A SURVEY OF THE WHITE-CLAWED CRAYFISH,AUSTROPOTAMOBIUS PALLIPES (LEREBOULLET), AND OF WATERQUALITY IN TWO CATCHMENTS OF EASTERN IRELAND.

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2002
The white-clawed crayfish, Austropotamobius pallipes (Lereboullet), is the only crayfish species found in Ireland. Because of the prohibition on importation of exotic species of crayfish onto the island and of its relatively clean rivers up to now ...

Prevalence of the crayfish plague pathogen Aphanomyces astaci in populations of the signal crayfish Pacifastacus leniusculus in France: evaluating the threat to native crayfish.

PLoS ONE, 2013
Aphanomyces astaci, the crayfish plague pathogen, first appeared in Europe in the mid-19(th) century and is still responsible for mass mortalities of native European crayfish.

An Update on Advancement in Genomics Resources for Spiny Lobster Aquaculture Development

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 4, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The rapid advancement of high‐throughput sequencing technologies has transformed aquaculture genomics, enabling unprecedented insights into the biology and improvement of non‐model aquatic species. Among crustaceans, lobsters represent one of the most commercially valuable yet genomically underexplored taxa. This review synthesises the current

Better Alone Than in Bad Company: Trophic Ecology of Co‐Occurring Invasive and Native Crayfish

Ecology and Evolution
The 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 ...

Human Dimensions and Visitors’ Perspective in Freshwater Crayfish Conservation: The Case of a Protected Area in Italy

Diversity, 2023
Human dimensions in endangered species conservation are often overlooked. However, including human dimensions in conservation projects can help conservationists integrate social and ecological dimensions and investigate individual or society’s ...

The spread of non‐native species

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1197-1234, June 2026.
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.

Isolation and characterization of mitochondrial DNA from the endangered white-clawed crayfish Austropotamobius pallipes pallipes, Lereboullet, 1858

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 1996
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variation in the white-clawed crayfish, Austropotamobius pallipes pallipes, was examined by restriction endonuclease analysis of samples obtained from three geographical locations representing two very différent habitats : the ...

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

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1406-1462, June 2026.
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 ...

Phylogenetically‐Informed Crayfish Conservation in the Face of Climate Change

Animal Conservation, Volume 29, Issue 3, Page 274-284, June 2026.
Crayfish are a vital part of freshwater ecosystems, yet one third of assessed species are threatened with extinction, and almost 90% are highly sensitive to climate change. In this study, we produced a phylogenetically‐informed species prioritisation for crayfish conservation and explored the impacts of projected climate change scenarios on crayfish ...

Size‐Dependent Habitat Selection in a Tropical Freshwater Crayfish: Preference for Vegetated Refugia

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Young freshwater crayfish need shelter to survive, but it is often unclear whether they actively choose safe habitats or simply remain where they are found. We show that craylings and juvenile red claw crayfish prefer vegetated habitats over bare sand or gravel, and that this preference becomes stronger as crayfish grow.
