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 ...

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.

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.

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 Benthic Species Along the Montenegrin Coast

2021
Non-indigenous species are a global problem and their registration is an ongoing process. Although there are numerous data on the presence of introduced benthic species along the Montenegrin coast, this is an additional effort to consolidate that type of information. The paper presents the species with a map of the distribution. References in which the

Does seawall greening facilitate non-indigenous species?

2022
Artificial structures such as seawalls, typically support less biodiversity than the natural habitats they replace and can harbour non-indigenous species (NIS). Greening projects enhance biodiversity by adding complexity and surface area. It is, however, unclear to what extent they facilitate NIS.

Management of Non-indigenous Species and Invasive Alien Species

2017
When seeking to manage the risks to marine ecosystems and other marine assets arising from the introduction of invasive alien species by human activities, there are two challenges to be surmounted: first, how to avoid the unintentional introduction of non-indigenous species and, second, how to prevent the intentional introduction of such species which,

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.

Long-term coexistence of non-indigenous species in aquaculture facilities

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2011
Non-indigenous species (NIS) are a growing problem globally and, in the sea, aquaculture activities are critical vectors for their introduction. Aquaculture introduces NIS, intentionally or unintentionally, and can provide substratum for the establishment of other NIS. Little is known about the co-occurrence of NIS over long periods and we document the

DNA-based monitoring of Non-Indigenous Species

2023
The introduction of non-indigenous species (NIS) has a significant human-driven impact on aquaticenvironments, causing the loss of native species, ecosystem integrity, ecosystem services, and economicbenefits. However, monitoring efforts for new NIS introductions in European waters have been limited andinconsistent.
