The human-mediated introduction of marine non-indigenous species is a centuries-if not
millennia-old phenomenon, but was only recently acknowledged as a potent driver of …

Recent years have witnessed growing appreciation for the ways in which human-mediated
species introductions have reshaped marine biogeography. Despite this we have yet to …

Understanding how introduced species succeed and become widely distributed within non‐
native areas is critical to reduce the threats posed by them. Our goal was to reconstruct the …

Nonlethal injury is a pervasive stress on individual animals that can affect large portions of a
population at any given time. Yet most studies examine snapshots of injury at a single place …

Nonnative species that escape their native‐range parasites may benefit not only from
reduced infection pathology, but also from relaxed selection on costly immune defenses …

Crustaceans are amongst the most reported invaders of coastal habitats, and predatory
brachyuran crabs one of the most successful marine invasive groups. They hold high …
