Freshwater Biology, Volume 69, Issue 7, Page 917-931, July 2024.Abstract Wetland ecosystems worldwide are threatened by habitat alteration, climate change and the introduction of invasive species, even within protected areas. Unravelling the reliance of sensitive wetland‐dwelling species, such as amphibians, on habitat characteristics is thus essential to identify conservation targets.

Variation of the stable isotope niches of native amphibians in ponds invaded by the red swamp crayfish [PDF]
NeoBiotaRelationships between native and invasive species can modify trophic interactions in food webs and the diet of native species, leading to substantial changes in their trophic niches.

Identification of exotic North American crayfish in Europe by DNA barcoding
Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2011 Several alien crayfish of North American origin have become established in Europe in recent decades, but their identification is often confusing.

Claw loss and the prey preferences of an invasive crayfish [PDF]
NeoBiotaPredator-prey relationships underpin the stability of ecosystems but can be perturbed by numerous factors, such as biological invasions. Crayfish readily colonize new ecosystems and their impacts can modify food webs or ecosystem functioning.

The marbled crayfish (Decapoda: Cambaridae) represents an independent new species
Zootaxa, 2017 Marbled crayfish are a globally expanding population of parthenogenetically reproducing freshwater decapods. They are closely related to the sexually reproducing slough crayfish, Procambarus fallax, which is native to the southeastern United States. Previous studies have shown that marbled crayfish are morphologically very similar to P. fallax. However,

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2015 Introductions of non-native crayfish around the world are increasingly tied to the distribution, sale, and eventual release of pet crayfish. As part of risk assessment for the introduction of non-native crayfish in North America, I monitored the sale of ...

Ethology and nutrition of marbled crayfish
The marbled crayfish (Procambarus virginalis), a unique parthenogenetic and all-female species, has emerged as a promising model organism in biological research due to its genetic uniformity, rapid reproduction, and adaptability to laboratory conditions. Despite its growing use in experimental studies, many aspects of its behavior and

MARBLED CRAYFISH (PROCAMBARUS VIRGINALIS) AS A PROMISING OBJECT FOR AQUACULTURE INDUSTRY
ENVIRONMENT. TECHNOLOGY. RESOURCES. Proceedings of the International Scientific and Practical Conference, 2019 Marbled crayfish / marmorkrebs, parthenogenetically reproducing decapod crustacean of pet aquarium origin conventionally has been recognized as an undesirable species since it a) is an invasive pest dangerous for aquatic ecosystem resources because of its hardiness, omnivorousness, fast growth, self-cloning abilities; b) has little commercial value for

Clonal genome evolution of the marbled crayfish, Procambarus virginalis [PDF]
, 2017 Marbled crayfish (Procambarus virginalis) are the only freshwater crayfish known to reproduce by cloning (apomictic parthenogenesis). Notably, among genetically identical offspring raised in the same environment, distinct phenotypic differences can be observed.
