Abundance and habitat associations of two Florida crayfishes, Procambarus paeninsulanus (Faxon, 1914) and P. fallax (Hagen, 1870) (Decapoda: Astacoidea), assessed with N-mixture modeling

The study of crayfishes in their native habitats is limited, even if crayfishes are economically and ecologically important. Such is the case in southeastern USA, a center of global crayfish diversity. This study investigated model-estimated abundance and habitat associations of Procambarus paeninsulanus (Faxon, 1914) and P. fallax (Hagen, 1870) in two spring-fed rivers, Wakulla and Silver rivers, in northwestern Florida. N-mixture models, a...
