A narrow hybrid zone between two crayfish species from a Mexican cave [PDF]
Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 1992 AbstractIn Northern Chiapas (Mexico), two newly discovered species of Procambarus crayfish inhabit a subterranean stream. These species can be morphologically distinguished only by comparing extreme phenotypes (dark, thick‐eyed, surface dwelling‐like individuals vs light, elongated, microphtalmic, cave dwelling‐like individuals).
