Evaluating brown trout as a potential biological control agent of signal crayfish [PDF]
NeoBiotaThis study evaluates the potential of brown trout (Salmo trutta) as a biological control of a recently established signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) population in a protected area (Baceiro River, Montesinho Natural Park, Portugal). Five sampling

Proteomic profiling of the signal crayfish Pacifastacus leniusculus egg and spermatophore
Animal Reproduction Science, 2014 Proteins of the signal crayfish Pacifastacus leniusculus egg and spermatophore were identified using in-gel digestion, mass spectrometry, and Mascot search. Forty-one and one-hundred-fifty proteins were identified in egg and spermatophore, respectively.

BIOCIDE TREATMENT OF PONDS IN SCOTLAND TO ERADICATE SIGNAL CRAYFISH [PDF]
Bulletin Français de la Pêche et de la Pisciculture, 2006 This trial aimed to eradicate illegally introduced signal crayfish Pacifastacus leniusculus in the North Esk catchment, Scotland. Sites treated were (1) an isolated gravel-pit (c. 9,000 m3), with crayfish present for 6 years; (2) three dammed ponds, (c. 5,000 m3) and (3) a leaking, offline pond (c. 6,000 m3), with crayfish for two years.

Distribution and dispersal of two invasive crayfish species in the Drava River basin, Croatia [PDF]
Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2009 The aim of this work is to explore the current distribution and dispersal rates of two nonindigenous crayfish species (NICS) recorded in Croatia: the signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) and spiny-cheek crayfish(Orconectes limosus).

Dead Matter, Living Machines: Repurposing Crustaceans' Abdomen Exoskeleton for Bio‐Hybrid Robots
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Crustacean exoskeletons, repurposed from food waste, are engineered into sustainable bending actuators combining biotic structure with synthetic control. The augmented exoskeletons achieve rapid and robust motion with lightweight body and can be used as part of robotic manipulators, grippers and swimmers.

STATUS OF FRESHWATER CRAYFISH IN LATVIA
Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2005 There are three crayfish species present in Latvia: the European noble crayfish (Astacus astacus), the narrow-clawed crayfish (Astacus leptodactylus), and the North-American signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) species. Probably only noble crayfish

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract With the development of dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA), there has been an increasing application of DMTA for dietary estimation in extant and fossil reptiles, including dinosaurs. While numerous feeding experiments exist for herbivorous mammals, knowledge remains limited for carnivorous reptiles. This study aimed to qualitatively and

The spread of non‐native species
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The global redistribution of species through human agency is one of the defining ecological signatures of the Anthropocene, with biological invasions reshaping biodiversity patterns, ecosystem processes and services, and species interactions globally.
