Towards a cohesive strategy for the conservation of the United States' diverse and highly endemic crayfish fauna
Freshwater biodiversity of the United States has long been recognized for its high level of
species richness. The US crayfish fauna is richer than that found in any other country or …

Review of dam effects on native and invasive crayfishes illustrates complex choices for conservation planning
Dams are among the most prevalent and extreme alterations humans have perpetrated on
fluvial systems. The dramatic physical and biological changes caused by dams have been …

Motion‐triggered laser photography reveals fine‐scale activity patterns for burrowing crayfish
Burrowing crayfish represent 15% of total crayfish species and 32% of imperilled species.
Few life history studies exist for these species and more information is needed regarding …
