Unexpected meal: first record of predation upon a potentially neurotoxic sea slug by the European green crab Carcinus maenas
ABSTRACT An unexpected predator-prey interaction is reported between two successful invasive species in Patagonia, the European green crab Carcinus maenas (Linnaeus, 1758) and the potentially neurotoxic grey side-gilled sea slug Pleurobranchaea maculata (Quoy & Gaimard, 1832). On two different occasions, a total of four crabs were observed preying upon the sea slugs in the field. The establishment of a novel predator-prey interaction between these species can imply significant effects on their potential spread and invasive success along the South Western Atlantic, as well as it provides a noteworthy contribution towards the knowledge of the currently underexplored question related to what eats the sea slugs.
期刊介绍:
Aims: The diversity of the fauna of the southern continents and oceans is of worldwide interest to researchers in universities, museums, and other centres. The New Zealand Journal of Zoology plays an important role in disseminating information on field-based, experimental, and theoretical research on the zoology of the region.
