Escape rooms: behavioural response of two invasive crayfish species under water decline scenarios
Climate 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]
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 ...

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 ...

The Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis) is considered amongst the most damaging invasive species globally; however, the UK distribution of the species is not well known, with current management protocols reliant on reports of individual sightings. In this study, the first probe‐based, species‐specific qPCR assay was developed for the detection of ...

Invasive crayfish impacts on native fish diet and growth vary with fish life stage [PDF]
Assessing the impacts of invasive organisms is a major challenge in ecology. Some widespread invasive species such as crayfish are potential competitors and reciprocal predators of ecologically and recreationally important native fish species.
