I present dispersal distances for 44 species with data on propagule duration (PD) for 40 of
these. Data were combined with those in Shanks et al.(2003; Ecol. Appl. 13: S159–S169) …

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 …

Newly settled invertebrates usually are subject to high rates of mortality (Type 111
survivorship). Therefore, knowledge of early post-settlement events is critical in determ …

We identified different distributions of marine nonindigenous species (NIS) and native

When provisioning offspring, mothers balance the benefits of producing a few large, fitter
offspring with the costs of decreased fecundity. The optimal balance between offspring size …

Rafting of marine and terrestrial organisms has important ecological, biogeographical and

This paper provides an inventory of non-indigenous bryozoan species (NIB) recorded in the
Mediterranean Sea. Taking into account previous NIB lists and updated non-indigenous …

The positive relationship between offspring size and offspring fitness is a fundamental
assumption of life‐history theory, but it has received relatively little attention in the marine …
