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 ...

The hepatopancreas and ovary are the sites of vitellogenin synthesis in female red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii (Girard, 1852)) (Decapoda: Astacoidea: Cambaridae) [PDF]
Vitellogenin (Vg) is the precursor of vitellin, the major yolk protein. The site of Vg synthesis in crustaceans remains controversial. This study investigated the synthesis site of Vg in female red swamp crayfish Procambarus clarkii (Girard, 1852). Results revealed that the mRNA of Vg was detected in the tissues of hepatopancreas of P. clarkii . The
