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.

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.

, 2020 Signal crayfish Pacifastacus leniusculus (Dana, 1852) Signal crayfish were introduced into Latvia from Lithuania in 1983 and 1984 and released into Primmas Lake in 1983-1985 (Mjasischev 1991). They were raised in a fish farm on the Gauja’s tributary, the Brasla, from which it entered this river.

Transglutaminase activity in the hematopoietic tissue of a crustacean, Pacifastacus leniusculus, importance in hemocyte homeostasis. [PDF]
BMC Immunol, 2008 Abstract Background Transglutaminases (TGases) form a group of enzymes that have many different substrates and among the most well known are fibrin for Factor XIIIa and the clotting protein in crustaceans. We also found that TGase is an abundant protein in the hematopoietic tissue (Hpt) cells of crayfish and hence we ...

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2005 In Bavarian freshwater systems, the stone crayfish Austropotamobius torrentium is still present in many headwaters of Danubian tributaries. Since the 1960s an alien species, the signal crayfish Pacifastacus leniusculus, was introduced several times ...
