Some Like It Cold: Long-Term Assessment of a Near-Global Invader.

ABSTRACT: Long-term studies depicting the multicontinental invasion trajectories of species are often constrained by the scarcity of documented records, especially for invertebrates. The red swamp crayfish, Procambarus clarkii (Decapoda: Cambaridae), stands out as an uncommon example of hypersuccessful invasive species with a well-known invasion history at both regional and global levels. This allows for the use of its records to track distribution dynamics and bioclimatic preferences over time. Through multiple temporal comparisons, the global bioclimatic tendencies of the species have been explored over a period exceeding a century (1854-2023) using linear models with generalized least squares estimation and two-sample t-tests. This specific setup provides a rare focus on biological invasio
