Journal ArticleDOI
Roles of parasites in animal invasions.
TL;DR: It is shown that the influence of parasitism on the outcomes of animal invasions is more subtle and wide ranging than has been previously realized.
Journal ArticleDOI
The trophic ecology of freshwater gammarus spp. (crustacea: amphipoda): problems and perspectives concerning the functional feeding group concept
TL;DR: It is shown that a far wider food base is exploited than has been previously acknowledged in Gammarus spp.
Journal ArticleDOI
The dynamics of predation on Gammarus spp. (Crustacea: Amphipoda)
TL;DR: The aim of this review is to ascertain the current importance of Gammarus as a prey species, such that the implications of changes inGammarus spp.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The Relative Impact Potential metric combines the per capita effects of invaders with their abundances, relative to trophically analogous natives, and is successful in predicting the likelihood and degree of ecological impact caused by invasive alien species.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Evidence is presented for widespread use of vertically transmitted microsporidia and associated sex–ratio distortion in a eukaryotic phylum and it is proposed that VT is either an ancestral trait or evolves with peculiar frequency in this phylum.
