Continental-wide distribution of crayfish species in Europe: update and maps
TLDR
The Atlas of Crayfish in Europe as mentioned in this paper provides an overview of recent advances in this knowledge, and provides updated colour maps of the distribution of all crayfish species present in Europe.Abstract:
Recently published astacological studies substantially improved available data on distribution of crayfish in various European regions. At the same time, spread of invasive species has been recorded, additional non-indigenous species became established in various countries, and losses of populations of native species due to crayfish plague and other negative factors were observed. We overview recent advances in this knowledge, and provide updated colour maps of the distribution of all crayfish species present in Europe. These maps are originally based on the data from the Atlas of Crayfish in Europe published in 2006 as a result of the CRAYNET project, and were further updated from more recently published reports, grey literature, and especially thanks to contributions and feedback of over 70 specialists from 32 countries. Separate maps are available for all indigenous crayfish species in Europe as well as for three most widespread non-indigenous crayfish species. Additionally, two maps give locations of known findings of crayfish species introduced to Europe after 1980. These newly established alien species have so far restricted distributions; however, the frequency of recent reports suggests that findings of such species resulting from releases of aquarium pets will further increase.read more

TL;DR: Improved international cooperation is crucial to reduce the impacts of invasive alien species on biodiversity, ecosystem services, and human livelihoods, as synergies with other global changes are exacerbating current invasions and facilitating new ones, thereby escalating the extent and impacts of invaders.

TL;DR: The species fulfils the criteria of the Article 4(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1143/2014 of the European Parliament (species widely spread in Europe and impossible to eradicate in a cost-effective manner) and has been included in the “Union List”.

TL;DR: The acute exposure of CAL showed reduction of the level lipid peroxidation in hepatopancreas in all experimental groups compared with control, and the results of antioxidant activity showed a significant change on glutathione S-transferase in tissue of hepatopANCreas while no differences were observed on the others antioxidant parameters in crayfish's tissues.

TL;DR: Assays for species-specific detection and quantification of the three above mentioned crayfish species on the basis of mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase 1 (mtDNA-CO1) show promising potentials for future monitoring of A. astacus, P. leniusculus and A. leptodactylus.

Hardy exotics species in temperate zone: can “warm water” crayfish invaders establish regardless of low temperatures?
TL;DR: It is concluded that the red swamp cray fish, marbled crayfish and yabby have the ability to withstand low winter temperatures relevant for lentic habitats in the European temperate zone, making them a serious invasive threat to freshwater ecosystems.

Redefining the role of crayfish in aquatic ecosystems
TL;DR: To completely understand their role, crayfish should be viewed from two perspectives: that of an individual attempting to complete its life cycle, and the collective functioning of a population in the ecosystem, which can produce a serious ecological impact.
