Limb Loss as an Indicator of Biotic Resistance Against the European Green Crab (Carcinus maenas) in Coos Bay, Oregon

Creator:

Sims, Kimberly

Abstract:

The presence of predators and competitors can offer biotic resistance against the establishment of non-native species, including the European green crab, Carcinus maenas, (EGC) in the estuary of Coos Bay, Oregon. It has been suggested that limb loss, or autotomy of the EGC will increase in areas that include populations...

To become a successful invader, species must pass through four phases: (1) survive transport, (2) survive release, (3) establish a population, and (4) expand their range. To better understand these processes, an integrated...
