• PREDATION POTENTIAL OF THE INVASIVE GREEN CRAB (CARCINUS MAENAS) AND OTHER COMMON PREDATORS ON COMMERCIAL BIVALVE SPECIES FOUND ON PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND (2009, background): “Wherever they are found, green crabs have been shown to affect their new environment at various ecologic levels (e.g., Glude 1955, Ropes 1968, Hughes & Elner 1979, Elner 1981, Grosholz et al. 2000, Trussel & Smith 2000, McDonald et al. 2001, Walton et al. 2002, Floyd & Williams 2004).”
• A prediction come true: the green crab invades the Patagonian coast (2005, background): “The European green crab is considered a pest due to its predatory activity upon mollusks, crustaceans and other invertebrates (Mc Donald et al. 2001), affecting commercial fisheries and marine culture enterprises (Walton et al. 2002).”
• Interaction and impacts of two introduced species on a soft-sediment marine assemblage in SE Tasmania (2004, background): “maenas feeding on other cockles, such as Mercenaria mercenaria (Walne and Dean 1972), Katelysia rhytiphora (McKinnon 1997; Walton et al. 2002) and Cerastoderma edule (Mascaró and Seed 2000).”
• Ecological Effects of Invasive Arthropod Generalist Predators (2006, background): “Grosholz et al. (2000) reported that over a 9-year period spanning green crab invasion, several species of small clams (preferred prey of green crabs but apparently less so of native crabs) declined fivefold (see also Walton et al. 2002).”
• A framework to study the context-dependent impacts of marine invasions (2011, background): “, their size, sex, density and species identity (Lohrer and Whitlatch, 2002b; Walton et al., 2002; Byrnes and Stachowicz, 2009)), the resident biota (e.”
• Consumption rates and prey preference of the invasive gastropod Rapana venosa in the Northern Adriatic Sea (2006, background): “It is largely recognised that when an alien species finds optimal conditions for its growth and reproduction (i.e. large availability of food and a suitable habitat for reproduction), the lack of an efficient control on it by competitors/predators could determine a collapse of the entire trophic web”
