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.

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 ...
