Started working on the winning @CrayfishIAA auction bid (by the generous dr Petrusek 🤑). He (wisely) chose A. gouldi. I know them well 😊

Done! Thanks to the @CrayfishIAA for giving me the opportunity to be here talking about oomycetes and learning more about crayfish. I'm really enjoying the #IAA24

The new Crayfish News is out! @CrayfishIAA

Crayfish are not Superman, they just inherited an extremely spectacular mechanism from their ancestors. The question was what their anaerobic metabolism is used for today. You can find the answer in our paper. @parvulescubio @DrZaneBarn @CrayfishIAA

Always a great day when you're working in caves! Had fun collecting genetic samples from Bristly Cave Crayfish (Cambarus setosus) 🦞

[Mihaela Ion @IC_Mihaela]

I'm glad to see our paper is published. Through modeling, it seems invasive crayfish cannot reach areas with high water speed, preferred by the endemic idle crayfish! More info on this species is under preparation, so stay close!

We made the cover of @AnimalEcology!
This gorgeous Austropotamobius fulcisianus, and its branchiobdelid guests, were spotted during the field trip of European meeting of @CrayfishIAA, held this september
It is not that often that crayfish make it to covers!

Excited to have my article on the front of the 🦞News! @CrayfishIAA
