The CREPIDULA project will contribute to understand the invasion process and current stage of the American slipper limpet Crepidula fornicata (Linnaeus, 1758) in the Ria de Aveiro coastal lagoon, located in the Atlantic North West coast of Portugal.

​

To achieve that it will focus on several aspects and lines of evidence, namely:

​

• the species characteristics | link

• the local introduction history | link

• the invaded niche | link

• the life-cycle | link

• the impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem services | link
