Abstract Astacus astacus (Linnaeus, 1758) is a vulnerable species. Through comprehensive monitoring, we have determined the current spatial distribution of populations in two streams Western Carpathian Massif. In investigated part streams, did not detect presence source chemical contamination with hazardous substances causing aquatic animal mortality or significant deterioration environmental q...

Invasive non-native species represent a leading threat to global freshwater biodiversity and crayfish frequently cause extensive ecological damage. However, the extent which their impact: (1) depends on invader identity (2) differs from natural state with native remains unclear. Comparison of functional responses invasive represents promising approach in this regard. Here, we explored whether f...

One of the most critical challenges in species distribution modelling is testing and validating various digitally derived environmental predictors (e.g., remote-sensing variables, topographic variables) by field data. Therefore, here we aimed to explore value soil properties spatial four European indigenous crayfish species. A database with 473 presence absence locations Romania for Austropotam...
