Answer 1

The crayfish looks for food/forages in its habitat with likely knowledge of the available food in the broader territory that it shares with other species.

 

Scientists put a microchip tag on crayfish to find out how far it can travel during foraging episodes. The movement defines its home range.

 

The crayfish shares its habitat with other species that the question includes.

 

Hope this helps.
