Landscape features correlate with spatial distribution of red-swamp crayfish Procambarus clarkii in a network of ponds

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2011
The red-swamp crayfish Procambarus clarkii has become the most cosmopolitan freshwater crayfish species in the world as a result of numerous intentional and accidental introductions.

Characterization of a Matrix Protein in the Gastroliths of the CrayfishProcambarus clarkii

Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 1996
As a first step in understanding the calcification mechanism, a matrix protein in the gastrolith of the crayfish Procambarus clarkii was purified and sequenced. The protein was insoluble in acid, but after trypsin digestion, it dissolved in 6 M urea.

Identifying knowledge gaps about context dependency in freshwater species invasions

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 4, April 2026.
The abiotic template of freshwater ecosystems is being altered by human activity on a global scale, often promoting the establishment of new invasive taxa and increasing the likelihood of facilitation between invaders. These positive interactions represent a substantive threat to freshwater ecosystems by promoting the establishment and persistence of ...

Induction of Extra Claws on the Chelipeds of a Crayfish, Procambarus clarkii

The Biological Bulletin, 1998
In a crayfish, Procambarus clarkii, growth of an extra claw was induced by making a V-shaped wound in the proximal end of the propodus of the second and third chelipeds. Two nerve bundles were damaged by the wounding. Some type of extra growth developed on the propodi of 13 of the damaged chelipeds: a pair of extra claws (2 chelipeds), a pair of extra ...

Investigation of the gut microbiome community, abundance, and functions of Procambarus clarkii under different aquaculture conditions

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 57, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract To examine the gut microbial composition and functional attributes of red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) across different rearing environments, this experiment employed high‐throughput sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene of bacterial DNA isolated from the gut.

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

Retinol esterification in the hepatopancreas of the crayfish (Procambarus clarkii)

The FASEB Journal, 2009
Vitamin A (retinol) is a necessary nutrient for all higher animals, including many invertebrates which use it as their visual chromophore. All of these animals must get vitamin A in their diet and must be able not only to transport this hydrophobic vitamin to target cells but must also ...

Discovery of four natural clones in a crayfish species Procambarus clarkii

International Journal of Biological Sciences, 2008
Self-cloning is quite rare in shrimp, lobsters, crayfish and crabs. Here we report the discovery of four natural clones of red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii), each containing 2-6 genetically identical individuals, during the genotyping of 120 ...

Effect of medicinal and food homologous plants polysaccharides on animal nutrition and health: A review

Food Biomacromolecules, Volume 3, Issue 1, Page 5-23, March 2026.
Abstract As one of the most important components of foods, animal meat provides a lot of protein, fat, and energy for humans. However, nutrition and health of animals directly affect the healthiness of human, especially antibiotic residues in animals induced by abuse of antibiotics.
