Premature refutation of a human-mediated marine species introduction: the case history of the marine snail Littorina littorea in the northwestern Atlantic

2007-08-01

Abstract excerpt

The European periwinkle snail, Littorina littorea was discovered in Pictou, NS, Canada in 1840. This snail's subsequent rapid, conspicuous spread south from Pictou along the Canadian maritime coast and then along the New England and mid-Atlantic coast to New Jersey, its virtual absence in pre-European contact deposits, and its close association with human mechanisms of transport from Europe are among the clearest...
