Early assessment of the impact of alien species: differential consequences of an invasive crayfish on adult and larval amphibians (2011, background): “…can survive also in temporary wetlands, but it is more frequent in large, permanent waterbodies: a long hydroperiod allows a prolonged activity period, while reproductive success can be limited in ephemeral wetlands (GutierrézYurrita & Montes, 1999; Cruz & Rebelo, 2007; Ficetola et al., 2011b).”
Genetic diversity and population structure of the invasive alien red swamp crayfish (2010, background): “P. clarkii is widely introduced to Europe, Africa, central and South America and Southeast Asia (Cruz and Rebelo 2007; Gherardi 2006; Mkoji et al. 1999).”
Environmental DNA surveillance for invertebrate species: advantages and technical limitations to detect invasive crayfish Procambarus clarkii in freshwater ponds. (2014, background): “Notably, the ability to disperse overland allows the species to reach and persist in isolated and temporary aquatic habitats and to quickly colonize large areas (Arrignon et al. 1999; Cruz & Rebelo 2007; Tr eguier et al. 2011).”
The Diversity of Life in African Freshwaters: Under Water, Under Threat: An Analysis of the Status and Distribution of Freshwater Species throughout Mainland Africa (2011, background): “Due to their resilience to different environmental circumstances, high dispersal capacity and opportunistic diet, crayfi sh are capable of causing dramatic biodiversity shifts (e.g. Smart et al. 2002; Snyder and Evans 2006; Cruz and Rebelo 2007), and could cause an ecological disaster if they establ”
The perfect invader: a parthenogenic crayfish poses a new threat to Madagascar’s freshwater biodiversity (2009, background): “However in other parts of the world a related species, Procambarus clarkii, has severely damaged rice production through direct predation on seedlings and damaging the structuring of irrigation canals through burrowing (Anastacio et al. 2005; Cruz and Rebelo 2007 ).”
