Non-indigenous species in Mediterranean ports: A knowledge baseline

Marine Environmental Research, 2020
Port areas have been considered bioinvasion hotspots due to the concentration of several invasion vectors. However, the actual distribution of non-indigenous species (NIS) in Mediterranean ports is still poorly understood. Here we conducted a literature review with the aim to provide a knowledge baseline about NIS distribution in Mediterranean ports ...

Effects of shipping on non-indigenous species in the Baltic Sea

Science of The Total Environment, 2022
Shipping is regarded as an important vector for aquatic non-indigenous species (ANIS) worldwide. Less attention has been paid to its role in relation to environmental and economic causes of introduction and establishment, the knowledge of which is necessary to assess effects of changes in regulations on shipping.

Introduction of Non-indigenous Species

2017
With the commencement of anthropogenic transcontinental movements followed by a continually increasing global traffic and intentional transfer of organisms, a diverse array of human-mediated pathways appeared responsible for transporting numerous marine species between different eco-regions.

Country characteristics and non-indigenous species

Environment and Development Economics, 2010
ABSTRACTThis paper presents an econometric test of two hypotheses underlying the occurrence of non-indigenous species (NIS) at the global scale: openness of recipient nations which allows for international trade to act as a vector of NIS, and habitat fragmentation in recipient nations which facilitates establishment of introduced NIS.

OSPAR request on non-indigenous species

2023
ICES analyzed data on the presence and distribution of marine non-indigenous species collated from the Delivering Alien Invasive Species Inventories for Europe database (DAISIE ) and from ICES member countries. Over 160 marine species have been identified in OSPAR regions.

Non-indigenous species likely introduced by shipping into the Adriatic Sea

Marine Policy, 2021
By the intensification of maritime traffic, shipping could become one of the most likely pathways of introduction of non-indigenous species (NIS) in the Adriatic Sea. In this paper we provided an updated list of NIS introduced into Adriatic Sea by shipping as pathway, the most likely vectors of introduction, country of first detection, year, origin ...

Non-Indigenous Species and Ecological Explanation

Biology and Philosophy, 2001
Within the last 20 years, the US has mounted amassive campaign against invasions bynon-indigenous species (NIS) such as zebramussels, kudzu, water hyacinths, and brown treesnakes. NIS have disrupted native ecosystemsand caused hundreds of billions of dollars ofannual damage.
