Microplastic burden in invasive signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) increases along a stream urbanization gradient [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Microplastics are a globally pervasive pollutant with the potential to directly impact species and accumulate in ecosystems. However, there remains a relative paucity of research addressing their accumulation in freshwater ecosystems and a near absence ...

eDNA-based detection of the invasive crayfish Pacifastacus leniusculus in streams with a LAMP assay using dependent replicates to gain higher sensitivity [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 LAMP assays are becoming increasingly popular in the field of invasive species detection but are still underused in eDNA-based monitoring. Here, we propose a LAMP assay designed to detect the North American crayfish species Pacifastacus leniusculus in ...

Phylogenetic species delimitation for crayfishes of the genus Pacifastacus [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 Molecular genetic approaches are playing an increasing role in conservation science by identifying biodiversity that may not be evident by morphology-based taxonomy and systematics.

Bacteria-Induced Dscam Isoforms of the Crustacean, Pacifastacus leniusculus. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2011 The Down syndrome cell adhesion molecule, also known as Dscam, is a member of the immunoglobulin super family. Dscam plays an essential function in neuronal wiring and appears to be involved in innate immune reactions in insects.

Observation of museum specimens of the genus Pacifastacus Bott, 1950 (Decapoda: Astacidae)
Nauplius, 2018 Until recently, three subspecies had traditionally been recognized in the astacid species Pacifastacus leniusculus (Dana, 1852): Pacifastacus leniusculus leniusculus, Pacifastacus leniusculus klamathensis (Stimpson, 1857), and Pacifastacus leniusculus ...

DISTRIBUTION OF CRAYFISH IN SALZBURG, AUSTRIA
Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2005 Mapping of crayfish populations in the province of Salzburg was carried out in the years 2002 and 2003. Five crayfish species were found, two of them native: Astacus astacus and Austropotamobius torrentium, and three foreign: Astacus leptodactylus ...

Environmental DNA‐based methods detect the invasion front of an advancing signal crayfish population
Environmental DNA, 2022 Aquatic invasive species, such as the signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus), present a major threat to freshwater ecosystems. However, these species can be challenging to detect in recently invaded habitats.
