Exclamation 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."
