Biological invasions, resulting from human activities, exert substantial impacts on
ecosystems worldwide. This review focuses on marine invasive alien species (IAS) in …

Biological invasions threaten biodiversity in terrestrial, freshwater and marine ecosystems,
requiring substantial conservation and management efforts. To examine how the …

Biological invasions have become a defining feature of marine Mediterranean ecosystems
with significant impacts on biodiversity, ecosystem services, and human health. We …

Global warming causes the poleward shift of the trailing edges of marine ectotherm species
distributions. In the semi-enclosed Mediterranean Sea, continental masses and …

Managing invasive alien species is particularly challenging in the ocean mainly because
marine ecosystems are highly connected across broad spatial scales. Eradication of marine …

Humans are rapidly transforming the structural configuration of the planet's ecosystems, but
these changes and their ecological consequences remain poorly quantified in underwater …

Trophic downgrading destabilizes ecosystems and can drive large‐scale shifts in ecosystem
state. While restoring predatory interactions in marine reserves can reverse anthropogenic …

In the Anthropocene, marine ecosystems are rapidly shifting to new ecological states.
Achieving effective conservation of marine biodiversity has become a fast‐moving target …

Aim A large body of ecological theory predicts that non‐indigenous species (NIS) are
successful invaders if their niches overlap little with native taxa. Native–non‐indigenous trait …

Global change is striking harder and faster in the Mediterranean Sea than elsewhere, where
high levels of human pressure and proneness to climate change interact in modifying the …
