Cryptic asymmetry: unreliable signals mask asymmetric performance of crayfish weapons [PDF]
Biology Letters, 2012 Animals commonly use their limbs as signals and weapons during territorial aggression. Asymmetries of limb performance that do not relate to asymmetries of limb size (cryptic asymmetry) could substantially affect disputes, but this phenomenon has not been considered beyond primates.

Introduced alien signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) in Finland − uncontrollable expansion despite numerous crayfisheries strategies [PDF]
Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2018 In Finland, massive signal crayfish introductions started towards the end of 1980s, with an estimated total of 2.2 million signal crayfish been stocked before year 2016.

Daily activity rhythms, chronotypes, and risk-taking behavior in the signal crayfish. [PDF]
Curr Zool, 2022 Abstract Consistent inter-individual differences in daily activity rhythms (i.e., chronotypes) can have ecological consequences in determining access to food resources and avoidance of predators. The most common measure to characterize chronotypes in animals as well as humans is the onset of activity (i.e., early or late chronotypes).

Integrated Biomarker Response in Signal Crayfish Pacifastacus Leniusculus Exposed to Diphenhydramine
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2022 Diphenhydramine (DPH) is a pharmaceutical with multiple modes of action, primarily designed as an antihistamine therapeutic drug. Among antihistamines, DPH is a significant contaminant in the environment, frequently detected in surface waters, sediments, and tissues of aquatic biota.

Better Alone Than in Bad Company: Trophic Ecology of Co‐Occurring Invasive and Native Crayfish [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionThe North American signal crayfish, Pacifastacus leniusculus, is one of the most successful invasive crayfish species in Europe. Its broad trophic niche and ability to exploit various food sources across different trophic levels, coupled with the spread ...

Comparing the effects of introduced signal crayfish and native noble crayfish on the littoral invertebrate assemblages of boreal lakes [PDF]
Freshwater Science, 2015 AbstractThe introduced North American signal crayfish Pacifastacus leniusculus (Dana) has replaced the native noble crayfish (Astacus astacus) in many European freshwaters and can be considered a new component of these ecosystems. The 2 species are apparently similar in many respects, but their ecological equivalence is uncertain and has been little ...

Impacts of the North American signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) on European ecosystems. [PDF]
Environ Sci Eur, 2015 As a vector of the crayfish plague (Aphanomyces astaci), invasive crayfish pose a major threat to endemic crayfish species in Europe. But do they affect whole ecosystems and fish species as well? A comprehensive review was done using online search engines on current literature to elucidate possible crayfish effects.
