Effects of Bythotrephes longimanus (Crustacea, Cladocera) on the abundance, morphology, and prey community of Leptodora kindtii (Crustacea, Cladocera)
Their paper recently appeared in Hydrobiologia. In this paper they demonstrate interesting indirect ecological effects of the invasive predatory invertebrate (Bythotrephes) on a related native predator (Leptodora); probably by changing the composition of the zooplankton community upon which both predators depend, Bythotrephes has induced morphological changes in Leptodora.
