Individual and population-scale carbon and nitrogen isotopic signatures of Procambarus clarkii in invaded freshwater ecosystems
Two geo-referenced datasets with carbon and nitrogen isotopic values of Procambarus clarkii in invaded inland waters resolved respectively at population- and individual-scale. The population-scale dataset consists of 160 δ13C and δ15N isotopic values of P. clarkii and its potential prey, including living and non-living primary producers and benthic invertebrates. The individual-scale dataset consists of 1,168 isotopic individual records of P. clarkii. The isotopic information included within the two datasets was gathered from 10 countries located in Europe, Asia, Africa, and North America, and from a total of 41 studies published between 2005 and 2021.

The population-scale dataset consists of 160 δ13C and δ15N isotopic values of P. clarkii and its potential prey, including living and non-living primary producers and benthic invertebrates. The individual-scale dataset consists of 1,168 isotopic individual records of P. clarkii.

Geographic Coverage
- Geographic Description
- The datasets gather isotopic values of P. clarkii and its potential prey (population-scale dataset only) in invaded lotic and lentic habitats of 10 countries located in Europe, Asia, Africa, and North America. Overall, the study sites were distributed over 27 locations in France mostly located in the Garonne floodplain, nine loations in the USA, seven in Japan, four in China and in Italy, two in Spain, and one in Hungary, Kenya, Portugal, and in the Netherlands.

- Title
- LifeWatch ERIC Internal Joint Initiative: the validation case "Functional biogeography of invasive species: the case of two widely-distributed omnivorous crustaceans".
- Abstract
- The Internal Joint Initiative of LifeWatch ERIC has developed five validation cases on Non-native and Invasive Species (NIS) to address a variety of ecological questions. The validation case "Functional biogeography of invasive species" aims at finding bioclimatic drivers to assess the variation of the trophic position of invasive crustaceans in non-native food webs.

Method Step
- Description
- The Google Scholar engine was used to search for relevant publications using the keywords "Procambaus clarkii" and "stable isotopes" and a total of 651 publications were returned. Publications were individually inspected in order to identify those reporting tabular or graphical information on the isotopic values of the crayfish and of potential prey; 41 studies performed in both freshwater and transitional environments and published between 2005 and 2021 were ultimately selected. For data extraction, figures were digitised after a fivefold enlargement and converted to numerical form using the WebPlotDigitizer graph capture software.
Method Step
- Description
- Only records with specified locations were included in the datasets. The location accuracy was checked using Google Earth and, when geographical coordinates were not explicit, the maps of the study sites were used to retrieve them from Google Earth. All geographic coordinates were converted to decimal degrees when not originally specified as such. A taxonomic check was additionally performed using the World Register of Marine Species, the GBIF Backbone Taxonomy, and the Integrated Taxonomic Information System to check the current accepted scientific names of all taxa included in the datasets.
Method Step
- Description
- Primary producers, including living (e.g. macrophytes, periphyton, etc.) and non-living (i.e. detritus) organisms were preferentially used as baseline species included in the aggregated dataset. In few instances, herbivorous gastropods, aquatic larval stages of insects, and other invertebrates occurring at the study sites and characterised by a trophic position = 2 were chosen (i.e. Stenopsyche marmorata, Macrobrachium nipponense, Ephydra sp., and Cheumatopsyche analis). Only in two cases, two species of vertebrate predators with a trophic position = 3 were included (i.e. Epophthalmia elegans and Hydrochara affinis).
