A crayfish capable of cloning itself is taking over European countries — and the EU has banned its transport, production, and release, reports NYT.
The marbled crayfish or Marmorkrebs (Procambarus virginalis) is a parthenogenetic crayfish that was discovered in the pet trade in Germany in 1995. [4] [5] Marbled crayfish are closely related to the "slough crayfish", Procambarus fallax, [6] which is widely distributed across Florida. [7] No natural populations of marbled crayfish are known.
The asexual, all-female whiptail species Aspidoscelis neomexicanus (center), which reproduces via parthenogenesis, is shown flanked by two sexual species having males, A. inornatus (left) and A. tigris (right), which naturally hybridized to form A. neomexicanus.
Parthenogenesis is a mode of asexual reproduction in which offspring are produced by females without the genetic contribution of a male. Among all the sexual vertebrates, the only examples of true parthenogenesis, in which all-female populations reproduce without the involvement of males, are found in squamate reptiles (snakes and lizards).

Procambarus is a genus of crayfish in the family Cambaridae, all native to North and Central America. It includes a number of troglobitic species, and the marbled crayfish (marmorkrebs), which is parthenogenetic. Originally described as a subgenus for four species, it now contains around 161 species.
Procambarus fallax (also known as deceitful crayfish [1] or slough crayfish [2] [4]) is a species of crayfish in the genus Procambarus. It lives in tributaries of the Satilla River in Georgia and Florida. [1] [2] It is the closest relative to the parthenogenetic marbled crayfish, Procambarus virginalis. [5] [6]
