The distribution of the species was compiled following a major regional survey, and micro- and macro-habitat information was recorded at each site...

...James Fitzsimons; Mark Antos Despite Australia having a high diversity of freshwater crayfish species, the ecology of many of these species remains poorly known, particularly burrowing crayfish of the genus Engaeus . Biological information on colour, behaviour, burrow structure, associated burrow...

...Jason Coughran The biology of Euastacus mirangudjin , a small freshwater crayfish from subtropical eastern Australia, is described for the first time. Long-term monitoring was undertaken at a site in Toonumbar National Park to gather data on growth, moulting, maturity and reproductive activity...

...Jason Coughran This paper examines the distribution, habitat and conservation status of five species of the freshwater crayfish genus Euastacus from eastern Australia: E. dalagarbe, E. girurmulayn, E. guruhgi, E. jagabar and E . mirangudjin . Although the five species have discrete distributions...

.... In an effort to further our understanding of the threat, we present information on the dispersal of this species together with observational information on interactions with freshwater crayfish (Parastacidae) species and suggest recommendations to help slow the translocation process. crayfish Cherax...

...D. Bryant; D. Crowther; P. Papas Burrowing crayfish are notoriously difficult to sample owing to their cryptic nature and subterranean habitat. The most commonly employed sampling method is burrow excavation but it is labour-intensive, destroys the burrow and hence is not repeatable. Consequently...

... aquatic fauna of the region. We draw particular attention to: (i) the native species of amphibian that are threatened by predation by introduced yabbies, and (ii) the native crayfish fauna threatened by competition with this species. The Fitzroy Falls Crayfish Euastacus dharawalus has a distribution...

Surveys were conducted by either one or two people but when two people conducted the survey the second person only contributed by pointing out safety-risk features or observations of spawn and tadpoles.

... Burrowing Frog tadpoles. In this study tadpoles were found in three creeklines in association with road culverts and one creek that was dammed by a small (1.2 m) concrete wall. Native crayfish (Euastacus spp) were detected within several of the creeks, but were absent from the Jervis Bay NP site. The exotic...
