This study investigated the molecular systematics and zoogeography of freshwater crayfish species (yabbies) of the genus Cherax throughout Australia. Using DNA sequencing of up to five gene regions and phylogenetic methods of analyses, this study provided new insights into the taxonomy and evolution of this important group of Australian freshwater invertebrates.
