Biological invasions are one of the main global threats to biodiversity in terrestrial,
freshwater and marine ecosystems worldwide, requiring effective inventorying and …

Non-indigenous species (NIS) spread from marinas to natural environments is influenced by
niche availability, habitat suitability, and local biotic resistance. This study explores the effect …

Marinas contribute to the degradation of coastal ecosystems, constitute non-indigenous
species (NIS) hotspots and function as steppingstones in invasion processes. These often …

The introduction of non-indigenous species (NIS) induces severe impacts on marine
biodiversity and ecosystems. Macaronesia is an ecologically relevant region where several …

A significant challenge in comparing and contrasting regional reviews of non-native marine
species diversity is that evaluation methods vary widely, resulting in highly inconsistent …

Harbours are highly modified habitats that differ from natural areas. They are hotspots of non-
indigenous species (NIS) and act as stepping-stones in invasive processes. However, local …

Marinas are hubs for non-indigenous species (NIS) and constitute the nodes of a network of
highly modified water bodies (HMWB) connected by recreational maritime traffic. Floating …

Despite few pioneering works in the late XIX and early XX century, the poriferan fauna of
Madeira has remained mostly unexplored until today, Madeira being one of the least studied …

The proliferation of pest and invasive marine macroalgae threatens coastal ecosystems, with
biotic interactions, including direct effects such as grazing and indirect effects such as the …

The role of native predators in controlling or facilitating non-indigenous species (NIS)
growing in a fouling assemblage was investigated with a 70-day caging experiment in a …
