Integration of visual stimuli by the crayfish central nervous system [PDF]

, 1967
For the crayfish, properties of visually reacting interneurone types in the optic nerve are described on the basis of single-unit analysis. Sustaining fibres show: (a) ‘surround’ inhibition over the whole retina, including the excitatory field; (b) ‘on’

Stochastic colonization, transient and boom–bust dynamics shape invasions by native taxa

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Boom–bust dynamics (BBD) is a population dynamic pattern described in invasion ecology, where a population suddenly increases (boom) before quickly declining (bust), eventually stabilizing at much lower levels. This initial outbreak is considered a transient phase preceding a long‐term population equilibrium.

Neuronal Pathways and Synaptic Connexions in the Abdominal Cord of the Crayfish [PDF]

, 1959
1. An investigation has been made into the function and distribution of nerve fibres in the abdominal ganglion chain and its roots in the crayfish, Procambarus clarkii, by leading off action potentials from small prepared bundles following sensory ...

Interactive effects between burrowing crayfish and flow conditions increase riverbank erosion: A flume experiment

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 5, May 2026.
Biological and geomorphic effects have been treated independently in fluvial geomorphology. Flume experiments with burrowing crayfish show that interactions between these drivers do more geomorphic work than the sum of their maximum independent parts combined, meaning total biogeomorphic effects to rivers are likely underestimated.

Inactivation Strategies of Clostridium perfringens in Foods: Current Challenges and Emerging Interventions

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 3, May 2026.
Clostridium perfringens forms heat‐resistant spores that complicate food safety. Physical methods (thermal processing, HPP, vacuum cooling, ozone treatments) and chemical interventions (natural antimicrobials, phosphates, nitrate/nitrite, organic acids) reduce vegetative cells and spores, though spore resistance remains a major challenge in food and ...

Effect of Liquid Nitrogen Freezing on Maintaining the Quality of Crayfish During Freeze–Thaw Cycles: Muscle Structure and Myofibrillar Proteins Properties

Foods
The quality of frozen crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) is challenged by freeze–thaw (FT) cycles during storage. The effect of freezing methods on the quality of crayfish during FT cycles was investigated by comparing physicochemical properties ...

Factors Regulating the Discharge Frequency in Optomotor Fibres Of Carcinus Maenas [PDF]

, 1971
The influence of the excited state of the animal on various motor neurone discharges and accompanying muscle action potentials was studied in the eyestalk of the crab, Carcinus maenas.

Spatial‐temporal patterns of perfluoroalkyl substances in the biota of the Laurentian Great Lakes: A meta‐analysis

Journal of Environmental Quality, Volume 55, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract To better understand the dynamics of per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in complex freshwater ecosystems, we performed a systematic meta‐analysis of PFAS distributions and spatiotemporal variance in biota of the Laurentian Great Lakes watersheds.

Crustacean and Mollusc Shell Proteins: Origin, Structure, and Functionality

Journal of Food Science, Volume 91, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Crustacean and molluscan processing as seafood generates a significant amount of shell waste annually, owing to the dense, mineral‐rich composition of the exoskeleton. Although valorization efforts have mostly focused on chitin and chitosan, the protein fraction remains underutilized despite its prominent nutritional, functional, and sensory ...

The Effects of Intraspecific Variation of Crayfish Behavior on Nutrient Cycling in Aquatic Environments [PDF]

, 2020
Human activities are rapidly altering species traits at a global scale. Yet, there remains a critical need to determine whether trait variation within species affects ecosystem responses to global change. In particular, intraspecific variation in feeding
