Retraction: Bacteria-Induced Dscam Isoforms of the Crustacean, Pacifastacus leniusculus. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2016 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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

ON SELECTED MORPHOMECHANICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF SIGNAL CRAYFISH (PACIFASTACUS LENIUSCULUS DANA) EGGS DURING INCUBATION [PDF]
Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2004 Changes in resistance to mechanical pressure during embryogenesis were studied in the signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus Dana). A constant increase in egg size (volume and surface area) was observed to take place throughout the embryonic ...
