Keywords 27 Admixture, invasion hubs, invasion process, mitochondrial DNA, propagule pressure, 28 29 ii. Summary 30 1. Understanding how introduced species succeed and become widely distributed within non-native areas is 31 critical to reduce the threats posed by them. Our goal was to reconstruct the main invasion routes and 32 invasion dynamics of a global freshwater invader, the red swamp crayfish, Procambarus clarkii, through 33 the analysis of its genetic variability in both native and invasive ranges. 34
