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.

Crustacean and Mollusc Shell Proteins: Origin, Structure, and Functionality
Journal of Food Science, Volume 91, Issue 5, May 2026.ABSTRACT Crustacean and molluscan processing as seafood generates a significant amount of shell waste annually, owing to the dense, mineral‐rich composition of the exoskeleton. Although valorization efforts have mostly focused on chitin and chitosan, the protein fraction remains underutilized despite its prominent nutritional, functional, and sensory ...

Impacts of signal crayfish on stream fishes [PDF]
, 2013 Invasive species cause biodiversity and economic loss globally. Invasive crayfish have a wide range of effects as a result of their high densities and biomass, feeding at multiple trophic levels, aggressive competition for shelter and ecosystem ...

Mitochondrial function predicts dominance status in brown trout
Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 816-829, April 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract In social hierarchies, winning contests confers better access to food, shelter and reproductive opportunities. Clear dominance relationships are often apparent even when opponents are matched for experience, age, size and other obvious characteristics.

DIETARY PATTERNS IN STREAM- AND LAKE-DWELLING POPULATIONS OF AUSTROPOTAMOBIUS PALLIPES
Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2005 White-clawed crayfish (Austropotamobius pallipes) are widespread in Ireland in both running and standing water, although stream-dwelling in much of their range elsewhere.

Dead Matter, Living Machines: Repurposing Crustaceans' Abdomen Exoskeleton for Bio‐Hybrid Robots
Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 15, 13 March 2026.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.

Field validation of an eDNA assay for the endangered white-clawed crayfish Austropotamobius pallipes [PDF]
, 2019 Abstract The white-clawed crayfish Austropotamobius pallipes has undergone extensive declines within its native range in the last century. Because of its threatened status, European legislation requires the species to be regularly monitored and that Special Areas of Conservation ...
