  • October 2020 Number 10 Thoughts from the Board Darl-NA8W, MARAC Great Lakes Director Hello from Your Great Lakes Director
    Volume XLX October 2020 Number 10 Thoughts from the Board Darl-NA8W, MARAC Great Lakes Director Hello from your Great Lakes Director. It was a warm or should I say hot summer in Ohio. Very little rain but we had the Covid virus to keep us busy instead of mowing grass. I am super glad I have been a ham radio operator this summer. We self-quarantined for most of the summer to avoid getting sick, especially since my wife has allergy induced asthma and it would be deadly for her to contract a serious virus. I retired several years ago, and actually at the end of this month I will have been retired from my town job for 12 years. I retired from farming about 8 years ago, but I help my son, the farm operator now, and I continue to plant all the corn and assist with planting soybeans. October is a busy moth for that due to harvest so if you don’t hear me on the bands all month you’ll know I am assisting in gathering in the sheaves as an old song says. I have been an active county hunter since 2010 and have enjoyed it immensely. I needed something to keep me busy especially all this summer while staying home due to the virus. With the sunspots almost non-existent my dxing has been waiting on the sidelines. From November, or after harvest is complete, my wife and I will be in Florida until April sometime. I don’t drive my mobile down anymore and my little Kia Soul we use down there doesn’t have much room for a mobile and or antenna so the only thing I do during the winter is try andincrease my county totals with a mobile antenna on my car port roof using FT-8 or FT-4.

Three species Cambarellus accounted for the majority of sales: the parthenogenetic crayfish, Mar- morkrebs (Procambarus fallax f. virginalis), the Cajun dwarf crayfish (Cam- barellus shufeldtii), and the orange morph of the endangered Mexican dwarf crayfish (Cambarellus patzcuarensis). Almost half of individual cray- fish sold (48.5%) were Marmorkrebs, which is more than twice as many as C. shufeldtii, the second most commonly sold species. The Louisiana red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) was often offered for auction, but was bought much less often than the other three species. About 11% of P. c lar k ii auctions were successful, while more than 45% of auctions were successful for the other three. Four Cherax species were the only crayfish sold online whose native range was outside North America.

In total, 471 crayfish of four speciesCambarus ( carinirostris, Cambarus conservation; monongalensis, Cambarus robustus and Orconectes obscurus) were collected.

  • The Role of Pheromones in Crayfish Mating Behavior: Responses of Virgin and Non-Virgin Females to Conspecifics Chemical Cues
    The Role of Pheromones in Crayfish Mating Behavior: Responses of Virgin and Non-virgin Females to Conspecifics Chemical Cues A Major Qualifying Project Submitted to the Faculty of Worcester Polytechnic Institute in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science By _____________________________ Kelly Martin And _____________________________ Heather Watkins Date: April 17, 2007 Approved: ________________________ Professor Lauren Mathews, Major Advisor Abstract In this project, completed in conjunction with Worcester Polytechnic Institute’s Biology department, we tested the hypothesis that virgin Orconectes virilis female crayfish would be attracted to water conditioned with male pheromones. We also hypothesized that the non-virgin females would not be attracted to the male conditioned water, as they had already mated that season. A y-maze was constructed and used to test the response of mated and unmated female crayfish to water conditioned by male or female conspecifics. The data showed that as predicted in our hypothesis only previously unmated females were attracted to water conditioned with male conspecifics. Acknowledgements We would like to thank our advisor, Professor Lauren Mathews, for her continuous assistance and guidance throughout our project. We would also like to thank Professor Dan Gibson for the generous use for his lab space. Lastly we would like to thank Will Durgin for the use of his testing apparatus and experimental data.
