Invisible invaders: A new warning flag for molecularly detected alien species (MODAS) in databases and information systems. [PDF]
Ecol ApplAbstract Invasive alien species (IAS) threaten biodiversity, ecosystem functioning, and services. Early detection and monitoring are essential for preventing IAS spread and mitigating their impacts. Conventional monitoring approaches rely on physical evidence and frequently fail to detect species in inaccessible habitats, cryptic life stages, or poorly

Seascape Connectivity Shapes Genetic and Species β-Diversity in Tropical Reef Fishes. [PDF]
Ecol EvolOur study combines species occurrence data from five reef fish families with genomic SNP data for 19 species. A correlation between genetic and species β‐diversity emerges only in the Western Indian Ocean, where higher genetic β‐diversity and significant isolation by distance at both the population and community levels are detected.

Will the Mediterranean Sea Be a Cul-de-Sac for Marine Gastropods Under Climate Change? [PDF]
Ecol EvolMarine benthic gastropods remain understudied despite extensive historical records, limiting our understanding of their vulnerability to climate change. Using multi‐temporal species distribution models, we show that intermediate future climate conditions may trigger major habitat contractions for four key cowrie and frog‐shell species in the NE ...

MarINvaders: A web toolkit of marine species for use in environmental assessments
Ecosphere, 2023 Invasive species are the second most important reason for species extinction since 1500 ad. In addition, these invasive species can cause vast economic loss. In marine ecoregions, alien species introductions are increasing, and those that become invasive

How to Census Marine Life: ocean realm field projects
Scientia Marina, 2005 COML field projects will extend our understanding of ocean diversity, distribution and abundance from the nearshore to the abyssal plains. In nearshore, coastal and the upper ocean zones where diversity is reasonably well known it will add details about ...
