Comparative transcriptomics analyses of chemosensory genes of antenna in male red swamp crayfish Procambarus clarkii

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
The red swamp crayfish, Procambarus clarkii, is a globally invasive species and has caused huge damage to aquaculture, biodiversity, and ecology worldwide. Antenna-expressed receptors are important for P.

Devouring the Invaders: The Racial‐Ecological Politics of the Chinese Crayfish Trade in Kenya

American Anthropologist, Volume 128, Issue 1, Page 183-194, March 2026.
ABSTRACT This article examines entanglements of ecology, race, and foodways at Lake Naivasha in Kenya. Nonnative Louisiana red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii), first introduced to Kenya in the 1960s, were once viewed as invasive but are now sought after as a delicacy among Kenya's Chinese community.

Tracking the invasion of the red swamp crayfish Procambarus clarkii (Girard, 1852) (Decapoda Cambaridae) in Sicily: a “citizen science” approach

Biogeographia, 2017
The first record of the red swamp crayfish in Sicily dates back to 2003 and, since then, the species seemed to be confined to a few localities in western Sicily. A small “citizen science” project carried out from November 2016 onwards led to the creation

Molecular and Endocrine Regulation of Ovarian Maturation in the Black Tiger Prawn (Penaeus monodon) and Associated Challenges in Its Aquaculture

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Over the past four decades, substantial research has investigated the regulation of ovarian maturation and spawning in the black tiger prawn (Penaeus monodon). In this species, female reproduction is strongly suppressed by gonad‐inhibiting hormone (GIH) released from the eyestalk, making eyestalk ablation (ESA) the most widely adopted spawning‐

Redclaw Crayfish: Challenge or Resource? Voices of Fishers in Zambia

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Invasive species severely threaten biodiversity, ecosystem stability and local livelihoods, especially in vulnerable areas. Therefore, understanding community perceptions is vital for creating effective and inclusive management strategies. This study investigated perceived environmental and economic impacts of the invasive, Redclaw crayfish ...

Effects of common rice field weeds on the survival, feeding rate and feeding behaviour of the crayfish Procambarus clarkii

Scientific Reports, 2021
To check if it is possible for crayfish to reduce the weed biomass in a paddy field, we hypothesised that crayfish can feed on common weeds in a paddy field.

Assessing the context‐dependence of invasiveness in the Italian wall lizard (Podarcis siculus)

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 2, February 2026.
Although the Italian wall lizard (Podarcis siculus) is widely considered fully invasive, our study on Gorgona Island shows its spread is largely confined to human‐altered habitats. Native common wall lizards (P. muralis) persist in natural areas, indicating that Italian wall lizard invasiveness is context‐dependent and mediated by human‐altered ...

Impact of climate change mitigation strategies in rice farming on agroecosystem multifunctionality

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 2, February 2026.
These results suggest that, from a landscape management perspective, implementing a single irrigation strategy at large spatial scales should be discouraged due to potential negative effects on particular sets of ES components. Conversely, a mosaic of irrigation strategies should be implemented, promoting ES components aligned with site‐specific ...

CRAYFISH MANAGEMENT FOR SWISS WATERS

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2006
Seven species of crayfish are present in Swiss waters: three native ones (Astacus astacus, Austropotamobius pallipes, Austropotamobius torrentium) and four exotic ones (Astacus leptodactylus, Orconectes limosus, Pacifastacus leniusculus, Procambarus ...

Preventing the next invasion: Lessons from aquaculture for the safe expansion of insect farming

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 2, February 2026.
We argue that preemptive risk assessments, species screening and transferable, adaptive regulatory frameworks developed for aquaculture offer a critical foundation for safeguarding against insect#x02010;driven invasions. Proactive governance that embeds these safeguards before large#x02010;scale expansion offers a rare opportunity to prevent invasion ...
