An aquarium accident may have given this crayfish the DNA to take over the world
An aquarium accident may have given this crayfish the DNA to take over the world
Science | AAAS 2-5-18 FROM THE ARTICLE "The marbled crayfish is the only crustacean that reproduces asexually, with*the all-female species making clones of itself*from eggs unfertilized by sperm. It has been thought to have arisen when two slough crayfish, imported from Florida for the aquarium trade in Germany, mated." http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2018/...ake-over-world .
