4794 Dikerogammarus villosus Predation/Herbivory Experimental Laboratory Dikerogammarus villosus are prey for crayfish, including Procambarus virginalis and Pacifastacus leniusculus, but it in turn consumes their eggs and hatchlings and can diminish their populations 37180
4795 Dikerogammarus villosus Predation/Herbivory Experimental Laboratory D. villosus consumed early-stage amphibians (Rana temporaria and Xenopus laevis) resulting in a potentially destabilizing Type II functional response, which could eventually result in the extirpation of the amphibians 37184
4798 Dikerogammarus villosus Predation/Herbivory Experimental Laboratory In a laboratory experiment, the replacement of indigenous amphipods by Dikerogammarus villosus resulted in a decrease in leaf litter composition and altered microbial community that could lead to effects on benthic food webs 37163
