Investigations into the relationship between behavioural tendencies and social status using the signal crayfish Pacifastacus leniusculus as a model organism
… between conspecifics. Using the signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) as a model organism this study investigated if crayfish of differing social status display different behavioural tendencies. To this end size-matched dominant and subordinate individuals were tested for boldness and …

The biology of crayfish plague (Aphanomyces Astaci: Schikora) in Great Britain
… at two sites in the Lea. The occurrence of five Pacifastacus leniusculus introductions in the system may explain the occurrence of the disease in these waterways. Six tested invertebrate species (including: Gammarus Pulex) did not appear to be suitable alternative hosts for the fungus and fish …

The behavioural function of pheromones in crayfish
Pacifastacus leniusculus and Procambarus clarkii are highly invasive freshwater crayfish and are having detrimental impacts on native species and habitats throughout Europe. The application of pheromone baits have been proposed as a way of increasing trap efficiency for population control, however …

Evaluating the population control of invasive crayfish using removals and male sterilisation.
… the control of invasive American signal crayfish Pacifastacus leniusculus using a combination of intensive trapping (baited traps and artificial refuge traps: ARTs) and the mechanical sterilisation and release of large males (Sterile Male Release Technique: SMRT) using both field studies (on the …

Epidemiology of crayfish plague
… American crayfish species, the signal crayfish Pacifastacus leniusculus that appeared resistant to crayfish plague was introduced to Finland in 1960s. As expected, the signal crayfish slowly started to replace the lost populations of the noble crayfish to become an important part of the crayfish …

Analysis and confirmation of the results of a yeast two-hybrid screen carried out to identify proteins that interact with drosophila XRCC2
<p>Repairing DNA damage is brought about by highly specific proteins that partake in a variety of DNA repair. Two of the most common types of damage are double-strand breaks (DSBs) and interstrand crosslinks. A single DSB or crosslink can potentially kill a cell if it is not repaired~ In human and …
