2017 was the second best year ever for Marmorkrebs research

This is an annual tradition here on the Marmorkrebs blog! It’s fun to make this graph longer and longer every year...


In terms of straight journal articles, 2017 was tied with 2016: fifteen each. There was just no book dropping a set of chapters to lift the total like last year

There were some significant papers this year. There was a proposal to elevate Marmorkrebs to its own species. Part of this included deposition of reference specimens in a museum, which should be a useful long-term resource, regardless of whether the community moves to the proposed new species name, Procambarus virginalis.

The number of introduced populations continued to increase, with more reports in the scientific literature of European locations and newspaper reports of more discoveries in Japan.

And perhaps most excitingly for next year, there were several doctoral theses that will hopefully become publications in the near future. Maybe even 2018! (One paper, by Císař and others, has already been published with a 2018 publication date.)

The overall trendline still shows no sign of flattening.
