depending on *where* they're getting them, i guess! The invasive species in Alberta is the northern crayfish. The native ones in my area are signal crayfish - but ironically, they've become invasive in Europe, Japan & elsewhere

Completed my annual trip to northern Wisconsin, continuing population monitoring of invasive rusty crayfish (Faxonius rusticus) that extends back to the 1970s. Populations remain down, at only ~25% of past peak abundances, with surprising catches of large native snails in our traps.

A relief to add a new pilose crayfish site this week. This native species disappeared from the mainstem, low elevation Bear River in Wyoming between 1987 & 2007, replaced by the non-native virile crayfish (

). Remnant populations are confined to higher elevation tributaries.

River Rudrón (upper Ebro basin, N Spain) has such an amount of calcium that it deposits on the bodies of invasive signal crayfish, Pacifastacus leniusculus. I think that if it wasn't for the molting this animals would become limestone statues

This summer, my lab is working to determine whether we can protect the rare, native pilose crayfish in Wyoming from the widely invasive virile crayfish. For example, do irrigation diversions work as barriers excluding virile from pilose habitat? So: what do we think of this prospective barrier?
