Pacific oysters are now one of the most 'globalised'marine invertebrates. They dominate
bivalve aquaculture production in many regions and wild populations are increasingly …

Marine aquaculture relies on coastal habitats that will be affected by climate change. This
review assesses current knowledge of the threats and opportunities of climate change for …

Abstract The EU Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) requires that Good
Environmental Status (GEnS), is achieved for European seas by 2020. These may deviate …

Aim The spread of non‐indigenous species in marine ecosystems world‐wide is one of
today's most serious environmental concerns. Using mechanistic modelling, we investigated …

The introduction of non-native species represents unprecedented large-scale experiments
that allow us to examine ecological systems in ways that would otherwise not be possible …

This research presents the invasion history as well as an up-to-date distribution of the Pacific
oyster Magallana gigas in European coastal waters, concluding that this invasive species …

Currently, thermal sensors on satellites and other orbital platforms with high spatial
resolution designed to monitor the oceans are often insufficient to assess the surface …

Oysters have been recognized as ecological engineers for aquatic ecosystems, as oyster
reefs provide critical habitats and foraging locations for other marine species. In the past few …

High-throughput sequencing (HTS) technologies offer new promise to support surveillance
programs targeting marine non-indigenous species (NIS). Metabarcoding might surpass …

Magallana gigas is a naturalized species on the north coast of Galicia (Rías Altas, Northwest
Iberian Peninsula), where it was unintentionally introduced. In recent decades, a greater …
