• Ecological Effects of Invasive Arthropod Generalist Predators (2006, background): “Similarly, the European green crab, Carcinus maenas (and its cryptic congener C. aestuarii), native to Europe, and the Chinese mitten crab, Eriocheir sinensis, native to Asia, have been transported in ballast water (Carlton & Cohen 2003, Herborg et al. 2003).”
• Marine invasion history and vector analysis of California: a hotspot for western North America (2011, background): “For California, we estimated vector strength, defined as the number of invasions (established non-native species) associated with each vector (Ruiz & Carlton, 2003).”
• Life History and Population Dynamics of Green Crabs (Carcinus maenas) (2019, background): “There are established populations of green crabs on every continent except Antarctica but introductions into tropical regions including Brazil, Panama, Hawaii, the Red Sea, Sri Lanka, Madagascar, Union of Myanmar, Pakistan and India have not resulted in established populations [9,20] because females”
• A hitchhiker’s guide to the Maritimes: anthropogenic transport facilitates long‐distance dispersal of an invasive marine crab to Newfoundland (2010, background): “Populations spread around the Bay of Fundy and southeastern Nova Scotia in the 1960s and were eventually observed in north-eastern Nova Scotia in the 1990s (Carlton & Cohen, 2003).”
• Larval development rate predicts range expansion of an introduced crab (2007, background): “In addition to its native range, which extends from northern Africa to northern Europe, C. maenas now inhabits South Africa, Australia, and both coasts of North America (Carlton and Cohen 2003).”
• BIOTIC RESISTANCE TO INVASION: NATIVE PREDATOR LIMITS ABUNDANCE AND DISTRIBUTION OF AN INTRODUCED CRAB (2005, background): “Native to the Atlantic coast of Europe, Carcinus maenas has colonized many different global regions, including both coasts of North America, Australia, and South Africa (Carlton and Cohen 2003, Thresher et al. 2003).”
• Revealing the scale of marine bioinvasions in developing regions: a South African re-assessment (2011, background): “Given that the region lies along major shipping routes, a well documented vector of marine bioinvasions (Carlton and Hodder 1995; Carlton 2003; Carlton and Cohen 2003; Occhipinti-Ambrogi and Savini 2003; Wonham et al. 2000; Wonham and Carlton 2005) it is virtually certain that marine introductions…”
• Contributions of larval biology to crustacean research: a review (2006, background): “Invasions by the European shore crab, Carcinus maenas, in Australia (Thresher et al., 2003) and on both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of North America are based on similar mechanisms (Carlton and Cohen, 2003; Behrens Yamada et al., 2005; Cameron and Metaxas, 2005).”
• Marine invasive species: validation of citizen science and implications for national monitoring networks (2007, background): “High fecundity and the characteristics of a generalist allow C. maenas to inhabit a diverse range of marine ecosystems (Carlton and Cohen 2003) and therefore, reduce beta-diversity.”
• Invasion biology of the Asian shore crab Hemigrapsus sanguineus: A review (2013, positive): “Each investigation included C. maenas, which was considered a native crab on the east coast3 and an invasive species on the west (Carlton and Cohen, 2003).”
