Coastal marine ecosystems worldwide are being altered rapidly by the invasion of nonindigenous species. Unlike terrestrial and freshwater systems, the impacts of an invading species have never been quantified on multiple trophic levels for a marine food web. We measured the impact of the nonindigenous green crab, Carcinus maenas, on a coastal marine food web in central California and found that this predator exerted strong “top-down” control, significantly reducing the abundances of several of the 20 invertebrate species monitored over a 9-yr period. Densities of native clams, Nutricola tantilla and Nutricola confusa, and native shore crabs, Hemigrapsus oregonensis, showed 5-fold …

California produces 90% of all wine within the U.S. and dominates the $33 billion/year domestic retail wine industry. Since the 1950s, wine grape growers in California have seen dramatic increases in premium wine quality, grape yield, and crop value. Advances in viticultural practices (irrigation, nutrition, pest/disease control, trellising etc.) and experience in wine making have certainly contributed to the success (Jackson and Lombard 1993). In spite of such advances, wine growers generally believe climate plays a significant role in determining the quantity and quality of a given vintage.

Advances in molecular biology offer promise to the study of demographic characteristics of rare or hard-re-capture species, because individuals can now be identified through noninvasive sampling such as fecal collection or hair snags. However, individual genotyping using such methods currently leads to a novel problem that we call a "shadow effect," because some animals not captured previously are believed to be recaptures due to their DNA profile being an indistinguishable shadow of previously captured animals. We evaluate the impact of the shadow effect on the two methods most commonly used in applied population ecology to estimate the size of closed …
