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

Legacy effects of European colonialism on hotspots of biocultural diversity threat
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 ...

Morphological features, genetic analysis and life history of the exotic cladoceran Moina macrocopa (Straus, 1820) in Southeastern Brazil [PDF]
The spreading of the exotic cladoceran Moina macrocopa within the South American continent highlights the requirement for more detailed studies on this species.

Differences in characteristics between naturalized threatened plants and other threatened plants
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.
