“…Simon and Thoma (2003) described the crayfish assemblages of the Patoka River watershed including species occurring around the National Wildlife Refuge. A new species of crayfish, the paintedhand mudbug Cambarus polychromatus Thoma, Jezerinac, and Simon 2005 was described from Flat Creek on the Patoka River NWR (Thoma et al 2005). Simon and Thoma (2006) described the onservation status of the Indiana crayfish, while Simon et al (2005b) described the reproductive biology, distribution, and habitat needs of species occurring in the Patoka River drainage.…”

The National Wildlife Refuge system is a vital resource for the protection and conservation of biodiversity and biological integrity in the United States. Surveys were conducted to determine the spatial and temporal patterns of fish, macroinvertebrate, and crayfish populations in two watersheds that encompass three refuges in southern Indiana. The Patoka River National Wildlife Refuge had the highest number of aquatic species with 355 macroinvertebrate taxa, six crayfish species, and 82 fish species, while the Big Oaks National Wildlife Refuge had 163 macroinvertebrate taxa, seven crayfish species, and 37 fish species. The Muscatatuck National Wildlife Refuge had the lowest diversity of macroinvertebrates with 96 taxa and six crayfish species, while possessing the second highest fish species richness with 51 species. Habitat quality was highest in the Muscatatuck River drainage with increased amounts of forested habitats compared to the Patoka River drainage. Biological integrity of the three refuges ranked the Patoka NWR as the lowest biological integrity (mean IBI reach scores = 35 IBI points), while Big Oaks had the highest biological integrity (mean IBI reach score = 41 IBI points). The Muscatatuck NWR had a mean IBI reach score of 31 during June, which seasonally increased to a mean of 40 IBI points during summer. Watershed IBI scores and habitat condition were highest in the Big Oaks NWR.

“…Results of the distribution survey and statistical analysis were compared with range-wide distribution records of each species to determine possible relationships between distribution and glacial refugia. Crayfish range information for Illinois [3], Missouri [19], Wisconsin [5], and Ohio [10] and the distribution of Cambarus (Tubericambarus) polychromatus were assessed through the species description by Thoma et al [20] as sources for species records and ranges.…”

“…diogenes was limited to the western glaciated study region, while C. polychromatus was found throughout and was highly associated with the Interior Plateau region. Distribution records for C. polychromatus suggest that the species possibly invaded from southern refugia including areas in southern Indiana and Kentucky [20].

Spatial distributions of crayfish were evaluated in relation to glacial geography and possible modes of dispersal from refugia. Species dispersal patterns were a priori hypothesized and tested using principle components analysis (PCA). PCA factor loading plots were evaluated for hypothesized crayfish dispersal patterns. Cambarus laevis was limited to the unglaciated region, while Orconectes immunis, Orconectes virilis, and Procambarus gracilis may have dispersed from western glacial refugia in the upper Missouri drainage. Fallicambarus fodiens and Procambarus acutus dispersed from south of the glacial advance within the Mississippi embayment. Previous dispersal hypotheses for Orconectes propinquus recognized that northern refugia may have been from the Driftless Area in Wisconsin and Illinois and may have invaded more than one refuge since this species was common in unglaciated areas of southwestern Indiana. Orconectes indianensis center of abundance is in the unglaciated region. Disjunct populations likely dispersed into temporary glacial lakes that, when receded, left populations in previously glaciated areas. Cambarus polychromatus possibly dispersed from southern refugia, while Cambarus sp. A cf. diogenes dispersed from southern refugia not sympatric with C. polychromatus. The glacial refugia included western and southern areas of the glacial maximum; however, northern dispersal routes may be important with global climate change.

The crayfish genus Cambarus Erichson, 1846 contains 97 species found in a wide diversity of freshwater aquatic and semi-aquatic habitats in eastern and central regions of North America. The greatest diversity of this genus is found in the south-eastern areas of the United States, particularly in states such as Tennessee, Georgia, North Carolina, and Alabama. About half (47.42%) of all Cambarus species are either endangered, threatened, or vulnerable. Therefore, these species require special attention from a conservation standpoint. Habitat destruction and degradation are the main threats to the species of Cambarus in general. Cambarus spp. living in caves are more likely to be endangered than species of the same genus found in surface waters or semi-terrestrial habitats. For the better part, species of this genus found in more than one type of habitat tend to have a conservation status that is currently stable. Many Cambarus species have relatively small ranges, and 43.30% of all Cambarus spp. are restricted to only one U.S. state. The information available about distribution, habitat, and conservation status of the species of Cambarus is reviewed in order to raise awareness about these very diverse crayfishes, and to assist potential conservation efforts. RÉSUMÉLe genre d'écrevisse Cambarus Erichson, 1846 contient 97 espèces trouvées dans une large diversité d'habitats dulcicoles aquatiques et semi-aquatiques dans les régions orientale et centrale d'Amérique du Nord. La plus grande diversité de ce genre est trouvée dans les régions sud-orientales des États-Unis, en particulier dans les états comme le Tennessee, la Géorgie, la Caroline du Nord, et l'Alabama. Environ la moitié (47,42%) de toutes les espèces de Cambarus sont soit en danger, soit menacées ou vulnérables. En conséquence, ces espèces requièrent une attention particulière du point de vue de la conservation. La destruction et la dégradation de l'habitat sont les principales menaces pour les espèces de Cambarus en général. Les espèces de Cambarus vivant dans les grottes sont vraisemblablement plus en danger que les espèces du même genre trouvées dans les eaux de surface ou dans les habitats semi-terrestres. Habituellement, les espèces de ce genre trouvées dans plus d'un type d'habitat tendent à avoir un statut de conservation qui est actuellement stable. Beaucoup d'espèces de Cambarus ont des aires de répartition relativement petites, et 43,30% de tous
