DARLING, J., C. TEPOLT, M. J. BLUM, AND M. J. BAGLEY. EUROPEAN GREEN CRABS (CARCINUS MAENAS) IN THE NORTHEASTERN PACIFIC: USING GENETIC TOOLS TO ASSESS THE INTRODUCTION AND REGIONAL EXPANSION OF AN INVASIVE SPECIES. Presented at Puget Sound Research Conference, Vancouver, BC, CANADA, March 26 - 29, 2007.
Impact/Purpose:
The goals of this research are to:
(1) determine how landscape characteristics relate to the spread of red shiner through southeastern river systems,
(2) identify behavioral and genetic mechanisms underlying interspecific hybridization, and
(3) develop models to assess the vulnerability of tributary streams to invasion by red shiner.
Description:
Oral presentation on the development and utilization of genetic tools for analyzing the spread of European green crabs (Carcinus maenas) in the eastern Pacific.
