A new article in Verbundjournal reports that Marmorkrebs are establishing themselves in lakes around the German capital of Berlin.It’s a passing reference in an article by grad student Stefan Linzmaier, who is studying Marmorkrebs as an example of how an invasive species impacts the ecology of a system. I will not claim that I am entirely clear of all the details of Stefan’s ongoing research, since I am reading the article through the help of Google Translate, which can have... interesting interpretations of text.
The map of Marmorkrebs introductions has been updated accordingly. Hat tip to Gerhard Scholtz.
