The freshwater crustaceans, Crangonyx pseudogracilis, Atyaephyra desmaresti and Procambarus clarkii (hereby referred to as FCs) are non-native in several areas of their distribution range presumably due to human-mediated introductions. Here we test dispersal by waterbirds as a complementary mechanism of dispersal of these 3 species. For P. clarkii, we studied the transport of recently hatched juveniles while, f...
The use of habitat modelling for exotic invasive species can be extremely useful for identifying their potential impacts and for assisting in the design of eradication strategies. Even though the latter builds on theoretical assumptions that are quite different from those involved in the modelling of the habitat of native species, these two modelling methods are in fact quite similar. This article presents a ha...
