Long-term trends in crayfish invasions across European rivers
Soto, Ismael; Ahmed, Danish A.; Beidas, Ayah; Oficialdegui, Francisco J.; Tricarico, Elena; Angeler, David G.; Amatulli, Giuseppe; Briski, ElizabetaEurope has experienced a substantial increase in non-indigenous crayfish species (NICS) since the mid-20th century due to their extensive use in fisheries, aquaculture and, more recently, pet trade. Despite relatively long invasion histories of some NICS and negative impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, large spatio-temporal analyses of their occurrences are lacking. Here, we used a large freshwat...
The recovery of European freshwater biodiversity has come to a halt
Haase, Peter; Bowler, Diana E.; Baker, Nathan J.; Bonada, Núria; Domisch, Sami; Garcia Marquez, Jaime R.; Heino, Jani; Hering, Daniel; Jähnig, Sonja C.Owing to a long history of anthropogenic pressures, freshwater ecosystems are among the most vulnerable to biodiversity loss1. Mitigation measures, including wastewater treatment and hydromorphological restoration, have aimed to improve environmental quality and foster the recovery of freshwater biodiversity2. Here, using 1,816 time series of freshwater invertebrate communities collected across 22 European coun...
Invasion impacts and dynamics of a European-wide introduced species
Haubrock, Phillip J.; Ahmed, Danish A.; Cuthbert, Ross N.; Stubbington, Rachel; Domisch, Sami; Marquez, Jaime R. G.; Beidas, Ayah; Amatulli, GiuseppeGlobalization has led to the introduction of thousands of alien species worldwide. With growing impacts by invasive species, understanding the invasion process remains critical for predicting adverse effects and informing efficient management. Theoretically, invasion dynamics have been assumed to follow an "invasion curve" (S-shaped curve of available area invaded over time), but this dynamic has lacked empiric...

The effects of eucalypt plantations on plant litter decomposition and macroinve...
Ferreira, Verónica; Larrañaga, Aitor; Gulis, Vladislav; Basaguren, Ana; Elosegi, Arturo; Graça, Manuel A. S.; Pozo, JesúsEucalypt plantations cover over 1.5 million ha in the Iberian Peninsula. The effects of the replacement of native deciduous forests by exotic plantations on stream communities and litter decomposition, a key ecosystem process in forest streams, are poorly understood. We compared microbially driven and total (microbes + invertebrates) decomposition of alder and oak leaf litter (high and low quality resource, res...
