Population dynamics of the non-native crab Petrolisthes armatus invading the South Atlantic Bight at densities of thousands m2 [PDF]
The green porcelain crab Petrolisthes armatus recently invaded oyster reefs of the South Atlantic Bight. In 2 estuaries of coastal Georgia, USA, crab densities reached peak densities of 4000 to 11 000 crabs m -2 in some periods and locations. Densities generally were higher in the low versus the high intertidal and in the lower versus upper regions of ...

Macrocrustaceans associated with reefs of Phragmatopoma caudata Krøyer in Mörch, 1863 (Polychaeta: Sabellariidae) and rocky shore in the Northeastern Brazil [PDF]
Ecosystem engineering species create, modify, and/or maintain the characteristics of the environment. The polychaete Phragmatopoma caudata builds large sand reefs in the intertidal region of the Brazilian coast with high structural complexity, favoring ...
