| Description: | Award winning science writing! Marmorkrebs are an all-female species of crayfish (the only one known in decapod crustaceans) that have potential as a research organism. They were found in the pet trade in Germany, and their origins are unknown -- there is no known original wild population. They are also an invasive species, threatening rare native crayfish and other species where they have been introduced. Updated weekly, usually Tuesday. |
