How bad are invaders in coastal waters? The case of the American slipper limpet Crepidula fornicata in western Europe

2006-12-01

Abstract excerpt

Introduced species are assumed to exert a variety of negative ecological effects in their new environments. However, rigid studies on such effects are still rare. Using a case study we exemplify pitfalls and obstacles for research on ecological effects of invaders and highlight the need for a concise framework. The suspension feeding gastropod Crepidula fornicata was accidentally introduced with American oysters t...
