Invasions by exotic species represent both threats to ecosystems as well as opportunities to
learn more about them. Among the invaders that will have the largest impacts are those that …

Marine aliens are non-native species that have been transported across major geographical
barriers by human activities, involving vectors that move propagules along pathways …

We conducted a comprehensive survey of existing knowledge about exotic marine
organisms introduced to the southwestern Atlantic Ocean, including coastal and shelf areas …

Ecologists have long known that certain organisms fundamentally modify, create, or define
habitats by altering the habitat's physical properties. In the past 15 years, these processes …

This systematic review analysed scientific publications to identify relevant research about
the impact of alien polychaete species around the world, using the PRISMA (Preferred …

In this work, we evaluate the effect of the introduced reef-building polychaete Ficopomatus
enigmaticus on the benthic community and on sediment characteristics of a southwestern …

Although the environmental impact of invasive species is variable, ecosystem engineers
usually dramatically modify the ecosystem through different mechanisms. Here, we …

In organic-enriched sedimentary systems, like many Mediterranean coastal lagoons, a
detailed analysis of sediment grain size composition and partitioning within the muds is …

Abstract Poly (ethylene glycol)(PEG)-based graft copolymers have been widely applied for
the modification of poly (dimethyl siloxane)(PDMS)-based coatings that resist marine …

What makes a community invasible? For over a century ecologists have sought to
understand the relative importance of biotic and abiotic factors that determine community …
