We review empirical studies on how bioinvasions alter food webs and how a food-web
perspective may change their prediction and management. Predation is found to underlie …

Predation is a dominant structuring force in ecological communities. In aquatic
environments, predation on bivalves has long been an important focal interaction for …

Biological invasions are a significant driver of human-induced global change and many
ecosystems sustain sympatric invaders. Interactions occurring among these invaders have …

Niche partitioning of time, space or resources is considered the key to allowing the
coexistence of competitor species, and particularly guilds of predators. However, the extent …

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 …

The subphylum Crustacea includes the most successful species among aquatic alien
invaders. The impacts of invasive alien crustaceans (IAC) are often substantial, due to the …

From the depths of the oceans to the shallow estuaries and wetlands of our coasts,
organisms of the marine environment are teeming with unique adaptations to cope with a …

Many aquatic ecosystems sustain multiple invasive species and interactions among them
have important implications for ecosystem structure and functioning. Here, we examine …

The Asian shore crab, Hemigrapsus sanguineus, is native to coastal and estuarine habitat
along the east coast of Asia. The species was first observed in North America near Delaware …

Biological invasions create complex ecological and societal issues worldwide. Most of the
knowledge about invasions comes only from successful invaders, but less is known about …
