The Dynamics of Reading Genre Fiction: Researching and Teaching Interpretive Practices

Reading Research Quarterly, Volume 61, Issue 2, April/May/June 2026.
Conceptual model positioning genre fiction as a site for studying how narrative form organizes reader interpretation, identifying four dynamics—iterability, narrative interest, serialization, and spectacle—to guide empirical research on reading processes.

Signatures of Wild Animal Life in Earth's Landscapes

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Animals shape Earth surface processes and landforms by displacing Earth surface materials and by making them more or less susceptible to geophysical processes. Despite increased recognition of the global significance of animal landscape “signatures”, analysis of their magnitude and generality has not been possible until now.

Benefits of Lobster Translocation to Fishery Productivity and Economics in Tasmania

Fisheries Management and Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 271-281, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Large‐scale translocation of Southern Rock Lobsters, Jasus edwardsii, in Tasmania has been conducted for over two decades. This involves moving slow‐growing lobsters from deep‐water areas to inshore, warmer areas to increase growth rates and improve commercial characteristics, especially shell color.

HABITAT PREFERENCE OF DIFFERENT SIZE CLASSES OF AUSTROPOTAMOBIUS PALLIPES IN AN IRISH RIVER

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2003
Juvenile and immature crayfish are more difficult to find than adults and in consequence rather little is known about their habitat preferences. Smaller crayfish are able to inhabit different areas within the stream compared to adult crayfish.

Comparative analysis of morphology, growth performance and gonadal development between the hybrid crab (Scylla serrata ♀ × S. paramamosian ♂) and S. serrata

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 57, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract Interspecific hybridization, through integrating genetic resources across distinct species, serves as a pivotal strategy for improving yield, stress resistance, and quality in aquacultural species. To evaluate the performance of hybrid crab (Scylla serrata ♀ × S.

Investigation of the gut microbiome community, abundance, and functions of Procambarus clarkii under different aquaculture conditions

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 57, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract To examine the gut microbial composition and functional attributes of red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) across different rearing environments, this experiment employed high‐throughput sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene of bacterial DNA isolated from the gut.

Aphanomycosis of crayfish: crayfish plague

, 2000
This is the Aphanomycosis of crayfish: crayfish plague report produced by the Environment Agency in 2000. Crayfish plague is an extremely virulent fungal disease of European crayfish species, the white clawed or stone crayfish of Western Europe Austropotamobius pallipes, the Noble crayfish of northern Europe Astacus astacus and the narrow clawed ...
