Artificial reefs are submerged human-made objects. In particular, the artificial wrecks intentionally obsolete ships. Once deployed, these rapidly colonized by diverse benthic communities. Currently, this effect is positively valued recreational diving industry, which uses colonization as one of main arguments to promote deployment wrecks. However, there increasing evidence that not a substitute for natural and may alter complex ecological processes such food web structure increase...
The risk of introducing weeds to new areas through grain (cereals, oilseeds and pulses) intended for process ing or consumption is typically considered less than that from seed plants planting. However, within the range end uses grain, weed varies significantly should not be ignored. In this paper, we discuss pathway analysis as a framework examine association seeds with commodities throughout production field final use, present inspection sampling data crops commonly imported Canada. field,...
Abstract As part of the 2020–2030 strategic framework for International Plant Protection Convention, a focus group on climate change was established in 2021. The includes scientists and plant health officials from around world. has been raising awareness importance to health, promoting consideration all IPPC activities drafting technical resources NPPOs. is due continue its until 2025.

Recreational vessels favor the secondary spread of exotic marine species hosted on hull biofouling communities through coastal trips.Hull is also a problem for vessel owners because it reduces efficiency and maneuverability vessel.This study documents pioneer case alternative management in context where local regulations prohibit in-water cleaning operations there are no shore-based facilities.We designed put into practice method to manually clean 35 meter long catamaran, by beaching...
The aims of this study were to compare the richness and population traits exotic native peracarid species in two ports Southwestern Atlantic (Mar del Plata: MDP, Puerto Madryn: PMY), order discuss vulnerability these environments biological invasions, explore current status assemblages life history that could favour establishment ports. Five biofouling samples taken each season from 2016 2017. present showed dominants both but profound differences registered between environments: MDP port is...
Abstract Invasive species threaten the conservation of marine environments, and urgent management strategies are needed to prevent their introduction, establishment spread. Specifically, invasive predators destabilize ecological interactions alter community structure function. However, most evidence showing effect these is restricted a few regions, while for others information remains scarce. This study experimentally evaluated effects sea slug Pleurobranchaea maculata , recently introduced...
Ports are considered important sites for reception and dispersion of marine exotic species throughout the world, making monitoring studies necessary to determine vulnerability these areas those species.Peracarids characterized by larval stages restricted female brood pouch juveniles with a low dispersal rate.However, several have invaded large number environments worldwide, them an excellent model invasion studies.The main objective this work was study diversity peracarid in two ports...
Non-indigenous bryozoans are frequent components of biofouling assemblages in harbour environments worldwide. We performed a survey artificial hard substrates six harbours spanning 16 degrees latitude along the coast Argentina, from Ingeniero White (38º47' S) to Ushuaia (54º48' S). Microeciella argentina n. sp., distributed warm-temperate waters northern Patagonia and Buenos Aires Province, is described. The non-indigenous species (NIS) Callopora dumerilii, Smittoidea spinigera Stephanollona...
