APPLICATIONS OF PHYLOGENETICS TO ISSUES IN FRESHWATER CRAYFISH BIOLOGY

open access: yesKnowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2006
Freshwater crayfish have served as model organisms for over 125 years in scientific research, from areas such as neurobiology and vision research to conservation biology and evolution.

The home range of the signal crayfish in a British lowland river [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
The signal crayfish Pacifastacus leniusculus (Dana), a native of north-western North America, is now a common resident in some British fresh waters following its introduction to England in 1976 (Lowery & Holdich 1988).

Epizooic Diatoms on the Cerci of Ephemeroptera (Caenidae) Naiads [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Using scanning electron microscopy, epizooic diatoms were observed growing on the cerci of Caenis amica Hagen naiads (Ephemeroptera, Caenidae). Meridion circulare (Greville) C.

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

open access: yesJournal 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.

Overcoming taxonomic anxiety in conservation: A roadmap from the idle crayfish case

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Advances in taxonomy often uncover cryptic species nested within already protected taxa, raising concerns about the continuity of legal safeguards. While newly described species are not necessarily disconnected from existing protections, often being treated administratively as part of the original species complex, formal legislative updates ...

Newly discovered diversity within European branchiobdellids – a story of co-evolution and a need for conservation

open access: yesKnowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems
Branchiobdellids are small ectosymbiotic annelids living primarily on freshwater crayfish. Because humans frequently translocate crayfish, these symbionts can be co-translocated, with implications for biosecurity and conservation.

Interactions between invasive crayfish and native river shrimp

open access: yesKnowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2011
In the south of Portugal there are only two species of strictly freshwater decapods: the native freshwater shrimp Atyaephyra desmarestii and the exotic crayfish Procambarus clarkii. The aim of this study is to understand if the

Environmentally Grounded Pseudo‐Absence Sampling for Species Distribution Models: A Language Guided Framework

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Species Distribution Models (SDMs) are widely used in conservation planning, invasive species management and global change assessments. Their reliability depends on both presence and absence data, yet biodiversity databases are dominated by presence records, while true absences are rarely collected and geographically restricted.

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

open access: yes, 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
