Decoupled conservatism of Grinnellian and Eltonian niches in an invasive arthropod

Ecosphere, 2010
Whether a species niche is conserved or shifts across space and time is a question of heightened interest in ecology and evolution. Considerable scientific inquiry into this topic has used invasive species to evaluate conservatism of the Grinnellian ...

REDUCING THE THREAT TO CONTROL INVASIVE SIGNAL CRAYFISH REDUCING: THE POTENTIAL USE OF PHEROMONES

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2003
The need for an effective method of controlling invasive species of crayfish is of utmost importance given the plight of Europe’s native crayfish species. Many techniques have been applied to the growing problem with little success.

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

Environmental 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.

Processing of an Antibacterial Peptide from Hemocyanin of the Freshwater Crayfish Pacifastacus leniusculus [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2003
An antibacterial peptide with 16 amino acid residues was found in plasma of the freshwater crayfish, Pacifastacus leniusculus. This peptide, designated astacidin 1, was purified by cation-exchange column chromatography and reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography.

Proteomic profiling of the signal crayfish Pacifastacus leniusculus egg and spermatophore

Animal Reproduction Science, 2014
Proteins of the signal crayfish Pacifastacus leniusculus egg and spermatophore were identified using in-gel digestion, mass spectrometry, and Mascot search. Forty-one and one-hundred-fifty proteins were identified in egg and spermatophore, respectively.

Advancing Environmental DNA Methods for Monitoring the Reproduction of Quagga and Zebra Mussels in Lakes

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Invasive alien mussels threaten freshwater ecosystems worldwide by disrupting food webs and nutrient cycling. The effective monitoring of these populations is therefore essential to assess their spread and ecological impacts. This study demonstrates the applicability of environmental DNA (eDNA) methods to monitor the reproductive periods of ...
