Recurring infection by crayfish plague pathogen only marginally affects survival and growth of marbled crayfish [PDF]
NeoBiota, 2022 Invasive alien crayfish threaten the diversity of freshwater ecosystems and native crayfish fauna. In Europe, this is largely due to transmission of the crayfish plague to susceptible native crayfish.

Round goby versus marbled crayfish: alien invasive predators and competitors
Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2021 Aquatic biodiversity is threatened by spread of invasive alien species. Round goby Neogobius melanostomus is an invasive fish in large European rivers as well as in coastal waters near their mouths and marbled crayfish Procambarus virginalis is a highly ...

Aversive operant conditioning alters the phototactic orientation of the marbled crayfish [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2021 ABSTRACTAversive learning was applied to affect the phototactic behaviour of the marbled crayfish. Animals initially showed negative phototaxis to white light and positive taxis to blue light. Using an aversive learning paradigm, we investigated the plasticity of innate behaviour following operant conditioning.

The circadian biology of the marbled crayfish
Frontiers in Bioscience, 2010 The parthenogenetic marbled crayfish (Procambarus spec.) has recently been introduced as a new preparation for neuroethological studies. Since isogeneity apparently limits inter-individual variation, this otherwise typical decapod species may be especially valuable for circadian studies.

The gene encoding the insulin-like androgenic gland hormone in an all-female parthenogenetic crayfish. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Male sexual differentiation in crustaceans is controlled by the androgenic gland (AG), a unique male endocrine organ that, in decapods, is located at the base of the 5th pereiopod.

Hungary: a European hotspot of non-native crayfish biodiversity
Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2020 There is a long history of crayfish introductions in Europe and numbers keep increasing. In Hungary, spiny-cheek crayfish Faxonius limosus, signal crayfish Pacifastacus leniusculus, red swamp crayfish Procambarus clarkii, marbled crayfish P.
