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

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

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

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...
