Funded Activity Summary
Post-invasion trait-mediated indirect interactions: ecological and evolutionary impacts of the invasive European green crab. A multitude of ecological interactions determine the success and impacts of invasive species. We will advance current knowledge of the impacts of invasive European green crabs in Australia by detailing ecological and evolutionary interactions with native molluscs. This information will be useful in understanding the crab's invasion success and impacts on native communities in Australia and other regions invaded by the crab worldwide. More broadly, this work will provide an evolutionary perspective of post-invasion processes that has been substantiated in terrestrial systems but is often lacking in marine systems.Funded Activity Details
