Color variation in signal crayfish Pacifastacus leniusculus. [PDF]
Curr Zool, 2021 Abstract 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 evolution and function.

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.

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 ...

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 ...

Modulation of endogenous antioxidants by zinc and copper in signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus). [PDF]
Chemosphere, 2021 Metal pollution is a long-standing concern and bioindicators are commonly used in ecotoxicological studies to monitor impacted wildlife populations for evidence of sublethal effects. Significant variation in the response of common biomarkers to metals is reported across taxa, thus necessitating careful characterization in model organisms. In this study,

The hematopoietic tissue of the freshwater crayfish, Pacifastacus leniusculus: organization and expression analysis. [PDF]
Cell Tissue ResAbstract The hematopoietic tissue (HPT) and anterior proliferation center (APC) are the main hemocyte-producing organs of the freshwater crayfish, Pacifastacus leniusculus. To deepen our understanding of immune responses to various pathogens, it is essential to identify distinct hemocyte subpopulations with specific functions and to further ...

Impacts of the North American signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) on European ecosystems. [PDF]
Environ Sci Eur, 2015 As a vector of the crayfish plague (Aphanomyces astaci), invasive crayfish pose a major threat to endemic crayfish species in Europe. But do they affect whole ecosystems and fish species as well? A comprehensive review was done using online search engines on current literature to elucidate possible crayfish effects.

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.
