Reduced aggression and foraging efficiency of invasive signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) infested with non-native branchiobdellidans (Annelida: Clitellata) [PDF]

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2015
Background Biological invasions are a principal threat to global biodiversity and identifying the determinants of non-native species’ success is a conservation priority.

Predation risk by largemouth bass modulates feeding functional responses of native and non-native crayfish [PDF]

open access: yesNeoBiota, 2023
Context-dependency is prevalent in nature, challenging our understanding and prediction of the potential ecological impacts of non-native species (NNS).

Potential impacts of invasive crayfish on native benthic fish: shelter use and agonistic behaviour [PDF]

open access: yesNeoBiota, 2023
Spinycheek crayfish (Faxonius limosus) and signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) are successful North American invasive crayfish species distributed throughout Europe. Both species compete with native benthic fish for shelter.

Three crayfish species of different origin in a medium-sized river system: a new state of affairs

open access: yesKnowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2021
In view of contemporary changes in aquatic environments, determining the distribution of both native and emerging invasive crayfish species is increasingly important.

To signal or not to signal? Chemical communication by urine-borne signals mirrors sexual conflict in crayfish [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Biology, 2010
Sexual selection theory predicts that females, being the limiting sex, invest less in courtship signals than males. However, when chemical signals are involved it is often the female that initiates mating by producing stimuli that inform about sex and/or receptivity.

The Prevalence of Crayfish Plague (Aphanomyces Astaci) in Two Signal Crayfish (Pacifastacus Leniusculus) Populations in Finland [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Crustacean Biology, 2000
Abstract The occurrence of dark brown melanized spots indicative of the presence of crayfish plague fungus (Aphanomyces astaci Schikora) was investigated in three Finnish lakes inhabited by the introduced American signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus Dana) in 1979, 1983, 1985–1988, 1990, 1993, and 1994. The crayfish were caught with crayfish traps
