Impact Description | Pools that had been invaded by Cherax quadricarinatus in northwestern Australia (where C. quadricarinatus is a native transplant) completely lacked macrophytes, whereas pools without the crayfish had 48% macrophyte cover. It is not clear if the mechanism for this impact is through herbivory or physical removal. |
