Geographic Coverage
- Geographic Description
- The dataset gathers isotopic signatures of different Mediterranean areas colonised by Callinectes sapidus including seven study sites in Italy, two study sites in Greece, and one study site in Croatia, Spain and Turkey. The westernmost records are located in Spain (39.00494; -0.148602), the northernmost in Croatia (43.027423; 17.436056), the easternmost in Turkey (40.157275; 25.96473) and the southernmost in Greece (38.961748; 20.815487).

- Title
- LifeWatch ERIC Internal Joint Initiative: the validation case "Functional biogeography of invasive species: the case of two widely-distributed omnivorous crustaceans".
- Abstract
- The Internal Joint Initiative of LifeWatch ERIC has developed five validation cases on Non-native and Invasive Species (NIS) to address a variety of ecological questions. The validation case "Functional biogeography of invasive species" aims at finding bioclimatic drivers to assess the variation of the trophic position of invasive crustaceans in non-native food webs.

Method Step
- Description
- The online platforms ISI Web of Science and Scopus were searched using multiple search criteria including the terms “Callinectes sapidus” and “stable isotopes” in conjunction with “non-indigenous”, “alien”, “invasive”, “Mediterranean Sea”, and “Black Sea”. The results were integrated with those obtained by querying Google Scholar using the same search criteria together with the corresponding terms in Spanish or Portuguese (e.g., “jaiba azul”, “cangrejo azul”, “siri azul”) in order to access additional literature published in languages other than English. Google Scholar search results were saved using the freeware Publish or Perish ver. 7.27.2849.
Method Step
- Description
-
In the dataset were included only records with defined locations whose accuracy was checked using Google Earth, and geographic coordinates were converted to decimal degrees when not originally specified as such. The taxonomic check was performed using the World Register of Marine Species (https://www.marinespecies.org/).
The trophic level of prey species was assigned based on their trophic habits as follow: bivalves trophic position = 2 (filter feeders); gastropod Phorcus turbinatus trophic position = 2 (herbivore); polychaete Alitta succinea trophic position = 2.78 (omnivore).
