Cambarellus lesliei
Template:Short description Template:Speciesbox
Cambarellus lesliei is a species of crayfish in the family Cambaridae. It is native to Alabama and Mississippi in the United States.[1][2] It is known commonly as the angular dwarf crawfish.[2]
The main part of this species' distribution is Mobile Bay. It has been collected from the Alabama, Mobile, and Tombigbee Rivers. It lives in submerged vegetation in slow-moving and stagnant waterways.[2]
This is listed as a least-concern species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). It is common in its range, and though it faces several threats, none are considered to be major.[2] The crayfish is listed as a vulnerable species by NatureServe, because it has a limited range, a fragmented population, and threats to its survival that have likely led to declines in some subpopulations.[1] Mobile Bay and its associated rivers host heavy shipping traffic and are affected by habitat disturbance and pollution.[1]
