Big data analysis for evaluating bioinvasion risk [PDF]
BMC Bioinformatics, 2018 Background Global maritime trade plays an important role in the modern transportation industry. It brings significant economic profit along with bioinvasion risk. Species translocate and establish in a non-native area through ballast water and biofouling.

Complete chloroplast genome of an invasive marine macroalga Ulva californica (Ulvophyceae, Chlorophyta) [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2022 Species belonging to Ulva (Ulvophyceae, Chlorophyta) are one of the major members of invasive seaweeds. Ulva californica Wille 1899 was originally believed to be native to the Pacific coast of North America, while in recent years it has been reported as ...

Genetic diversity patterns of lionfish in the Southwestern Atlantic Ocean reveal a rapidly expanding stepping-stone bioinvasion process [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 In 2020, multiple lionfish (Pterois spp.) records along the equatorial Southwestern (SW) Atlantic revealed a new expansion of these potentially damaging invasive populations, which could impact over 3500 km of Brazilian coastline over the next few years,

Habitat Preferences at the Leading Edge of a Marine Bioinvasion [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionTo enable the early detection and eradication of invasive species, it is crucial to predict habitats with an elevated risk of invasion. Despite the fact that invaders may display initial habitat preferences and niche shifts during range expansion ...

Sediment accumulation by coastal biogenic structures sustains intertidal flats facing sea level rise in the German Wadden sea [PDF]
Scientific ReportsBiogenic structures such as oyster reefs and mussel beds can enhance sedimentation and promote the expansion of intertidal flats in the German Wadden Sea. This study presents large-scale measurements of sedimentation at biogenic structures that depend on
