A multitude of ecological interactions determine the success and impacts of invasive species. We will advance current knowledge of the impacts of invasive European green crabs in Australia by detailing ecological and evolutionary interactions with native molluscs. This information will be useful in understanding the crab's invasion success and impacts on native communities in Australia and other regions invaded by the crab worldwide. More broadly, this work will provide an evolutionary perspective of post-invasion processes that has been substantiated in terrestrial systems but is often lacking in marine systems.

许多生态相互作用决定了入侵物种的成功和影响。 我们将通过详细说明与本地软体动物的生态和进化相互作用，推进目前对入侵欧洲绿色蟹在澳大利亚的影响的认识。 这些信息将有助于了解螃蟹的入侵成功以及对澳大利亚和世界各地螃蟹入侵的其他地区的土著社区的影响。更广泛地说，这项工作将提供一个进化的角度来看，入侵后的过程，已被证实在陆地系统，但往往缺乏在海洋系统。
