• The Invasion of the Chinese Mitten Crab (Eriocheir sinensis) in the United Kingdom and Its Comparison to Continental Europe (2005, background): “The crab interferes with recreational and commercial fishing (Ingle 1986; Veldhuizen and Stanish 1999), causes river bank erosion through extensive burrowing (Peters 1938b; Dutton and Conroy 1998), and may compete for resources with native freshwater crustaceans (Clark et al. 1998).”
• Options for Managing Invasive Marine Species (2004, background): “The ocean is perceived by the public and man- agers as an open system, despite increasing evidence to the contrary for at least some species (Cowen et al. 2000; Sponaugle et al. 2002; Thresher et al. 2003).”
• Long‐term shifts in abundance and distribution of a temperate fish fauna: a response to climate change and fishing practices (2011, background): “For example, biological responses to these changes have been recorded off the east coast of Tasmania for sea urchins (Ling et al., 2009) and shore crabs (Thresher et al., 2003).”
• Climate-driven range changes in Tasmanian intertidal fauna (2010, background): “a range of marine taxa during recent decades (Thresher et al. 2003; Poloczanska et al. 2007), and recent studies have shown southern range expansions for a sea urchin (Ling et al.”
• Concepts for biocontrol in marine environments: is there a way forward? (2015, unknown): “However, there is currently little evidence for the effectiveness of this biocontrol mechanism (but see Mumby et al. 2011), with high profile pests, such as C. maenas, being able to establish dense populations in relatively pristine habitats (Thresher et al. 2003).”
• Impacts of climate change in a global hotspot for temperate marine biodiversity and ocean warming (2011, background): “It has alsobeen suggested that the spreadof theEuropeangreen shore crab Carcinus maenas fromVictoria into Tasmania has been facilitated by increasing ocean temperatures in response to a strengthening of the East AustraliaCurrent (Thresher et al., 2003).”
• Tide and wind control of megalopal supply to estuarine crab populations on the Portuguese west coast (2006, background): “…is one of the best studied invertebrate species and has an extensive geographical distribution, which has been exteded during the last century through artificial introduction to other continents followed by natural range expansion (Grosholz & Ruiz 1995, d’Udekem d’Acoz 1999, Thresher et al. 2003).”
• Interaction and impacts of two introduced species on a soft-sediment marine assemblage in SE Tasmania (2004, background): “C.maenas is thought to have been introduced to mainland Australia in the early 1900s (Fulton and Grant 1900), but it was not recorded in Tasmania until 1993, where its range has expanded rapidly (Gardner et al. 1994; Thresher et al. 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).”
• Contributions of larval biology to crustacean research: a review (2006, background): “Thresher, R., Proctor, C., Ruiz, G., Gurney, R., MacKinnon, C., Walton, W., Rodriguez, L. and Bax, N., Invasion dynamics of the European shore crab, Carcinus maenas, in Australia.”
• Life History and Population Dynamics of Green Crabs (Carcinus maenas) (2019, background): “mediterraneus) [8,10,27,63,76,84] and will not be included in this review.”
• Larval development rate predicts range expansion of an introduced crab (2007, background): “Once established in a recipient region, intraregional expansion of C. maenas has been episodic with rapid jumps between periods of relative stasis (Grosholz 1996; Thresher et al. 2003).”
