This study compiled available information on the dispersal distance of the propagules of
benthic marine organisms and used this information in the development of criteria for the …

Quantitative and qualitative surveys were conducted on five of the main Hawaiian Islands to
determine the current distribution of nonindigenous algae and to assess the level of impact …

Molecular phylogeographic approaches employed for studying genetic diversity and
evolution of seaweeds experienced noticeable growth since the mid-1990s and have greatly …

Human-mediated transport of species significantly alters their distribution at a global scale.
Since the seminal work by Elton (1958), non-indigenous species (NIS) introductions and …

The significance of marine algal invasion is undisputed in the global context; however, this

Sargassum polyceratium is widely distributed around the island of Curaçao (Netherlands
Antilles) where it inhabits strongly contrasting habitats. Changes in population structure …

Abstract Sargassum muticum (Fucales: Sargassaceae) has been present in Scandinavia
since 1984. In Limfjorden, a shallow Danish sound, it has invaded the habitat of the …

The potential for non-native species to outcompete native species, change ecosystem

We determined the effects of irradiance, temperature, and desiccation on the photosynthesis
of a brown alga, Sargassum muticum (Fucales), from its native distributional range in Japan …

The biogeographic boundaries of seaweeds are largely determined by temperature
tolerances, physical barriers and limitations to dispersal. Anthropogenic ocean warming and …
