Many aquatic crustaceans pass through a complex life cycle comprising a benthic juvenile-
adult and a pelagic larval phase. In the study of aquatic ecology, meroplanktonic larvae are …

Vessel hull-fouling is increasingly recognised as one of the major vectors for the transfer of
marine non-indigenous species. For hundreds of years, copper (Cu) has been used as a …

We identified different distributions of marine nonindigenous species (NIS) and native
species on some artificial structures versus natural reefs and using experimental …

Anthropogenic disturbance is considered a risk factor in the establishment of non‐
indigenous species (NIS); however, few studies have investigated the role of anthropogenic …

Although individual ecosystems vary greatly in the degree to which they have been invaded
by exotic species, it has remained difficult to isolate mechanisms influencing invader …

Biological invasions depend in part on the resistance of native communities. Meta‐analyses
of terrestrial experiments demonstrate that native primary producers and herbivores …

Sydney Harbour is a hotspot for diversity. However, as with estuaries worldwide, its diversity
and functioning faces increasing threats from urbanisation. This is the first synthesis of …

The rate of coastal marine invasions has increased dramatically in recent time; however, it
appears that not all habitats are equally important as sites of colonization. An analysis of the …

One of the core goals of invasion biology is the identification of factors that increase the risk
of establishment success of non-native species. Historically, marine invasions have been …

Ecology Letters (2011) 14: 52–57 Abstract Disturbance can affect both the diversity and
invasibility of communities. Many field studies have found correlations between diversity and …
