Global distribution and diversity of alien Ponto-Caspian amphipods
The Ponto-Caspian region is an important donor of aquatic alien species throughout the Northern Hemisphere, many of which are amphipod crustaceans....
-
Genetic diversity of Ponto-Caspian amphipods throughout the invaded Baltic and native NW Black Sea donor ranges: does introduction mode matter?
The SE Baltic region harbors a diverse assemblage of alien amphipods of Ponto-Caspian origin. The composition of this fauna was shaped by three...
-
Ponto-Caspian amphipod co-location with zebra mussel beds (Dreissena polymorpha) is influenced by substrate size and population source
The global spread of non-native species is leading to an increasing frequency of multiple co-occurring non-native species. We examined the...
-
The functional ecology of four invasive Ponto–Caspian gobies
Ponto–Caspian gobies are among Europe's most invasive freshwater fish species. These small freshwater and brackish water fish have spread rapidly...
-
Taxonomic, ecological and morphological diversity of Ponto-Caspian gammaroidean amphipods: a review
The dynamic geological history of the Ponto-Caspian region drove the evolution of a highly adaptable endemic fauna that gave rise to notorious...
-
Cold-tolerant traits that favour northwards movement and establishment of Mediterranean and Ponto-Caspian alien aquatic invertebrates
Over recent decades, many Mediterranean and Ponto-Caspian aquatic invertebrate species have dispersed northwards and established as non-native...
-
The faunal Ponto-Caspianization of central and western European waterways
As alien invasive species are a key driver of biodiversity loss, understanding patterns of rapidly changing global species compositions depends upon...

Distribution of Malacostracans (Malacostraca, Arthropoda) in Rivers of the Semidesert Zone (Based on the Example of Volgograd Reservoir Tributaries)
Abstract —As a result of our studies of the macro- and nectozoobenthos of the rivers of the semidesert zone (the Volgograd Reservoir basin), we have...

The Ponto-Caspian parasite Plagioporus cf. skrjabini reaches the River Rhine system in Central Europe: higher infestation in the native than in the introduced Danubian form of the gastropod Theodoxus fluviatilis
The introduction of non-indigenous organisms in new areas in the context of host-parasite interactions is still poorly understood. This study aimed...

Among demons and killers: current and future potential distribution of two hyper successful invasive gammarids
Biological invasions represent one of the main contemporary pressures facing freshwater ecosystems, and a better understanding of invasive species...
-
Warming, not acidification, favours survival of non-indigenous over native gammarid species
Anthropogenic disturbances, including non-indigenous species (NIS) and climate change, have considerably affected ecosystems and socio-economies...

Spread Rate of Alien Amphipods and Mysids in the Main Rivers of Belarus
AbstractThe spread rates of alien species of Amphipoda and Mysida were calculated for the Dnieper, Pripyat, and Neman rivers within the territory of...
-
Environment, intraspecific lineages and geographic range jointly shape the high morphological variability of Dikerogammarus villosus (Sowinsky, 1894) (Crustacea, Amphipoda): a successful aquatic invader across Europe
Phenotypic variability is a key factor promoting the establishment and spread of invasive populations in new environments. The Ponto-Caspian region...

Distribution of Alien Species of Macrozoobenthos and the Species Cenotic Complexes in the Kama Reservoirs
AbstractThe results of studies on the distribution of alien species in macrozoobenthic communities in the reservoirs of the Kama River cascade are...

First Find of Pontogammarus robustoides in the Upper Volga River Basin (Russia)
AbstractThe potentially dangerous Ponto-Caspian amphipod Pontogammarus robustoides Sars, 1894 has been detected for the first time in the upper...

Features of the Spatial Distribution of Invasive Amphipod Species in the Littoral of Lake Ladoga
AbstractThe modern distribution of invasive amphipods of Baikal ( Gmelinoides fasciatus (Stebbing, 1899), Micruropus possolskii Sowinsky, 1915) and...
-
Dependence of the Distribution of Alien Species of Macrozoobenthos on the Type and Composition of Soil in the Volga and Kama Reservoirs
AbstractAn assessment of the biotopic confinement of alien species is performed as a result of studies of macrozoobenthos in the reservoirs of the...

The diversity of opsins in Lake Baikal amphipods (Amphipoda: Gammaridae)
BackgroundVision is a crucial sense for the evolutionary success of many animal groups. Here we explore the diversity of visual pigments (opsins) in...

Analysis of the Patterns of Organization of Species Complexes of Ponto-Caspian and Ponto-Azovian Macrozoobenthos in the Middle and Lower Volga Reservoirs
The study of macrozoobenthos in the Middle and Lower Volga reservoirs has revealed stable cenotic complexes of Ponto-Caspian and Ponto-Azovian...

Dietary contributions of the alien zebra mussel Dreissena polymorpha in British freshwater fish suggest low biological resistance to their invasion
Native communities can resist the establishment and invasion of alien species through consumptive and/or competitive interactions. The extent of...
