There is mounting evidence that reduced genetic diversity in invasive populations is not as
commonplace as expected. Recent studies indicate that high propagule vectors, such as …

By providing new approaches to the investigation of demographic and evolutionary
dynamics of wild populations, molecular genetics has led to fundamental changes in our …

Abstract The European green crab Carcinus maenas is one of the world's most successful
aquatic invaders, having established populations on every continent with temperate shores …

The subphylum Crustacea includes the most successful species among aquatic alien
invaders. The impacts of invasive alien crustaceans (IAC) are often substantial, due to the …

From the depths of the oceans to the shallow estuaries and wetlands of our coasts,
organisms of the marine environment are teeming with unique adaptations to cope with a …

The extent to which the geographic distributions of marine organisms have been reshaped
by human activities remains underappreciated, and so does, consequently, the impact of …

Abstract The Chinese mitten crab Eriocheir sinensis is a native of freshwater and estuarine
habitats along the east coast of Asia. Invasive populations have existed in northern Europe …

Geographical traceability is critical to the commercial viability of the highly valued Chinese
mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis). This study examined the possibility of utilizing a …

A recent paper in Molecular Ecology by Jost (2008) seriously questions the merit of the
widely used GST statistic and its derivatives as measures of genetic differentiation. This has …

Molecular genetic analyses show that introduced populations undergoing biological
invasions often bring together individuals from genetically disparate native-range source …
