Phylogeography of Petrolisthes armatus, an invasive species with low dispersal ability [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 Theoretically, species with high population structure are likely to expand their range, because marginal populations are free to adapt to local conditions; however, meta-analyses have found a negative relation between structure and invasiveness. The crab

A non-native prey mediates the effects of a shared predator on an ecosystem service. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Non-native species can alter ecosystem functions performed by native species often by displacing influential native species. However, little is known about how ecosystem functions may be modified by trait-mediated indirect effects of non-native species ...

'Caribbean Creep' chills out: climate change and marine invasive species. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 BACKGROUND: New marine invasions have been recorded in increasing numbers along the world's coasts due in part to the warming of the oceans and the ability of many invasive marine species to tolerate a broader thermal range than native species.

Evaluating biodegradable alternatives to plastic mesh for small‐scale oyster reef restoration
Restoration Ecology, Volume 31, Issue 3, March 2023., 2023 Polyethylene plastic mesh is commonly used for containing oyster shells in small‐scale oyster reef restoration, but environmental and public health concerns have prompted investigations of biodegradable alternatives. Shallow (<0.5 m) and deep (approximately 1 m) oyster reefs (approximately 6 m2) were constructed in the Mission‐Aransas Estuary, Texas, U.

Journal of Marine Sciences, Volume 2011, Issue 1, 2011., 2011 The composition and distribution of the main associations of submerged macrobenthos of Bahía Málaga (Colombian pacific coast), were studied in relation to the distribution of hard and soft substrates and some abiotic factors. Eight localities were sampled during six months: three in the external border of the estuary and five in the inner part.
