The Evolution of Crayfishes of the Genus Orconectes Section Limosus (Crustacea: Decopoda)
THE OHIO JOURNAL OF SCIENCE Vol. 62 MARCH, 1962 No. 2 THE EVOLUTION OF CRAYFISHES OF THE GENUS ORCONECTES SECTION LIMOSUS (CRUSTACEA: DECOPODA) RENDELL RHOADES Department of Zoology and Entomology, The Ohio State University, Columbus 10 The earliest described crayfish species now included in the Section limosus of the Genus Orconectes was described by Samuel Constantine Rafinesque (1817: 42). He reported the species, which he named Astacus limosus, "in the muddy banks of the Delaware, near Philadelphia." How ironical it now seems, that when Rafinesque located at Transylvania three years later and traveled to Henderson, Kentucky, to visit a fellow naturalist, John J. Audubon, he could have collected from the streams of western Kentucky a crayfish that he might have identified as the species he had described from the Delaware. We now know that these streams of the knobstone and pennyroyal uplands are the home of parent stock of this group. Moreover, this parental population on the Cumberland Plateau is now separated from Rafinesque's Orconectes limosus of the Atlantic drainage by more than 500 miles of mountainous terrain. Even Rafinesque, with his flair for accuracy and vivid imagination, would have been taxed to explain this wide separation had he known it. A decade after the death of Rafinesque, Dr. W. T. Craige received a blind crayfish from Mammoth Cave. An announcement of the new crayfish, identi- fied as "Astacus bartonii (?)" appeared in the Proceedings of the Academy of Natural Science of Philadelphia (1842: 174-175). Within two years the impact of Dr. Craige's announcement was evidenced by numerous popular articles both here and abroad. -
The Marbled Crayfish (Decapoda: Cambaridae) Represents an Independent New Species
Zootaxa 4363 (4): 544–552 ISSN 1175-5326 (print edition) http://www.mapress.com/j/zt/ Article ZOOTAXA Copyright © 2017 Magnolia Press ISSN 1175-5334 (online edition) https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.4363.4.6 http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:179512DA-1943-4F8E-931B-4D14D2EF91D2 The marbled crayfish (Decapoda: Cambaridae) represents an independent new species FRANK LYKO 1Division of Epigenetics, DKFZ-ZMBH Alliance, German Cancer Research Center, 69120 Heidelberg, Germany Correspondence: Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum Im Neuenheimer Feld 580 69120 Heidelberg, Germany phone: +49-6221-423800 fax: +49-6221-423802 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Marbled crayfish are a globally expanding population of parthenogenetically reproducing freshwater decapods. They are closely related to the sexually reproducing slough crayfish, Procambarus fallax, which is native to the southeastern United States. Previous studies have shown that marbled crayfish are morphologically very similar to P. fallax. However, different fitness traits, reproductive incompatibility and substantial genetic differences suggest that the marbled crayfish should be considered an independent species. This article provides its formal description and scientific name, Procambarus virgin- alis sp. nov. Key words: parthenogenesis, annulus ventralis, genetic analysis, mitochondrial DNA Introduction Marbled crayfish were first described in 2001 as the only known obligatory parthenogen among the approximately 15,000 decapod crustaceans (Scholtz et al., 2003). The animals were first described in the German aquarium trade in the late 1990s (Scholtz et al., 2003) and became widely distributed in subsequent years under their German name "Marmorkrebs". Stable populations have developed from anthropogenic releases in various countries including Madagascar, Germany, Czech Republic, Hungary, Croatia and Ukraine (Chucholl et al., 2012; Jones et al., 2009; Kawai et al., 2009; Liptak et al., 2016; Lokkos et al., 2016; Novitsky & Son, 2016; Patoka et al., 2016). -
Crustacea-Arthropoda) Fauna of Sinop and Samsun and Their Ecology
J. Black Sea/Mediterranean Environment Vol. 15: 47- 60 (2009) Freshwater and brackish water Malacostraca (Crustacea-Arthropoda) fauna of Sinop and Samsun and their ecology Sinop ve Samsun illeri tatlısu ve acısu Malacostraca (Crustacea-Arthropoda) faunası ve ekolojileri Mehmet Akbulut1*, M. Ruşen Ustaoğlu2, Ekrem Şanver Çelik1 1 Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University, Fisheries Faculty, Çanakkale-Turkey 2 Ege University, Fisheries Faculty, Izmir-Turkey Abstract Malacostraca fauna collected from freshwater and brackishwater in Sinop and Samsun were studied from 181 stations between February 1999 and September 2000. 19 species and 4 subspecies belonging to 15 genuses were found in 134 stations. In total, 23 taxon were found: 11 Amphipoda, 6 Decapoda, 4 Isopoda, and 2 Mysidacea. Limnomysis benedeni is the first time in Turkish Mysidacea fauna. In this work at the first time recorded group are Gammarus pulex pulex, Gammarus aequicauda, Gammarus uludagi, Gammarus komareki, Gammarus longipedis, Gammarus balcanicus, Echinogammarus ischnus, Orchestia stephenseni Paramysis kosswigi, Idotea baltica basteri, Idotea hectica, Sphaeroma serratum, Palaemon adspersus, Crangon crangon, Potamon ibericum tauricum and Carcinus aestuarii in the studied area. Potamon ibericum tauricum is the most encountered and widespread species. Key words: Freshwater, brackish water, Malacostraca, Sinop, Samsun, Turkey Introduction The Malacostraca is the largest subgroup of crustaceans and includes the decapods such as crabs, mole crabs, lobsters, true shrimps and the stomatopods or mantis shrimps. There are more than 22,000 taxa in this group representing two third of all crustacean species and contains all the larger forms. *Corresponding author: [email protected] 47 Malacostracans play an important role in aquatic ecosystems and therefore their conservation is important. -
Marbled Crayfish (Marmokrebs) Control in Ohio
OHIO DIVISION OF WILDLIFE Marbled Crayfish (Marmokrebs) Control in Ohio Injurious Aquatic Invasive Species (IAIS) are animals that cause or are likely to cause damage or harm to native ecosystems or to commercial, agricultural, or recreational activities that are dependent on these ecosystems. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Division of Wildlife has the authority to establish an active list of Ohio IAIS high-risk species through a risk-analysis process to evaluate non-native candidate species via Ohio Administrative Code 1501:31-19-01. Listed species are unlawful to possess, import, or sell unless dead and/or preserved. Prevention: Risk Reduction State and federal partners are working to eliminate the risk of invasive Marbled Crayfish (also known as Marmokrebs) by preventing this Ohio-listed IAIS from public possession and sales in Ohio and to prevent their introduction and spread in Ohio waters and fish culture facilities. Background Marbled Crayfish (Marmokrebs) • Adult size – 10 to 13 cm (4 to 6 inches). Procambarus fallax f. virginalis • Grow and mature rapidly in captivity. • Not native to Ohio, Great Lakes or Ohio River watersheds. • Not known to occur in the wild, except through accidental or purposeful release. • Mostly a cultured species in the North American and European pet trade. “Marmokrebs” is its European common name. An all-female species, it reproduces asexually through parthenogenesis. • Closely related to the slough crayfish, Procambarus fallax, native to Florida and southern Georgia. Current Status, Management, Control and Exclusion in Ohio • Marbled crayfish have been defined as a high-risk IAIS in Ohio as they are non-native, adult females have a high reproductive capacity, and they can displace native crayfish. -

Invertebrate Rearing Establishment and care of a colony of parthenogenetic marbled crayfish, Marmorkrebs Article (Peer-reviewed) Stephanie A. Jimenez and Zen Faulkes Department of Biology, The University of Texas-Pan American, 1201 W. University Drive, Edinburg, TX 78539, USA. Email: [email protected] Abstract Marmorkrebs are parthenogenetic marbled crayfish whose origins are unknown. They have potential to be a model organism for biological research because they are genetically uniform, and to be an invasive pest species. Maintaining self-sustaining breeding colonies is a key element of most successful model organisms. We tried to find the best conditions for establishing and maintaining a Marmorkrebs breeding colony for research. Marmorkrebs can be bred in a compact tank system originally designed for zebrafish. -
