Desiccation survival capacities of two invasive crayfish species

open access: yesKnowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2014
The signal crayfish, P. leniusculus and the red swamp crayfish, P. clarkii are two invasive crayfish species with widely world distribution, being both present at Iberian Peninsula.

The impacts of biological invasions

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Trophic plasticity and invasive success: dynamic feeding strategies of the signal crayfish in Croatian rivers

open access: yesJournal of Freshwater Ecology
The invasive signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus), a species of high concern in European freshwaters, represents a substantial threat to native crayfish species and freshwater ecosystems.

SHELTER COMPETITION BETWEEN TWO INVASIVE CRAYFISH SPECIES: A LABORATORY STUDY

open access: yesKnowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2006
Alien crayfishes represent a common threat to aquatic ecosystems. Their spread in Europe is leading to more frequent contacts between different invasive species populations. Shelter can be an important factor in the resulting interactions.

Beyond mammals: the evolution of chewing and other forms of oropharyngeal food processing in vertebrates

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

The Role of Proprioceptive Signals in the Crayfish Escape Circuit [PDF]

open access: yesZoological Science, 2000
Abstract A single proprioceptor in the tailfan of the crayfish, Procambarus clarkii (Girard), innervated by only twelve sensory neurones encodes the position and the direction and velocity of movement of the exopodite relative to the endopodite. Most of the sensory neurones project to, and terminate in, the terminal abdominal ganglion where they form a

Non-consumptive effects of native, alien and invasive alien crayfish on damselfly egg life history and carry-over effects on larval physiology [PDF]

open access: yesNeoBiota
Invasive alien (IA) predators pose significant threats to native ecosystems, often leading to profound impacts on prey species through both direct and non-consumptive effects (NCE). This study focused on the NCE of predator-induced stress from one native

Colonization and dispersal rates of two non-native crayfish species (Pacifastacus leniusculus and Procambarus clarkii) in NE Portugal [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
In Europe, a generalized regression of the native crayfish was observed during the past decades. Simultaneously, several non-native species spread in most countries.
