Socio-environmental impacts of non-native and transplanted aquatic mollusc species in South America: What do we really know? [PDF]
The impacts of biological invasions remain poorly known for some habitats, regions and taxa. To date, there has been no comprehensive effort to review and synthesize the impacts of invasive mollusc species in South America.

Invasiones biológicas y dimensiones humanas: Aún necesitamos trabajar duro en nuestras perspectivas sociales [PDF]
In this article, we analyze and challenge a long-held paradigm that reduces the field of biological invasions to its ecological components. We explore thirteen case studies grouped within three major human dimensions (values, traditions, and quality of ...

The role of spatial dependency in niche shifts of invasive species [PDF]
Invasive species are an ongoing threat to nature and human interests. Species distribution models are used to predict the current and potential distribution of invasive species, but doing so has proved difficult. One possible cause of this difficulty are

Rangitoto and Motutapu – A Starting Point for Future Vertebrate Pest Eradications on Inhabited Islands [PDF]
Conservation efforts in New Zealand have removed invasive mammals from more than 130 offshore and inshore islands. Of these islands, just 8 were permanently inhabited by someone other than a government employee.

Elucidating the origin and transmission of tetrodotoxin in New Zealand bivalves [PDF]
Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a potent neurotoxin that acts by selectively targeting sodium channels, blocking propagation of action potentials and causing paralysis.

Genetic structure of Pleurobranchaea maculata in New Zealand : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Genetics, The New Zealand Institute for Advanced Study, Massey University, Auckland, New Zealand [PDF]
The grey side-gilled sea slug (Pleurobranchaea maculata), which is native to the western and south Pacific, is known to contain high concentrations of tetrodotoxin (TTX). P. maculata populations around New Zealand exhibit individual, spatial and temporal

First Phylogenomic Reconstruction of the Nudibranch Suborder Doridina (Gastropoda, Heterobranchia), Using RNA-SEQ Data [PDF]
Doridina is a diverse group of sea slugs composed of over 2000 species and 16 families. This diversity can be hypothesized as a result of the evolution of unique defensive and feeding strategies in this group.
