View article: Identifying refugia from the synergistic threats of climate change and invasive species
Identifying refugia from the synergistic threats of climate change and invasive species Open
Climate change may reduce available habitat for native species, while simultaneously increasing suitable habitat for invasive species, which then compete with or predate on native species. Thus, climate change and invasive species can inte…

Reproductive biology of two hydrothermal vent Cocculinidae species (Mollusca: Gastropoda) from the Arctic and Southern Ocean Open
The ecology of hydrothermal vents in polar oceans is less known than other regions, as a consequence of the logistical challenges of deep-sea fieldwork at high latitudes, and particularly under permanent ice cover in the Arctic. This paper…

The social–ecological fabric of freshwater fish management: Accounting for feedback loops in human–fish interactions Open
A holistic view of nature, which situates human relationships and actions within ecosystems, can broaden our understanding of environmental problems and expand the scope and efficacy of potential solutions. Social–ecological systems (SES) …

The biter bit; scavenging behaviour of native freshwater crayfish on the carrion of native and introduced fish predators in Aotearoa-New Zealand Open
Freshwater crayfish are important prey items for many fish but are themselves opportunistic scavengers of carcasses of predatory fish. In Aotearoa-New Zealand, kōura, the native freshwater crayfish Paranephrops planifrons , a culturally tr…

Strangers in a strange land; freshwater fish introductions, impacts, management and socio-ecological feedbacks in a small island nation – the case of Aotearoa New Zealand Open
Invasive non-native species (INNS) are key drivers of global biodiversity loss. This is particularly evident in freshwater ecosystems, where the rates of both vertebrate biodiversity loss and biological invasion exceed those of marine and …

Habitat suitability of Aotearoa New Zealand for the recently invaded gold clam ( <i>Corbicula fluminea</i> ) Open
The gold clam (Corbicula fluminea) is a highly invasive freshwater mollusc, which was detected in Aotearoa New Zealand in 2023. Currently, C. fluminea has only been observed in the Waikato catchment, but there is significant concern it wil…

Transforming freshwater politics through metaphors: Struggles over ecosystem health, legal personhood, and invasive species in Aotearoa New Zealand Open
Metaphor, defined as the linguistic substitution of one phenomenon for another, is ubiquitous in environmental science and policy. In science, when used well, metaphors help to make complex and abstract ideas familiar and relatable, while …

‘One is the loneliest number’; are we witnessing the death throes of the single-author research paper in the field of biological invasions? Open
Single-author papers are the lowest relative contributors to the research output of international open access journals BioInvasions Records (BIR), Aquatic Invasions (AI) and Management of Biological Invasions (MBI), accounting for 5% or le…

A long-term study (1949–2015) of the aftermaths of the deliberate experimental introduction of an invasive freshwater amphipod (Crustacea) to a small Island Open
The ability to track changing distributions and long-term interactions between native and introduced species provides insights into forecasting impacts of invaders.We used data from deliberate field introduction experiments of a freshwater…

Invader Relative Impact Potential: a new metric to understand and predict the ecological impacts of existing, emerging and future invasive alien species Open
Summary Predictions of the identities and ecological impacts of invasive alien species are critical for risk assessment, but presently we lack universal and standardized metrics that reliably predict the likelihood and degree of impact of …

Responses to threat in a freshwater invader: longitudinal data reveal personality, habituation, and robustness to changing water temperatures in the “killer shrimp”<i>Dikerogammarus villosus</i>(Crustacea: Amphipoda) Open
Freshwater biodiversity and ecosystem integrity are under threat from biological invasions. The "killer shrimp" Dikerogammarus villosus is a highly predatory amphipod that has spread readily across Central Europe and recently the UK…
