ON SELECTED MORPHOMECHANICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF SIGNAL CRAYFISH (PACIFASTACUS LENIUSCULUS DANA) EGGS DURING INCUBATION

open access: yesKnowledge 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 ...

Design and Validation of a Single‐Species Environmental DNA qPCR Assay for the Detection of the Invasive Chinese Mitten Crab Eriocheir sinensis

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 5, September–October 2025.
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 ...
