A good understanding of the mechanisms and magnitude of the impact of invasive alien
species on ecosystem services and biodiversity is a prerequisite for the efficient prioritisation …

The development of golden tides is potentially influenced by global change factors, such as
ocean acidification and eutrophication, but related studies are very scarce. In this study, we …

Molecular phylogeographic approaches employed for studying genetic diversity and
evolution of seaweeds experienced noticeable growth since the mid-1990s and have greatly …

The green algal genus Ulva includes a speciose group of marine macroalgae inhabiting
shallow seas worldwide. Although algal blooms in Asia highlight the opportunistic nature of …

Human-mediated transport of species significantly alters their distribution at a global scale.
Since the seminal work by Elton (1958), non-indigenous species (NIS) introductions and …

Over the past 5 years, massive accumulations of holopelagic species of the brown
macroalga Sargassum in coastal areas of the Caribbean have created “golden tides” that …

Twenty years of genetic studies of marine invaders have shown that successful invaders are
often characterized by native and introduced populations displaying similar levels of genetic …

Seaweeds were among the first harvested human food supplies in several parts of the world
and are today valuable natural resources. They are, however, part of one of the most …

Dictyota cyanoloma has recently been described from the Mediterranean Sea and
Macaronesia but doubt had arisen as to whether this species was truly native in Europe. The …

Southeast Asia has been known as one of the biodiversity hotspots in the world. Repeated
glacial cycles during Pleistocene were believed to cause isolation of marine taxa in refugia …
