Two Asian fresh water shrimp species found in a thermally polluted stream system in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany (2013, background): “…may cause severe changes to native species assemblages and their aquatic habitats (Cox 2004), with numerous documented cases from freshwater fish to molluscs to crustaceans (e.g., Carmichael et al. 1993; Gamradt and Kats 1996; Barbaresi and Gherardi 2000; Vitule et al. 2009; Gozlan et al. 2010).”
Red swamp crayfish: biology, ecology and invasion - an overview (2015, background): “Thereafter, it dispersed rapidly throughout the Mediterranean region and central Europe, either actively in rivers or passively by human translocations (Anastácio and Marques, 1995; Barbaresi and Gherardi, 2000).”
Biological invasions in inland waters: an overview (2007, background): “The second claim is that they constitute abundant prey for rare or threatened birds and mammals, like several Ardaeidae and the otter (e.g. Barbaresi and Gherardi 2000, Rodrı́guez et al. 2005).”
Crayfish invading Europe: the case study of Procambarus clarkii (2006, background): “supporting the hypothesis that this locality might be the source of the populations in central Italy (Barbaresi and Gherardi 2000).”
The role of behavior in the success of invasive crustaceans (2010, background): “Gherardi et al. (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 spe”
Review and new records of non-indigenous freshwater invertebrates in the Ebro River basin (Northeast Spain) (2010, unknown): “A high risk of diffusion of this fungus is also represented by the movement of fishermens’ equipment, carrying spores, through different streams (Barbaresi and Gherardi 2000).”
DISTRIBUTION OF CRAYFISH IN EUROPE AND SOME ADJOINING COUNTRIES (2002, background): “widespread in Tuscany, especially in the large Massaciuccoli Lake, whose population originates from the dumping of the stock of a crayfish farm that went bankrupt in 1993 (BARBARESI and GHERARDI, 2000).”
Colonization of freshwater habitats by an introduced crayfish, Procambarus clarkii, in Southwest Iberian Peninsula (2006, unknown): “It has a high ability to adapt to the hydrological and temperature conditions of new habitats (Gutiérrez-Yurrita & Montes, 1999) and is well adapted to life in areas with drastic, seasonal fluctuations in water levels (Barbaresi & Gherardi, 2000).”
Understanding the impact of invasive crayfish (2007, background): “Though no quantitative study has been yet made, the appearance of P. clarkii has been considered responsible for the increase in a number of avian species, like some Ardaeidae, together with cormorants, in some European areas, such as in Massaciuccoli Lake (Tuscany) (Barbaresi and Gherardi 2000).”
Shift from clear to turbid phase in Lake Chozas (NW Spain) due to the introduction of American red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) (2003, background): “Due to direct predation by crayfish on tadpoles (Barbaresi & Gherardi, 2000), all anura amphibians have disappeared from the lake, while the rare newt (Pleurodeles waltl Michaelles, 1830) still has small populations.”
