But as Field Tecnhician on the Ojibway Prairie Reptile Recovery Program in southwestern Ontario, this is the first time I\u2019ve been able to focus on conservation efforts for one of my favourite groups of animals \u2013 snakes! Little did I know that this work was going to end up including decapods as well, coincidentally another one of my favourite groups.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px;padding: 0px 0px 1em;border: 0px;background: 0px 0px #ffffff;font-size: 14px;vertical-align: baseline;color: #000000;font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif;font-style: normal;font-weight: 500;letter-spacing: normal;text-align: left;text-indent: 0px;text-transform: none\"><em><strong>Everything in an ecosystem is interconnected \u2013 sometimes in ways you would never expect.<\/strong> <\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px;padding: 0px 0px 1em;border: 0px;background: 0px 0px #ffffff;font-size: 14px;vertical-align: baseline;color: #000000;font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif;font-style: normal;font-weight: 500;letter-spacing: normal;text-align: left;text-indent: 0px;text-transform: none\">At the Ojibway Prairie Provincial Nature Reserve, crayfish and Massasauga rattlesnakes have a very interesting relationship. In this region of Ontario, where temperatures drop below freezing for a good part of the year, for snakes to survive it is vital that they have a place to overwinter below the frost line. Deep rock fissures, old wells, or even spaces around tree root systems can all serve as underground areas, or hibernacula, for snakes to sleep the winter away. For Massasauga rattlesnakes, however, their choice of hibernaculum is often crayfish burrows.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px;padding: 0px 0px 1em;border: 0px;background: 0px 0px #ffffff;font-size: 14px;vertical-align: baseline;color: #000000;font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif;font-style: normal;font-weight: 500;letter-spacing: normal;text-align: left;text-indent: 0px;text-transform: none\">You might not typically think of a prairie as a good place to find an animal with gills, but the Ojibway Prairie is actually home to a few species of terrestrial crayfish. Digger crayfish (<em style=\"margin: 0px;padding: 0px;border: 0px;background: 0px 0px;font-size: 14px;vertical-align: baseline;font-style: italic\">Creaserinus fodiens<\/em>) and devil crayfish (<em style=\"margin: 0px;padding: 0px;border: 0px;background: 0px 0px;font-size: 14px;vertical-align: baseline;font-style: italic\">Lacunicambarus diogenes<\/em>) are both found in Ontario, with digger crayfish being the predominant species at Ojibway Prairie. If you are lucky, there is one other species of terrestrial crayfish you might find, called the painted mudbug (<em style=\"margin: 0px;padding: 0px;border: 0px;background: 0px 0px;font-size: 14px;vertical-align: baseline;font-style: italic\">Lacunicambarus polychromatus<\/em>). The first reported sighting of this large crayfish species in Canada was found right here in the Ojibway Prairie Complex in 2016. All three of these species create deep burrows, which can descend deeper than 50 cm below the surface to reach the water table, and can be simple or complex with multiple entrances.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-la2z9z97-4e08a9394d80f3545f958b85067ba4a9\">\n.avia-image-container.av-la2z9z97-4e08a9394d80f3545f958b85067ba4a9 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-la2z9z97-4e08a9394d80f3545f958b85067ba4a9 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-la2z9z97-4e08a9394d80f3545f958b85067ba4a9 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-4  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-30816 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-30816 avia_image' src='https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/20200804_112538-e1600120231727-300x288.jpg' alt='' title='20200804_112538'  height=\"288\" width=\"300\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><section  class='av_textblock_section av-la2zajwc-ee03232185bfde5f783df419b9aded77'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p style=\"text-align: center\"><em>These mud &#8216;chimneys&#8217; often mark the entrances of terrestrial crayfish burrows. <\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif;font-size: 14px;font-style: normal;font-weight: 500;letter-spacing: normal;text-align: left;text-indent: 0px;text-transform: none;background-color: #ffffff;float: none\">Aside from their role in creating snake hibernacula, crayfish serve numerous other functions within their environments. <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif;font-size: 14px;font-style: normal;font-weight: 500;letter-spacing: normal;text-align: left;text-indent: 0px;text-transform: none;background-color: #ffffff;float: none\">Crayfish are voracious scavengers and opportunistic omnivores. <\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif;font-size: 14px;font-style: normal;font-weight: 500;letter-spacing: normal;text-align: left;text-indent: 0px;text-transform: none;background-color: #ffffff;float: none\">They are important predators and are even considered keystone species in some ecosystems. <\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif;font-size: 14px;font-style: normal;font-weight: 500;letter-spacing: normal;text-align: left;text-indent: 0px;text-transform: none;background-color: #ffffff;float: none\">They are both primary and secondary consumers, as well as prey for larger carnivores such as raccoons.<br \/> <\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif;font-size: 14px;font-style: normal;font-weight: 500;letter-spacing: normal;text-align: left;text-indent: 0px;text-transform: none;background-color: #ffffff;float: none\">Their place in multiple trophic levels, (multiple positions in the food chain) means they play an important role in the flow of energy through the food web. <\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif;font-size: 14px;font-style: normal;font-weight: 500;letter-spacing: normal;text-align: left;text-indent: 0px;text-transform: none;background-color: #ffffff;float: none\">They act as natural indicators of environmental pollution in freshwater ecosystems, and are one of the 27 groups of animals collected in benthic invertebrate sampling for aquatic monitoring in Ontario.
