Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Joe M Caffrey"
- Joe M Caffrey's research primarily focuses on the control and management of invasive alien species in freshwater ecosystems, particularly targeting high-impact invaders such as the Asian clam (*Corbicula fluminea*) and zebra mussel (*Dreissena polymorpha*).
- His studies explore novel techniques for population control, including the use of thermal shock treatments, steam, and flame applications, emphasizing the need for cost-effective methods that minimize environmental impact.
- Caffrey also investigates biosecurity measures to prevent the spread of invasive species like the killer shrimp (*Dikerogammarus villosus*) and examines the prevalence of biliary parasites in native and introduced carnivores in Ireland, highlighting the ecological and economic implications of these invasive species.
