Notes | This article is about introduced crawdads in three Oregon river basins: the native signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) and two invaders. Will the invader push out the native species? “Our data suggest that P. clarkii has potential to locally displace P. leniusculus. There is still time for preventive measures to limit the spread of the invasive crayfish in this region.” (from the Abstract) |
