A study investigated the diet composition of two distinct populations of mesopredatory round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) in the Baltic Sea.

The potential predation of male and female Asian shore crab Hemigrapsus sanguineus on the amphipod Ptilohyale littoralis under controlled laboratory condition.

An insight into geographic expansion and abundance fluctuations of the invasive Chinese mitten crab, one of the world’s 100 worst invasive species to investigate the distribution-abundance relationship.

The demographic and genetic structure of the quagga mussel (Dreissena rostriformis bugensis) in France, focusing on its relative abundance, biomass, population structure, and genetic structure.

A declined distribution of crucian carp (C. carassius L.), a native species in the northern Middle Danube Basin which followed by an increasing populations of the invasive cyprinid C. gibelio in various habitats.

Successful adaptation of East Asian river prawn Macrobrachium nipponense in the lower reaches of the Danube and Dniester basins, interfluves, and water bodies east of the Dniester.
