• Structure and dynamics of an invasive population of the red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) in a Mediterranean wetland (2007, background): “Finally, because of its aggressiveness and predatory ability, it poses threats to the native fauna (e.g. amphibians, Gherardi et al., 2001; Renai & Gherardi, 2004), including endangered indigenous crayfish, such as the white-clawed crayfish, Austropotamobius pallipes (Lereboullet, 1858).”
• Understanding the impact of invasive crayfish (2007, background): “…crayfish, at least in the laboratory, can efficiently prey upon juvenile or small fish, amphibian eggs and tadpoles, and macroinvertebrates (e.g. Gherardi et al. 2001, Renai and Gherardi 2004) including juvenile crayfish, the guts of many species contain a large proportion of organic detritus…”
• The role of behavior in the success of invasive crustaceans (2010, background): “( 2001 ) compared the predation of this invasive species on different species of tadpoles with that of a native crayfish, Austropotamobius pallipes , and found that the invasive crayfish caught them faster and also appeared to be faster in switching to different prey than the native species, which ”
• Early assessment of the impact of alien species: differential consequences of an invasive crayfish on adult and larval amphibians (2011, background): “clarkii is able to prey on larvae of most European amphibians (Gherardi et al., 2001; Cruz & Rebelo, 2005); crayfish predation is therefore the most likely cause of the negative relationship between crayfish and tadpole abundance (Fig.”
• Crayfish invading Europe: the case study of Procambarus clarkii (2006, background): “clarkii may consume trout fry (Gherardi et al. 2001), the impact that this species has on fish populations in nature remains to be investigated.”
