The implications of climate change for biological invasions are multifaceted and vary along
the invasion process. Changes in vectors and pathways are likely to manifest in changes in …

Extreme weather events (EWEs; for example, heatwaves, cold spells, storms, floods and
droughts) and non-native species invasions are two major threats to global biodiversity and …

The ability of a mussel to withstand wave-generated hydrodynamic stress depends mainly
on its byssal attachment strength. This study investigated causes and consequences of …

With expanding trade resulting in increased global transport of non-native species, a
broader understanding of the mechanisms of marine invasions is becoming increasingly …

The indigenous mussel Perna perna and the invasive mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis
coexist on the low shore of the South African south coast, with partial habitat partitioning. P …

Invasive species can affect the function and structure of natural ecological communities,
hence understanding and predicting their potential for spreading is a major ecological …

Three classes of mussel, the invasive Mytilus galloprovincialis and 2 genetic lineages of the
indigenous Perna perna, show partially overlapping distributions along a large-scale …

Seagrass meadows support high biodiversity and are important for invertebrate harvesting
activities in developing countries. The aim of this study was to estimate the social and …

Non-native species are a major driver of environmental change. In this study we assessed
the ecological impact of the “worst” non-native species and the associated scientific and …

The ability of an invasive species to spread in a new locality depends on its interaction with
the indigenous community and on variation in time and space in the environment. The …
