Color variation in signal crayfish Pacifastacus leniusculus. [PDF]
External coloration in animals depends on the interaction of several different factors including the genetics and epigenetics processes that underlie the color expression, the mechanisms of color perception, and the general mechanisms controlling color ...

Differential elemental accumulation of the signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) along an invasion gradient [PDF]
The non-native signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) can influence elemental cycling in aquatic ecosystems through bioaccumulation and transfer of chemical elements, with potential spatial variation along invasion gradients.

Responses of signal crayfish Pacifastacus leniusculus to single short-term pulse exposure of pesticides at environmentally relevant concentrations. [PDF]
Although pesticides are often discharged into surface waters in pulses as opposed to a sustained release, the effect of episodic pollution events on freshwater crayfish is largely unknown.

Retraction: Bacteria-Induced Dscam Isoforms of the Crustacean, Pacifastacus leniusculus. [PDF]
After publication of the article, a reader raised concerns about two figures: In Figure 5A, lane 1 looks very similar to the top band in lane 7 and lane 2 looks very similar to the top band in lane 5. In Figure 7B, in the P/Dscam panel, lanes 1 through 6 all look very similar to each other; in the WWSV VP28 panel, lanes 2 and 3 look very ...

Getting rid of 'rain' and 'stars': Mitigating inhibition effects on ddPCR data analysis, the case study of the invasive crayfish Pacifastacus leniusculus in the streams of Luxembourg. [PDF]
ddPCR is becoming one of the most widely used tool in the field of eDNA-based aquatic monitoring. Although emulsion PCR used in ddPCR confers a partial mitigation to inhibition due to the high number of reactions for a single sample (between 10K and 20K),

Better Alone Than in Bad Company: Trophic Ecology of Co-Occurring Invasive and Native Crayfish. [PDF]
This study investigated and compared trophic interactions between invasive signal crayfish and native white‐clawed crayfish at sites of co‐occurrence and in allopatry. The presence of crayfish plague, body condition, and trophic niche traits were explored as possible factors that make invasive signal crayfish a strong competitor, enhancing its ...
