Is Gammarus tigrinus (Crustacea, Amphipoda) becoming cosmopolitan through ship**? Predicting its potential invasive range using ecological niche modeling
While the intensity of global ship** has increased dramatically over the last decades, species exchange between continents has likewise intensified. Ballast water of ships is recognized playing a major role ...

Open AccessInvader–invader interactions in relation to environmental heterogeneity leads to zonation of two invasive amphipods, Dikerogammarus villosus (Sowinsky) and Gammarus tigrinus Sexton: amphipod pilot species project (AMPIS) report 6
As biological invasions continue, interactions occur not only between invaders and natives, but increasingly new invaders come into contact with previous invaders. Whilst this can lead to species replacements,...

Open AccessEnvironmental and morphological factors influencing predatory behaviour by invasive non-indigenous gammaridean species
Predatory behaviour seems to be more frequent in invasive gammaridean species than in native ones. This results in the exclusion of other, mostly native gammaridean species and a change in benthic communities....

Feeding on micro-algae in the invasive Ponto-Caspian amphipod Dikerogammarus villosus (Sowinsky, 1894)
Feeding on micro-algae is shown in the invasive Ponto-Caspian amphipod Dikerogammarus villosus. Compared with controls, males, females and juveniles of this species significantly reduced the concentration in susp...

Changes in the amphipod fauna (crustacea) of the Rhine, Meuse and Scheldt estuary due to the ’delta plan’ coastal engineering works
The amphipod fauna of the delta of the rivers Rhine, Meuse and Scheldt was re-surveyed 30 years after the detailed inventory ofden hartog (1963; 1964). During these 30 years enormous changes have taken place in t...
