Life history of the coal fields crayfish Cambarus theepiensis Loughman, Foltz, Garrison and Welsh, 2013 (Decapoda: Astacoidea: Cambaridae) in southwestern West Virginia, USA [PDF]
Journal of Crustacean Biology, 2016 Data of the life history of Cambarus ( Puncticambarus ) theepiensis Loughman, Foltz, Garrison and Welsh, 2013 was collected monthly from May 2012 through April 2013 from two sites within the Twelvepole Creek watershed in southwestern West Virginia, USA. Mature females showed signs of glair development in early May.

Appendage regeneration after autotomy is mediated by Baboon in the crayfish Procambarus fallax f. virginalis Martin, Dorn, Kawai, Heiden and Scholtz, 2010 (Decapoda: Astacoidea: Cambaridae) [PDF]
Journal of Crustacean Biology, 2016 Autotomy is an adaptive response in which animals escape from predators by shedding their own appendages. It is made possible by the presence of an efficient mechanism for regeneration. Decapod crustaceans frequently exhibit excellent abilities to regenerate complete pereopods in just a few molts following autotomy.

Abundance and habitat associations of two Florida crayfishes, Procambarus paeninsulanus (Faxon, 1914) and P. fallax (Hagen, 1870) (Decapoda: Astacoidea), assessed with N-mixture modeling [PDF]
Journal of Crustacean Biology, 2018 The study of crayfishes in their native habitats is limited, even if crayfishes are economically and ecologically important. Such is the case in southeastern USA, a center of global crayfish diversity. This study investigated model-estimated abundance and habitat associations of Procambarus paeninsulanus (Faxon, 1914) and P. fallax (Hagen, 1870) in two

Journal of Crustacean Biology, 2019 AbstractFreshwater crayfishes use burrows for predator avoidance, desiccation prevention, foraging, and brood care. Based on their burrow ecology, crayfishes can be categorized as tertiary, secondary, or primary burrowers, with primary burrowers being semi-terrestrial and highly dependent on burrows for survival; secondary and tertiary burrowers have ...

Journal of Crustacean Biology, 2021 AbstractDespite the diversity in the size, performance, and function of crustacean claws (chelae), our understanding of the functional morphology and evolution of these claws are lacking. Since crayfish claws are multi-function organs that face selection from fighting, mating, foraging, and predation, these pressures all interact to shape the claws ...

Folia biologica, 2004 Twin stage 1 juveniles from the signal crayfish, Pacifastacus leniusculus, were observed in this study. No such observations have been found in the literature. The twins consist of two stage 1 juveniles that are fused at the head. Each juvenile has a separate abdomen and thorax and has the appropriate number of appendages and a telson, all ...
