[PDF][PDF] Anthropogenic activities promoting the establishment and spread of marine non-indigenous species post-arrival
The invasion of natural ecosystems by non-indigenous species (NIS) is one of the greatest
threats to native biodiversity (Wilcove et al. 1998, Butchart et al. 2010). Although only a small …
