Relative risk of red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) invasion in Michigan

Red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) are the most widespread invasive crayfish species, largely dispersed through human mediated activities. Given their ability to disrupt aquatic ecosystems and damage human infrastructure through burrowing, identifying areas of increased introduction risk is valuable for early detection and management. To assist managers, we developed a risk assessment model to determine the relative risk of P. clarkii introduction across Michigan, United States. We calcula
