The unimpeded downstream movement patterns and migration success of small female and male Anguilla anguilla through a catchment in north‐west Europe were studied using an acoustic hydrophone array along the River Finn and into the Foyle Estuary in Ir...

Resource availability and life-history origin affect competitive behavior in territorial disputes (2015)
Journal Article
Van Leeuwen, T. E., Hughes, M. R., Dodd, J. A., Adams, C. E., & Metcalfe, N. B. (2016). Resource availability and life-history origin affect competitive behavior in territorial disputes. Behavioral Ecology, 27(2), 385-392. https://doi.org/10.1093/beheco/a

Partial migration, in which some individuals of a population migrate and others remain sedentary, is a phenomenon that occurs across a wide range of taxa, but the factors that predispose particular individuals to one or the other strategy are usually...

Foraging specialisms influence space use and movement patterns of the European eel Anguilla anguilla (2015)
Journal Article
Barry, J., Newton, M., Dodd, J. A., Hooker, O. E., Boylan, P., Lucas, M. C., & Adams, C. E. (2016). Foraging specialisms influence space use and movement patterns of the European eel Anguilla anguilla. Hydrobiologia, 766(1), 333-348. https://doi.org/10.10

A fixed receiver array was used to examine the movement patterns and space use of the European eel Anguilla anguilla in an oligotrophic Irish lake between July and September. We assessed home range size, temporal change in spatial behaviour and activ... Read More about Foraging specialisms influence space use and movement patterns of the European eel Anguilla anguilla.

Local scale, coastal currents influence recruitment to freshwater populations in the European eel Anguilla anguilla: a case study from the Isle of Man (2015)
Journal Article
Barry, J., Mcharg, K., Dodd, J. A., & Adams, C. E. (2015). Local scale, coastal currents influence recruitment to freshwater populations in the European eel Anguilla anguilla: a case study from the Isle of Man. Journal of Fish Biology, 86(6), 1873-1880. h

This study examines juvenile Anguilla anguilla (< 30 cm) abundance in five study catchments on the Isle of Man. Preliminary results suggest that juvenile abundance is negatively correlated with increasing coastal current speed at river mouth entry (P...

Predicting the ecological impacts of a new freshwater invader: functional responses and prey selectivity of the ‘killer shrimp’, Dikerogammarus villosus, compared to the native Gammarus pulex (2013)
Journal Article
Dodd, J. A., Dick, J. T. A., Alexander, M. E., MacNeil, C., Dunn, A. M., & Aldridge, D. C. (2014). Predicting the ecological impacts of a new freshwater invader: functional responses and prey selectivity of the ‘killer shrimp’, Dikerogammarus villosus

The ability to predict the likely ecological impacts of invasive species in fresh waters is a pressing research requirement. Whilst comparisons of species traits and considerations of invasion history have some efficacy in this respect, we require ro...

Predators vs. alien: differential biotic resistance to an invasive species by two resident predators (2013)
Journal Article
MacNeil, C., Dick, J., Alexander, M., Dodd, J., & Ricciardi, A. (2013). Predators vs. alien: differential biotic resistance to an invasive species by two resident predators. NeoBiota, 19, 1-19. https://doi.org/10.3897/neobiota.19.4839

The success of invading species can be restricted by interspecific interactions such as competition and predation (i.e. biotic resistance) from resident species, which may be natives or previous invaders. Whilst there are myriad examples of resident... Read More about Predators vs. alien: differential biotic resistance to an invasive species by two resident predators.

Differential leaf-litter processing by native (Gammarus pulex) and invasive (Dikerogammarus villosus) freshwater crustaceans under environmental extremes (2013)
Journal Article
Truhlar, A. M., Dodd, J. A., & Aldridge, D. C. (2014). Differential leaf-litter processing by native (Gammarus pulex) and invasive (Dikerogammarus villosus) freshwater crustaceans under environmental extremes. Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater E

There is increasing interest in understanding the implications of biological invasions within the context of ecosystem functioning. Non‐native crustaceans are of particular interest within fresh waters because of their important contributions to leaf...

Short range dispersal by a rare, obligate freshwater crustacean Triops cancriformis (Bosc) (2013)
Journal Article
Adams, C., Griffin, L., Benzies, E., Aherne, D., Bean, C., Dodd, J., …Maitland, P. (2014). Short range dispersal by a rare, obligate freshwater crustacean Triops cancriformis (Bosc). Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, 24(1), 48-55.

Ephemeral freshwater ponds are highly discrete, limiting dispersal for obligate freshwater species and creating disjunct distributions. The rare, freshwater, ephemeral pond dwelling, brachiopod crustacean, Triops cancriformis (Bosc) exhibits a hig...

Is proximity to the North Atlantic Drift and the Continental Shelf Current sustaining freshwater European eel populations in western Scotland? (2012)
Journal Article
Adams, C. E., Godfrey, J. D., Dodd, J. A., & Maitland, P. S. (2013). Is proximity to the North Atlantic Drift and the Continental Shelf Current sustaining freshwater European eel populations in western Scotland?. Freshwater Biology, 58(1), 1-9. https://do

We report on freshwater resident eel numbers in western Scotland based on two time series of data, independent of each other, spanning 28 years and that do not rely upon fisheries information. Data from eel captures on trash screens of a pumping s...
