Changes in soil microbial community composition and organic carbon fractions in an integrated rice–crayfish farming system in subtropical China

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Integrated rice–crayfish farming system is a highly efficient artificial ecosystem in which the rice (Oryza sativa) variety ‘Jianzhen 2′ is cultivated in waterlogged paddy fields along with crayfish (Procambarus clarkii).

Benefits of Lobster Translocation to Fishery Productivity and Economics in Tasmania

open access: yesFisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
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.

First evidence of crayfish plague agent in populations of the marbled crayfish (Procambarus fallax forma virginalis)

open access: yesKnowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2014
The introduction of non-indigenous species and associated diseases can cause declines in indigenous flora and fauna and threaten local biodiversity.

BIOECONOMIC MANAGEMENT OF RED SWAMP CRAYFISH (PROCAMBARUS CLARKII) IN THE PRESENCE OF ENVIRONMENTAL EXTERNALITIES [PDF]

open access: yes
Red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) is a valuable renewable resource which creates significant negative externalities to its environment. Crayfish can cause severe crop damage by burrowing in fields and using irrigation systems to spread.

Environmental DNA (eDNA) detects the invasive rusty crayfish Orconectes rusticus at low abundances

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, 2016
Summary Early detection is invaluable for the cost‐effective control and eradication of invasive species, yet many traditional sampling techniques are ineffective at the low population abundances found at the onset of the invasion process.

Effects of the Invasive Round Goby on Swedish Recreational Fishing Values

open access: yesFisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The round goby, an invasive fish from the Black and Caspian Seas, has spread to Swedish waters, threatening recreational fisheries. We modeled impacts on the future recreational fishery in Sweden using data from a recreational fishing survey, and estimated effects of the round goby on other fish species. Values attached to recreational fishing

Nonconsumptive predator effects modify crayfish‐induced bioturbation as mediated by limb loss: Field and mesocosm experiments

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2020
We addressed the implications of limb loss and regeneration for multispecies interactions and their impacts on ecosystem engineering in freshwater stream environments. We included regenerative and nonregenerative crayfish as well as fish predators in a 2

Functional morphology of the primary olfactory centers in the brain of the hermit crab Coenobita clypeatus (Anomala, Coenobitidae)

open access: yes, 2020
Terrestrial hermit crabs of the genus Coenobita display strong behavioral responses to volatile odors and are attracted by chemical cues of various potential food sources.

Behavior and season affect crayfish detection and density inference using environmental DNA

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2017
Although the presence/absence of aquatic invertebrates using environmental DNA (eDNA) has been established for several species, inferring population densities has remained problematic. The invasive American signal crayfish, Pacifastacus leniusculus (Dana)

Resilience of riparian spiders to floods: evidence from a mesocosm study

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Mesocosm experiment to assess the impact of flood duration on flood‐naïve riparian spider communities. In May, spider richness decreased with flood duration, while in June, flood duration increased abundance, richness and promoted wetland specialists. Flood‐naïve riparian spiders unexpectedly appear highly resilient to flooding.
