Non indigenous ascidians in port and natural environments in a tropical Brazilian bay

open access: yesZoologia (Curitiba), 2010
Despite limited natural dispersal, some species of ascidians can be transported vast distances via oceanic petroleum platforms, ship hulls and ballast water and therefore may be good indicators of bioinvasion.

The Influence of Resurvey Plot Location on Observed Vegetation Change

open access: yesJournal of Vegetation Science, Volume 37, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
We compared two relocation approaches in vegetation resurveys to assess how plot location error influences observed temporal vegetation changes, focusing on diversity patterns across two common grassland types in Central Europe. While both approaches yielded overall similar results, resurvey plots located preferentially indicated smaller changes in ...

The spread of non‐native species

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1197-1234, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The global redistribution of species through human agency is one of the defining ecological signatures of the Anthropocene, with biological invasions reshaping biodiversity patterns, ecosystem processes and services, and species interactions globally.

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

open access: yes, 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.

The Mediterranean Mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis (Mollusca: Bivalvia) in Chile: Distribution and Genetic Structure of a Recently Introduced Invasive Marine Species

open access: yesAnimals
The genetic characteristics of invasive species have a significant impact on their ability to establish and spread. The blue mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis), native to the Mediterranean Sea, is a leading invasive species of intertidal coasts ...

Spatio-temporal Variations in Bacterial Abundance with an Emphasis on Fecal Indicator Bacteria and Vibrio spp. in and around Visakhapatnam Port, East Coast of India

open access: yesASEAN Journal on Science and Technology for Development, 2020
The ecological health of port environments, which are dynamic and hotspots of anthropogenic activities, can be analyzed using specific pathogenic bacteria as they provide definite evidence and source of pollution.

Legacy effects of European colonialism on hotspots of biocultural diversity threat

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 1742-1754, June 2026.
Abstract Patterns of biological diversity have been shaped by cultural practices in the past, while in turn, cultures and languages have evolved in close interaction with local species and ecosystems. However, in the Anthropocene, human activities are putting increasingly diverse pressures on ecosystems and cultures, resulting in accelerating threat ...

Differences in characteristics between naturalized threatened plants and other threatened plants

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Many non‐native plant species introduced by humans have become naturalized. At the same time many species are threatened in their native range. However, the number of plant species threatened in their native range that are naturalized elsewhere remains unknown.
