DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8486
Abstract: Abstract Invasion of non‐native species might alter food web structure and the strength of top‐down control within lake ecosystems. As top‐down control exerted by fish populations is often dominated by young of the year fish,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/00288330.2018.1485712
Abstract: ABSTRACT Non-indigenous zooplankton species pose a biosecurity threat to New Zealand’s freshwater native taxa. Nine species are known to have established in New Zealand lakes to date. The spread of some zooplankton taxa is linked… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/conphys/coaa038
Abstract: Abstract Widespread declines in the body size of aquatic ectotherms have been attributed to the poorer ability of older, larger individuals to tolerate high temperature. Here, using the thermal death time curve framework, we investigate… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0190625
Abstract: Ocean warming and acidification (OA) may alter the fitness of species in marine pelagic ecosystems through community effects or direct physiological impacts. We used the zooplanktonic appendicularian, Oikopleura dioica, to assess temperature and pH effects… read more here.

A global review of zooplankton species in freshwater aquaculture ponds: what are the risks for invasion?

DOI: 10.3391/ai.2018.13.3.01
Abstract: Non-native freshwater zooplankton species have been recorded from aquaculture ponds in New Zealand and Italy, while zooplankton invasions elsewhere have implicated the aquaculture industry as the vector for introduction. However, the prevalence of non-native species… read more here.
