Classification of non-indigenous species based on their impacts: considerations for application in marine management. [PDF]

PLoS Biology, 2015
Assessment of the ecological and economic/societal impacts of the introduction of non-indigenous species (NIS) is one of the primary focus areas of bioinvasion science in terrestrial and aquatic environments, and is considered essential to management.

Roles of Dispersal Limit and Environmental Filtering in Shaping the Spatiotemporal Patterns of Invasive Alien Plant Diversity in China

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Biological invasion pose a severe threat to global biodiversity, and studies of bioinvasion patterns and the underlying mechanisms provide critical tests to ecological theories. China is a global hotspot of biodiversity and also biological invasions. The

Bioinvasion of Mytella strigata (Hanley, 1843) in Ashtamudi Lake, Kerala, India – is pollution aggravating environmental degradation in Ramsar wetland?

Environment Conservation Journal, 2023
Polluted or degraded aquatic ecosystems accumulate more invasive species than less polluted areas. The alien invasive mussel Mytella strigata (=charruana) was reported to be affecting wild spats of mussels as a dominant competitor for space on floating ...

Aires protégées et lutte contre les bioinvasions : des objectifs antagonistes ? Le cas de Psidium cattleianum Sabine (Myrtaceae) autour du parc national de Ranomafana à Madagascar.

VertigO, 2008
Bioinvasion is a subject that has not been widely addressed and taken into account within environmental policy in Madagascar. However, many studies seem to show how ecosystems and species could be threatened in the medium term by invasive species.

Reconstructing Bioinvasion Dynamics Through Micropaleontologic Analysis Highlights the Role of Temperature Change as a Driver of Alien Foraminifera Invasion

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Invasive alien species threaten biodiversity and ecosystem structure and functioning, but incomplete assessments of their origins and temporal trends impair our ability to understand the relative importance of different factors driving invasion success ...
