A new species of Procambarus (Decapoda, Cambaridae) from the State of Querétaro, Mexico [PDF]

ZooKeys, 2021
With a Nearctic distribution, the family Cambaridae harbors a high species richness in Mexico, which is also evident along the Pánuco River catchment. A series of surveys carried on in five populations from the Sierra Gorda Biosphere Reserve in the State

Phylogenetic Diversity of the Red Swamp Crayfish Procambarus clarkii and Its Dispersal Pattern in Northern and Central Italy [PDF]

Biology, 2023
The red swamp crayfish Procambarus clarkii is one of the most threatening freshwater species in the world. The aim of this study is to provide a better understanding of the phylogeography and the invasion routes of P.

DNA barcoding is currently unreliable for species identification in most crayfishes [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
DNA barcoding is commonly used for species identification. Despite this, there has not been a comprehensive assessment of the utility of DNA barcoding in crayfishes (Decapoda: Astacidea).

The extraordinary satellitome diversity of freshwater crayfish: a driver of genome evolution [PDF]

Mobile DNA
Background Repetitive elements, particularly satellite DNA (satDNA), play a significant role in genome evolution and organisation. However, their diversity and evolutionary dynamics remain poorly understood in non-model organisms.

Invasion and Dispersion of the Exotic Species Procambarus clarkii (Decapoda Cambaridae) in Yeongsan River Basin, South Korea [PDF]

Animals, 2021
The introduction of exotic species negatively affects the distribution and interactions within local biological communities in an ecosystem and can threaten ecosystem health. This study aimed to provide the basic data required to manage P. clarkii in the

Some Like It Cold: Long‐Term Assessment of a Near‐Global Invader [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Long‐term studies depicting the multicontinental invasion trajectories of species are often constrained by the scarcity of documented records, especially for invertebrates. The red swamp crayfish, Procambarus clarkii (Decapoda: Cambaridae), stands out as

Prevalence and diversity of Aphanomyces astaci in cambarid crayfish of Pennsylvania: where native and introduced hosts meet [PDF]

Parasitology
The crayfish plague pathogen Aphanomyces astaci (Oomycota: Saprolegniales) is native to North America but expanded with its crayfish hosts to other regions. In most of its invaded range, A. astaci haplotypes are associated with specific American crayfish,
