Deterioration of the Littoral–Benthic Ecosystem Following Recent Expansion of Signal Crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) in the World’s Clearest Large Lake

open access: yesEcosystems, 2023
Some biological invasions can result in algae blooms in the nearshore of clear lakes. We studied if an invasive crayfish ( Pacifastacus leniusculus ) modified the biomass and community composition of benthic macroinvertebrates and therefore led to a ...

Observation of museum specimens of the genus Pacifastacus Bott, 1950 (Decapoda: Astacidae)

open access: yesNauplius, 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 ...

Unraveling multipredator impacts in salmon-bearing rivers using quantitative DNA metabarcoding. [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Appl
Abstract Ecological impacts of invasive species are mounting as their numbers and geographic extent continue to increase. Across extensive parts of their range, Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) smolts face an expanding gauntlet of nonnative predators during their seaward migration.

Nikkelin kertyminen täplärapuun (Pacifastacus leniusculus) kahdessa eri lämpötilassa

open access: green, 2017
Nickel accumulation in signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) at two different temperatures. Metal emissions caused by industrial mining activities are a world-wide environmental problem. In these emissions metals are often in the form of sulfide or chloride which are readily bioavailable to biota.

Understanding the threats posed by non-native species: public vs. conservation managers. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Public perception is a key factor influencing current conservation policy. Therefore, it is important to determine the influence of the public, end-users and scientists on the prioritisation of conservation issues and the direct implications for policy ...

Diel turbidity cycles in a headwater stream: evidence of nocturnal bioturbation? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Purpose: A small number of recent studies have linked daily cycles in stream turbidity to nocturnal bioturbation by aquatic fauna, principally crayfish, and demonstrated this process can significantly impact upon water quality under baseflow conditions ...

The signal crayfish Pacifastacus leniusculus (Dana, 1852) (Crustacea, Decapoda) is threatening the near future of Margaritifera margaritifera Linnaeus, 1758 (Bivalvia, Unionoida) in the Negro River (NW Zamora, Spain)

open access: yesAnimal Biodiversity and Conservation, 2023
We studied the incidence of the signal crayfish on a population of Margaritifera margaritifera in the Negro River (Zamora, Spain) during the summers of 2019 to 2022.

DETERMINATION OF THE RATE OF GROWTH OF PACIFASTACUS LENIUSCULUS IN LAKE POBŁĘDZIE, USING POLYMODAL LENGTH FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTION ANALYSIS

open access: yesKnowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2006
This study estimated the rate of growth of Pacifastacus leniusculus using the sizefrequency data analysis in Lake Pobłędzie NE Poland. A sample of 1,342 individuals (645 males and 697 females) was collected with baited traps in late September 2002.

Environmental DNA‐based methods detect the invasion front of an advancing signal crayfish population

open access: yesEnvironmental 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.
