Observation of museum specimens of the genus Pacifastacus Bott, 1950 (Decapoda: Astacidae) [PDF]
Until recently, three subspecies had traditionally been recognized in the astacid species Pacifastacus leniusculus (Dana, 1852): Pacifastacus leniusculus leniusculus, Pacifastacus leniusculus klamathensis (Stimpson, 1857), and Pacifastacus leniusculus ...

Comparative Ultrastructure and Carbohydrate Composition of Gastroliths from Astacidae, Cambaridae and Parastacidae Freshwater Crayfish (Crustacea, Decapoda) [PDF]
Crustaceans have to cyclically replace their rigid exoskeleton in order to grow. Most of them harden this skeleton by a calcification process. Some decapods (land crabs, lobsters and crayfish) elaborate calcium storage structures as a reservoir of ...

Niche dynamics along two centuries of multiple crayfish invasions
A historical ecology approach unveiled how the realised niche of a European crayfish species changed since 1850. In response to the introduction of two North American crayfish species, along with a lethal pathogen, its niche shrank and shifted towards more abrupt, headwater environments where the overseas invaders have not arrived.
