al. (2005) Least concern Crandall”
Colonization of freshwater habitats by an introduced crayfish, Procambarus clarkii, in Southwest Iberian Peninsula (2006, unknown): “clarkii’s native area are similar to those found in Mediterranean wetlands (Geiger et al., 2005) may have facilitated this success.”
Environmental DNA surveillance for invertebrate species: advantages and technical limitations to detect invasive crayfish Procambarus clarkii in freshwater ponds. (2014, methodology): “Trapping is the traditional method for sampling active P. clarkii (Geiger et al. 2005).”
Coupling long‐term studies with meta‐analysis to investigate impacts of non‐native crayfish on zoobenthic communities (2006, background): “…play a central role in aquatic food webs, constituting a significant component of benthic invertebrate production and providing a direct link from primary production and detrital-based food webs to fish (Momot, 1995; Rabeni, Gossett & McClendon, 1995; Dorn & Mittelbach, 1999; Geiger et al., 2005).”
Unravelling the global invasion routes of a worldwide invader, the red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) (2019, background): “…causing 114 serious damage to biodiversity (e.g., other crayfish species, fish, amphibians, macroinvertebrates 115 and macrophytes) and to human infrastructure and ecosystem services (e.g., irrigation canals, water 116 quality, rice crops, etc.) (Geiger et al., 2005; Twardochleb et al., 2013).”
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).”
Invasive alien Crustacea: dispersal, establishment, impact and control (2011, background): “Similarly, P. clarkii has become a food source for mammals and birds in Mediterranean wetlands (Geiger et al. 2005) and C. maenas has become one of the main prey of larger crabs in the North-eastern coast of the USA (Griffen et al. 2008).”
A review of ecological interactions between crayfish and fish, indigenous and introduced (2011, unknown): “However, decapods (crayfish and crabs), as the largest active predatory or broadly omnivorous invertebrates in many freshwater systems, are also capable of dominating secondary production and biomass (Geiger et al., 2005; Gherardi, 2007; Reynolds and Souty-Grosset, 2011).”
Ecological Effects of Invasive Arthropod Generalist Predators (2006, background): “The fish and crayfish are sympatric in the native range (the southeastern United States), and there is some evidence that without the red swamp crayfish as prey, the invasive fish would not persist in sufficient numbers to have widespread negative effects on native species (Geiger et al. 2005).”
Crayfish invading Europe: the case study of Procambarus clarkii (2006, background): “Unfortunately, there was no concern in those times about the adverse environmental impact of this potentially invasive species (Geiger et al. 2005).”
Assessing the environmental requirements of invaders using ensembles of distribution models (2011, background): “, 2008), habitat and ecosystem changes (Rudnick et al., 2003; Geiger et al., 2005), negative effects on amphibian populations (Nyström, 1999; Cruz et al.”
Understanding the impact of invasive crayfish (2007, background): “…Finland (Kirjavainen and Sipponen 2004); (2) producing some economic benefits for many families in poorly developed areas, e.g. in Andalusia, Spain (Geiger et al. 2005); (3) leading to a diversification of agriculture to include astaciculture, e.g. by crayfish farmers in Britain and in Spain…”
The role of behavior in the success of invasive crustaceans (2010, background): “While juveniles feed on animal food and thus affect the macroinvertebrate community, adults graze on macrophytes (Geiger et al. 2005).”
