Study on Phototaxis and Food‐Inducing Effects in Procambarus clarkii

Aquaculture Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
As a globally significant freshwater aquaculture species, Procambarus clarkii has attracted considerable attention due to its economic value. Understanding its behavioral characteristics is crucial for improving aquaculture practices. This study systematically investigated the effects of different light conditions and feeding attractants on P.

Phylogeographic and Genomic Insights Unveil the Evolutionary History and Post‐Glacial Recolonization Routes of the Palmate Newt (Lissotriton helveticus) Into Europe

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2025.
This study investigates the evolutionary and biogeographic history of the palmate newt (Lissotriton helveticus) by generating a genomic dataset from over 200 specimens across the entire distribution range of the species. ABSTRACT Quaternary glacial cycles have been key drivers of diversification for Holarctic species, promoting divergence, isolation ...

eDNA‐Based Detection of Invasive Crayfish and Crayfish Plague in Estonia

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 3, May–June 2025.
Our study explored the potential of integrating the eDNA approach into ongoing annual monitoring programs for invasive crayfish species and A. astaci. Crayfish eDNA was detected in 9 out of 14 water bodies where presence was confirmed by trapping, yielding 64% detection efficiency. eDNA from A.

SmartScreen‐AIS: A High‐Throughput qPCR Chip for Nationwide Surveillance of Aquatic Invasive Species

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 3, May–June 2025.
We present a high‐throughput qPCR chip with 46 assays for early detection of aquatic invasive species. It was validated for use throughout the continental United States and can be subdivided into smaller assay panels as needed for specific regions or biomes.

Clonal genome evolution of the marbled crayfish, Procambarus virginalis [PDF]

, 2018
Marbled crayfish (Procambarus virginalis) are the only freshwater crayfish known to reproduce by cloning (apomictic parthenogenesis). Notably, among genetically identical offspring raised in the same environment, distinct phenotypic differences can be ...
