DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.2385
Abstract: New species often invade ecosystems already dominated by previous invaders. Ornamental freshwater crayfish, particularly parthenogenetic marbled crayfish (Procambarus virginalis), increasingly establish in European water bodies where they interact with resident native and non‐native species. Behavioral… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jcz.2019.06.006
Abstract: Abstract The biological changes caused by autotriploidy are poorly studied in animals. To investigate this issue in depth, we compared genetics, morphology, life history, ecology and behaviour of the triploid marbled crayfish and its diploid… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s42003-020-01588-8
Abstract: The marbled crayfish ( Procambarus virginalis ) represents a very recently evolved parthenogenetic freshwater crayfish species that has invaded diverse habitats in Europe and in Madagascar. However, population genetic analyses have been hindered by the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1242/jeb.242180
Abstract: ABSTRACT Aversive learning was applied to affect the phototactic behaviour of the marbled crayfish. Animals initially showed negative phototaxis to white light and positive taxis to blue light. Using an aversive learning paradigm, we investigated… read more here.
