Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT The field of environmental DNA (eDNA) is rapidly expanding with established applications in biodiversity monitoring, rare species detection and ecological assessment. However, its potential to evaluate species connectivity in fragmented aquatic systems remains underexplored.

The home range of the signal crayfish in a British lowland river [PDF]
, 1997 The signal crayfish Pacifastacus leniusculus (Dana), a native of north-western North America, is now a common resident in some British fresh waters following its introduction to England in 1976 (Lowery & Holdich 1988).

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT Invasive non‐native species threaten freshwater ecosystems, disrupting the functioning and structure of the food chain and potentially leading to biodiversity loss. As omnivores, crayfish can modify their environment, directly affecting organisms such as macroinvertebrates.

Genetička raznolikost invazivne strane vrste Pacifastacus leniusculus u Hrvatskoj [PDF]
, 2017 Signalni rak (Pacifastacus leniusculus) je vrsta autohtona za područje Sjeverne Amerike. Introduciran je na područje Europe i Japana gdje se ubrzo proširio kao invazivna vrsta. U Hrvatskoj je rasprostranjen u rijekama Muri i Dravi u koje se nizvodno proširio iz Slovenije te u rijeci Korani u koju je nedavno ilegalno unesen.

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 ...

, 2018 Alien predators can have large impacts on prey. It is important that we understand, and ideally predict, these impacts. Here, we compare predatory impacts of size-matched decapod crustaceans—invasive alien Eriocheir sinensis and Pacifastacus leniusculus,

Unraveling multipredator impacts in salmon‐bearing rivers using quantitative DNA metabarcoding
Ecological Applications, Volume 35, Issue 8, December 2025.Abstract Ecological impacts of invasive species are mounting as their numbers and geographic extent continue to increase. Across extensive parts of their range, Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) smolts face an expanding gauntlet of nonnative predators during their seaward migration.

Escape rooms: behavioural response of two invasive crayfish species under water decline scenarios
Journal of LimnologyClimate change and invasive alien species pose a significant threat to biodiversity and the survival of native species. This study considered the impact of drought conditions on the escape behaviour through terrestrial dispersal ability of two invasive ...

Lectins and cytokines in celomatic invertebrates: two tales with the same end [PDF]
Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2010 The paper presents the principle data regarding the presence and the roles of lectins and cytokines in invertebrates. The former have been described in the main invertebrate taxa, such molluscs, annelids, arthropods, echinoderms and tunicates, while ...
