This paper reports on a study of European green crabs during their first ten years in the Pacific Northwest. Their populations declined as the 1997/1998 El Nino ebbed and less favorable conditions resumed. The downward trend was reversed in 2005 and 2006, however, and it now seems likely that "if winters remain mild and green crabs continue to recruit well, it is highly likely that they will spread to northern British Columbia and Alaska."}, pages = {p.725-729}, keywords = {Coos Bay, El Nino, European green crab = Carcinus maenas, Grays Harbor, invasive species, Netarts Bay, Tillamook Bay, Willapa Bay, Yaquina Bay}, doi = {10.1093/icesjms/fsm191}, author = {Yamada, Sylvia Behrens and Gillespie, Graham E.} } @article {34126, title = {An examination of the spatial and temporal generality of the influence of ecosystem engineers on the composition of associated assemblages}, journal = {Aquatic Ecology}, volume = {41}, number = {1}, year = {2007}, note = {Examined the manner and mechanisms by which ghost shrimp and eelgrass influenced associated benthic assemblages.
