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 ...

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.

Prevalence of the crayfish plague pathogen Aphanomyces astaci in populations of the signal crayfish Pacifastacus leniusculus in France: evaluating the threat to native crayfish. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Aphanomyces astaci, the crayfish plague pathogen, first appeared in Europe in the mid-19(th) century and is still responsible for mass mortalities of native European crayfish.

Diversity and Prevalence of Fungi Associated with Freshwater Crayfish in Three Regions of Lithuania: A First Assessment [PDF]
MicroorganismsFungi play an important role in freshwater ecosystems, yet their diversity and distribution among crayfish species remain poorly understood. We analyzed the diversity of fungi in four crayfish species (Astacus astacus, Faxonius limosus, Pacifastacus ...
