Yeah, there are a lot of similarities between these two species. I actually did a post about the marbled crayfish a few weeks ago :)

Yes I saw that post! This one and that one are both very interesting. I think this is what it'll be like if we ever find unintelligent life on other planets. They'd probably have different ways of reproducing than what we're used to. After all, there are many more genders than just male and female. Some other examples I learned about include rational, orthogonal, vectorised, and there are most likely more

Ah, I see :)

Good point. I think the first life we will ever find outside of earth will be either algae or some microorganism, which often have asexual reproduction. But then again, no one can know of course.
