Abundance and instantaneous transport of Petrolisthes armatus (Gibbes, 1850) planktonic larvae in the Catuama inlet, Northeast Brazil [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2012 The influence of tidal and diel changes on the exchange of Petrolisthes armatus planktonic larvae was studied at the Catuama inlet, which represents an intermediate system of marine and estuarine environments in the Northeast Brazil.

Phylogeography of Petrolisthes armatus, an invasive species with low dispersal ability [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 Theoretically, species with high population structure are likely to expand their range, because marginal populations are free to adapt to local conditions; however, meta-analyses have found a negative relation between structure and invasiveness. The crab

A non-native prey mediates the effects of a shared predator on an ecosystem service. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Non-native species can alter ecosystem functions performed by native species often by displacing influential native species. However, little is known about how ecosystem functions may be modified by trait-mediated indirect effects of non-native species ...

'Caribbean Creep' chills out: climate change and marine invasive species. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 BACKGROUND: New marine invasions have been recorded in increasing numbers along the world's coasts due in part to the warming of the oceans and the ability of many invasive marine species to tolerate a broader thermal range than native species.

The discovery of new deep-sea hydrothermal vent communities in the southern ocean and implications for biogeography. [PDF]
PLoS Biol, 2012 Since the first discovery of deep-sea hydrothermal vents along the Gala´pagos Rift in 1977, numerous vent sites and endemic faunal assemblages have been found along mid-ocean ridges and back-arc basins at low to mid latitudes.
