“…To exclude the effects of different mesohabitat structures on sex, size or other performance indicators, sampling exclusively focused on rip-rap structures (technolithal) which were previously found to be the preferred habitat of invasive round goby in the Danube River [ 19 , 60 ], representing about ⅔ of the available bank habitat in the study area. Since the dispersal of invasive gobies appears to be highly anisotropic following rip-rap banks along the river [ 40 ], samples from the different river sides were treated as independent samples. Thus, two spatially distant, representative rip-rap areas were chosen randomly to mirror the comparably “old” round goby population in the “established area” (stretches #1 and #2) where sampling was conducted at the right shoreline.…”

“…This narrow time window was chosen to allow comparability with previous studies (e.g. [ 17 , 40 ]) and to minimize any bias related to consideration of different lengths of growth periods. Fishes were collected during daylight from shorelines (in ~60 cm water depth) by PAS of electrofishing (ELT62-IID; Grassl GmbH, Berchtesgaden, Germany) with a duration of 10 s and a distance of 10 m between individual points, following [ 19 ].…”

“…Primarily, large sized pioneering invaders with increased exploratory behavior [ 57 ], high phenotypic plasticity [ 38 ] and an increased competitive ability [ 17 ] seem to act as (prime) emperors of new habitats, hereby strongly following man-made river-bank structures [ 40 ]. Thus, bigger specimens seem to be a definite characteristic of a round goby invasion front.…”

“…With increasing numbers of rapid range expansions, N . melanostomus invasions have been reported from the Laurentian Great Lakes watershed [ 28 – 31 ], from almost the entire Baltic Sea region [ 32 – 34 ] and from many other large European waterbodies, including the Rivers Oder, Elbe, Weser, Rhine [ 35 – 37 ] and the Danube [ 13 , 17 , 19 , 38 – 40 ].

“…[ 41 – 44 ]) have accelerated substantial scientific interest in this species worldwide (reviewed in Kornis [ 29 ]). Studies on this species have focused on sampling methods [ 45 ], feeding ecology [ 19 ], parasitology [ 46 ], genetics [ 47 ], morphology [ 38 ], reproduction [ 48 ], plasticity in life history traits [ 17 ], individual performance [ 13 ] and range expansion [ 37 , 40 ] of round goby.

Invasion strategies in round goby (Neogobius melanostomus): Is bigger really better?

Few studies have systematically investigated mid- or long-term temporal changes of biological characteristics in invasive alien species considering the different phases of an invasion. We studied the invasion performance of one of the most invasive species worldwide, the round goby Neogobius melanostomus, from total absence over first occurrence until establishment from 2010 to 2015 in the upper Danube River. After an upstream movement of the invasion front of about 30 river km within four years, the pattern that round goby pioneering populations significantly differ from longer established ones has been confirmed: Pioneering populations at the invasion front comprised more females than males, and adult specimens with a larger body size compared to those at longer inhabited areas. On the population-level, the proportion of juveniles increased with time since invasion. The results of this study provide support for the previously postulated ´bigger is better´ and ´individual trait utility´ hypotheses explaining invasion success in round goby. Pioneering invaders with their greater exploratory behavior, highly adaptive phenotypic plasticity and increased competitive ability seem to act as prime emperors of new habitats, strongly following and benefiting from man-made river-bank structures.

Introduction Many health benefits are claimed by individuals and facilities promoting sauna bathing; however the medical evidence to support these claims is not well established. This paper aims to systematically review recent research on the effects of repeated dry sauna interventions on human health. Methods A systematic search was made of medical databases for studies reporting on the health effects of regular dry sauna bathing on humans from 2000 onwards. Risk of bias was assessed according to the Cochrane Collaboration guidelines. Results Forty clinical studies involving a total of 3855 participants met the inclusion criteria. Only 13 studies were randomized controlled trials and most studies were small (n < 40). Reported outcome measures were heterogeneous with most studies reporting beneficial health effects. Only one small study (n = 10) reported an adverse health outcome of disrupted male spermatogenesis, demonstrated to be reversible when ceasing sauna activity. Conclusions Regular dry sauna bathing has potential health benefits. More data of higher quality is needed on the frequency and extent of adverse side effects. Further study is also needed to determine the optimal frequency and duration of distinct types of sauna bathing for targeted health effects and the specific clinical populations who are most likely to benefit.
