DOI: 10.1016/j.aquaculture.2018.06.086
Abstract: Abstract Worldwide biodiversity is suffering a “biogeographical homogenization” due to biological invasions. The translocation of freshwater crayfish around the world for aquaculture and the pet trade is also spreading their symbionts, so that all of… read more here.

The potential of antimicrobial peptides isolated from freshwater crayfish species in new drug development: A review.
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Developmental and comparative immunology"
DOI: 10.1016/j.dci.2021.104258
Abstract: The much-publicised increased resistance of pathogenic bacteria to conventional antibiotics has focused research effort on the characterization of new antimicrobial drugs. In this context, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) extracted from animals are considered a promising alternative… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/00288330.2018.1481437
Abstract: ABSTRACT Representative sampling of crayfish in streams is often impractical, especially in non-wadable habitats, or in areas with soft substrates. Whakaweku are artificial habitats made from bracken fern (Pteridium esculentum) that can be used successfully… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/biology12010018
Abstract: Simple Summary Aggressive invasive species can outcompete native species in contests over resources, which can lead to the exclusion of a native species by the invader. Invasive freshwater crayfish are often more aggressive than their… read more here.
