World of Crayfish™ is an ambitious new website that shows the geographic distribution of crayfish species in near real-time.
Of course, I checked for whether there was a Marmorkrebs map. There is! Click to enlarge!
It’s clearly out of date in some ways. I expected to see records from Madagascar, as several localities published in peer-reviewed journals have been available for some time. On the other hand, there seem to be new records that I have not found yet, like in southern France.
Nevertheless, this seems like a much more organized effort that might eventually supplant my own map of Marmorkrebs introductions.
