Assess recent European occurrences and established wild populations of the all-female, parthenogenetic Marmorkrebs to evaluate their spread and ecological impact.
Documented a newly identified occurrence in southwestern Germany.
Compiled and synthesized European records of Marmorkrebs occurrences, habitat types, overland migration events, and threats to native crayfish.
Identified 15 Marmorkrebs records across Europe (primarily in Germany), with at least six representing established populations compared to only one recorded prior to 2010.
Found established populations predominantly in lentic habitats near urban areas, with documented overland migrations in three instances and direct threats to native crayfish in two.
