Abstract The Topical Collection on Invasive Species includes 50 articles addressing many
tenets of marine invasion ecology. The collection covers important topics relating to …

The arrival of an invasive species in a new region is the culmination of a set of relatively
discrete steps, including the invader's initial association with a transport vector, its tolerance …

The timing of the publication of this book couldn't be better as we celebrate the 50th
anniversary of Charles Elton's seminal book, The Ecology of Invasions by Animals and …

One of the core goals of invasion biology is the identification of factors that increase the risk
of establishment success of non-native species. Historically, marine invasions have been …

Invasions frequently continue long after dispersal corridors have been well established. Six
interrelated processes (changes in donor regions, new donor regions, changes in recipient …

In the continuum of invasion phases, establishment stands at the interface between the
initial introduction of propagules and the integration of the invader into the ecological …

Not all introduced (invasive) species in a region will spread from a single point of
introduction. Long-distance dispersal or further introductions can obscure the pattern of …

Although coastal estuarine and marine systems are among the most heavily invaded
systems in the world, the study of nonindigenous species in these systems has, historically …

With expanding trade resulting in increased global transport of non-native species, a
broader understanding of the mechanisms of marine invasions is becoming increasingly …

The old ocean is gone. Life in today's seas is changing in an alarming rate. While many
species are dwindling due to overfishing and habitat destruction (Roberts 2007), others …
