The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Understanding the impact of invasive crayfish (2007, background): “NICS usually avoid plants, which are chemically defended by multiple compounds, notwithstanding their high concentrations of protein, nitrogen, and dry mass (Bolser et al. 1998).”
Invasive crayfish in Europe: the impact of Procambarus clarkii on the littoral community of a Mediterranean lake (2007, unknown): “while avoiding plants that contain defensive chemical (Bolser et al., 1998).”
CRAYFISH FEEDING PREFERENCES FOR FRESHWATER MACROPHYTES: THE INFLUENCE OF PLANT STRUCTURE AND CHEMISTRY (2002, background): “…including P. clarkii, base their feeding decisions on multiple plant traits such as morphology, structure, chemical defenses, and nutritive value (Mattson, 1980; Lodge, 1991; Newman, 1991; Doucet and Fryxell, 1993; Bolser et al., 1998; Cronin, 1998; Kreider and Watts, 1998; Lodge et al., 1998).”
Crayfish invading Europe: the case study of Procambarus clarkii (2006, background): “On the contrary, crayfish had no effect on U. australis, possibly because this plant contains some chemicals that make it unpalatable to the crayfish (e.g. Bolser et al. 1998; Nyström 1999).”
