The Chinese mitten crabEriocheir sinensisis an invasive species outside native range and represents a substantial threat to recipient ecosystems. It is regarded as an invasive species in Japan and has recently been found in Tokyo Bay, but little is known about its possible impacts on native species, especially on the congener Japanese mitten crabEriocheir japonica. This study examined shelter competition betweenE. sinensisandE. japonicaunder laboratory conditions. Shelter competition trials were conducted in pairs of native and invasive males in different size combinations. Our results indicated that competition between two species was size-dependent:E. japonicaalways successfully defended shelter when competing with size-matched or slightly largerE. sinensis;E. sinensisalways won shelter when its carapace or chela were at least 10 or 7% larger, respectively, than those ofE. japonica. The two species exhibited different behavioural patterns: compared withE. sinensis,E. japonicafrequently displayed positive behaviour (approach, walking leg contact, chela contact) and seldomly displayed negative behaviour (retreat). Our results highlight the important role of strong native competitors in controlling invasion success and suggestE. sinensismay be unlikely to exclude nativeE. japonicafrom its habitat by direct competition for shelter.
