Freshwater fish have been widely introduced worldwide, and freshwater ecosystems are
among those most affected by biological invasions. Consequently, freshwater fish invasions …

Teleost fishes are the most diverse group of vertebrates on Earth. On tropical coral reefs,
their species richness exceeds 6000 species; one tenth of total vertebrate biodiversity. A …

Radical environmental change that provokes population decline can impose constraints on
the sources of genetic variation that may enable evolutionary rescue. Adaptive toxicant …

Human impacts on the world's oceans have been substantial, leading to concerns about the
extinction of marine taxa. We have compiled 133 local, regional and global extinctions of …

▪ Abstract Biological invasions of marine habitats have been common, and many patterns
emerge from the existing literature. In North America, we identify 298 nonindigenous species …

Invasion ecology has been criticised for its lack of general principles. To explore this
criticism, we conducted a meta-analysis that examined characteristics of invasiveness (ie the …

Aim To understand why and when areas of endemism (provinces) of the tropical Atlantic
Ocean were formed, how they relate to each other, and what processes have contributed to …

We identified different distributions of marine nonindigenous species (NIS) and native
species on some artificial structures versus natural reefs and using experimental …

In Alien Species and Evolution, biologist George W. Cox reviews and synthesizes emerging
information on the evolutionary changes that occur in plants, animals, and microbial …

Aim We examine fish invasions in the south‐eastern M editerranean as a model system for
the invasibility of open coasts and provide perspectives through a review of global marine …
