Globally, human activities profoundly influence biodiversity, frequently favouring biological invasions. Crayfish, prominent invaders on multiple continents, pose significant varied threats. Using species distribution models (SDMs), this study explores the current and future potential distribution of Pontastacus leptodactylus, a widely introduced but under-studied crayfish, at Eurasian scale. Climate is crucial for most species’ distributions and historically SDMs focused primarily on these variables, while overlooking other environmental factors influencing species occurrence. This research employed 2 approaches: one climatic and one broader environmental model encompassing soil pH and elevation data. Both methods revealed high suitability for the species, particularly currently in Central-Europe. Future climate scenarios for 2050 do not seem to favour the species in terms of intermediate-high suitability regions, with contractions also in the native regions with both approaches. However, remarkable discrepancies were observed in some North-European regions; with the climatic approach predicting high suitability where the environmental approach did not. This study identifies P. leptodactylus as a widespread successful species outside its native range with potential for expansion under current conditions. The synthesised continental overview and projected distribution maps aid in prioritising monitoring and prevention efforts while underlining the importance for using environmental as well as climatic variables in SDMs.

Purpose. Compiling a list of sources, which may be useful for learning about studies and issues related to river crayfish, their ecology and biology. Methodology. The holistic approach allowed getting acquainted with a broad range of literature on the study topic, while the selective approach allowed focusing on specific aspects or authors specializing in this field. Attention was focused on papers in scientific journals and collections, materials of temporary teams, as well as monographs devoted to the studies on the biology of river crayfish. Findings. A thematic list of the main works - materials of international scientific and practical conferences, articles from collections of scientific works, thematic scientific collections, journals as well as monographs and abstracts of dissertations on the biology of crustaceans and their cultivation in global crayfish aquaculture has been prepared. The cited works cover the time period from 2019 to 2024. The bibliography contains 166 publications, placed in alphabetical order and described in accordance with the requirements of the HAC, in accordance with DSTU 8302:2015 «Information and documentation. Bibliographic reference. General provisions and rules of drafting», taking into account the amendments (UKND code 01.140.40). Practical value. The list can be useful for law-making activities, maintenance of ecological security of Ukraine, for specialists, scientists, students interested in crustacean biology and crayfish farming. Key words: crayfish, management, cultivation, commercial harvest, feeding, biology of freshwater crayfish.
