Meta-analysis reveals less sensitivity of non-native animals than natives to extreme weather worldwide
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 …

Unexpected genetic structure of mussel populations in South Africa: indigenous Perna perna and invasive Mytilus galloprovincialis
Genetic structure of sedentary marine organisms with planktonic larvae can be influenced by
oceanographic transport, larval behaviour and local selection. We analysed the population …

Hydrodynamic stress and habitat partitioning between indigenous (Perna perna) and invasive (Mytilus galloprovincialis) mussels: constraints of an evolutionary …
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 …
