Perceived socio-economic impacts of the marbled crayfish invasion in Madagascar [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2020 The negative environmental and economic impacts of many invasive species are well known. However, given the increased homogenization of global biota, and the difficulty of eradicating species once established, a balanced approach to considering the ...

The marbled crayfish as a paradigm for saltational speciation by autopolyploidy and parthenogenesis in animals. [PDF]
Biol Open, 2015 The parthenogenetic all-female marbled crayfish is a novel research model and potent invader of freshwater ecosystems. It is a triploid descendant of the sexually reproducing slough crayfish, Procambarus fallax, but its taxonomic status has remained ...
