Genetic admixture of divergent intraspecific lineages is increasingly suspected to have an
important role in the success of colonising populations. However, admixture is not a …

There are several environmental and ecological effects of shipping. However, these are
rarely assessed in total in the scientific literature. Thus, the aim of this study was to …

Carcinus maenas (the “shore crab” or “European green crab”) is a very proficient invader
(considered to be one of the world's 100 worst invaders by the IUCN) due to its phenotypic …

As global warming accelerates, there is increasing concern about how ecosystems may
change as a result of species loss and replacement. Here, we examined the thermal …

The European green crab (Carcinus maenas), native to northwestern Europe and Africa, is
among the top 100 most damaging invasive species globally. In some regions, including the …

Following their first detection in Newfoundland in 2007, populations of invasive European
green crabs Carcinus maenas (Linnaeus, 1758) have increased and spread throughout …

In a single well-mixed population, equally abundant neutral alleles are equally likely to
persist. However, in spatially complex populations structured by an asymmetric dispersal …

Abstract Green crabs (Carcinus, Portunidae) include two species native to Europe—
Carcinus aestuarii (Mediterranean species) and Carcinus maenas (Atlantic species). These …

Genetic tools have greatly aided in tracing the sources and colonization history of introduced
species. However, recurrent introductions and repeated shuffling of populations may have …

While the subset of introduced species that become invasive is small, the damages caused
by that subset and the costs of controlling them can be substantial. This chapter takes an in …
