Scientists' warning on invasive alien species
Biological invasions are a global consequence of an increasingly connected world and the
rise in human population size. The numbers of invasive alien species–the subset of alien …

Biological and ecological traits of marine species
MJ Costello, S Claus, S Dekeyzer, L Vandepitte… - PeerJ, 2015 - peerj.com
This paper reviews the utility and availability of biological and ecological traits for marine
species so as to prioritise the development of a world database on marine species traits. In …

Global rise in emerging alien species results from increased accessibility of new source pools
Our ability to predict the identity of future invasive alien species is largely based upon
knowledge of prior invasion history. Emerging alien species—those never encountered as …

Prioritizing species, pathways, and sites to achieve conservation targets for biological invasion
Prioritization is indispensable for the management of biological invasions, as recognized by
the Convention on Biological Diversity, its current strategic plan, and specifically Aichi Target …

Detection of introduced and resident marine species using environmental DNA metabarcoding of sediment and water
Environmental DNA (eDNA) surveys are increasingly being used for biodiversity monitoring,
principally because they are sensitive and can provide high resolution community …

A massive update of non-indigenous species records in Mediterranean marinas
The Mediterranean Sea is home to over 2/3 of the world's charter boat traffic and hosts an
estimated 1.5 million recreational boats. Studies elsewhere have demonstrated marinas as …

A framework for understanding marine cosmopolitanism in the Anthropocene
JA Darling, JT Carlton - Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018 - frontiersin.org
Recent years have witnessed growing appreciation for the ways in which human-mediated
species introductions have reshaped marine biogeography. Despite this we have yet to …

Research biases create overrepresented “poster children” of marine invasion ecology
Nonnative marine species are increasingly recognized as a threat to the world's oceans, yet
are poorly understood relative to their terrestrial and freshwater counterparts. Here, we …
