The European Union lacks a comprehensive framework to address the threats posed by introduction and spread of marine non-indigenous species (NIS). Current efforts are fragmented suffer substantial gaps in coverage. In this paper we identify discuss issues relating assessment spatial temporal patterns introductions Seas (ES), based on scientifically validated information system aquatic cryptogenic species, AquaNIS. While recognizing limitations existing data, extract that can be used assess...
Egypt to build new Suez canal… 'This giant project will be the creation of a canal parallel current channel' said Mohab Mamish, chairman Canal Authority, in televised speech.''(http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/aug/05/egypt-build-new-suez-canal, viewed August 13, 2014).This is ominous news.Expected double capacity Canal, expansion sure have diverse range effects, at local and regional scales, on both biological diversity ecosystem goods services Mediterranean Sea.Of nearly 700...
Assessment of the ecological and economic/societal impacts introduction non-indigenous species (NIS) is one primary focus areas bioinvasion science in terrestrial aquatic environments, considered essential to management. A classification system NIS, based on magnitude their environmental impacts, was recently proposed assist Here, we consider potential application this scheme marine environment, offer a complementary framework focussing value sets order explicitly address management...
The introduction of aquatic non-indigenous species (ANS) has become a major driver for global changes in biogeography. We examined spatial patterns and temporal trends ANS detections since 1965 to inform conservation policy management.Global.We assembled an extensive dataset first records detection (1965-2015) across 49 ecosystems, including the (a) year collection, (b) population status (c) potential pathway(s) introduction. Data were analysed at regional levels assess rate, richness...
The threat posed by invasive non-native species worldwide requires a global approach to identify which introduced are likely pose an elevated risk of impact native and ecosystems. To inform policy, stakeholders management decisions on threats aquatic ecosystems, 195 assessors representing 120 assessment areas across all six inhabited continents screened 819 from 15 groups organisms (freshwater, brackish, marine plants animals) using the Aquatic Species Invasiveness Screening Kit. This...
ABSTRACT Standardised terminology in science is important for clarity of interpretation and communication. In invasion – a dynamic rapidly evolving discipline the proliferation technical has lacked standardised framework its development. The result convoluted inconsistent usage terminology, with various discrepancies descriptions damage interventions. A therefore needed clear, universally applicable, consistent to promote more effective communication across researchers, stakeholders,...
The information extracted from IMPASSE, DAISIE, FishBase, and FAO-DIAS inventories of alien species were used to draw a list the 27 most utilized animal for aquaculture related activities (e.g. stocking, sport fishing, ornamental purposes) in Europe. Three variables have been considered assess their negative ecological impacts when these escape facilities: (i) distribution across Europe (including non-EU Member States); (ii) evidence environmental impact wild; (iii) being vectors non-target...
The human-mediated introduction of marine non-indigenous species is a centuries- if not millennia-old phenomenon, but was only recently acknowledged as potent driver change in the sea. We provide synopsis key historical milestones for bioinvasions, including timelines (a) discovery and understanding invasion process, focusing on transfer mechanisms outcomes, (b) methodologies used detection monitoring, (c) approaches to ecological impacts research, (d) management policy responses. Early...
The Mediterranean Sea is home to over 2/3 of the world’s charter boat traffic and hosts an estimated 1.5 million recreational boats. Studies elsewhere have demonstrated marinas as important hubs for stepping-stone transfer non-indigenous species (NIS), but these unique anthropogenic, typically artificial habitats largely gone overlooked in sources NIS hot-spots. From April 2015 November 2016, 34 were sampled across following countries: Spain, France, Italy, Malta, Greece, Turkey Cyprus...
The role of commercial harbours as sink and source habitats for non-indigenous species (NIS) the recreational boating their secondary spread were investigated by analysing fouling community five Italian marinas in western Mediterranean Sea. It was first hypothesised that NIS assemblages subsets those occurring harbours. However, data did not consistently support this hypothesis: pools some significantly diverged from even belonging to same coastal stretches, including only marinas. This...

Abstract Despite the Mediterranean being both a hotspot for recreational boating and non‐indigenous species (NIS), no data currently exists on sector's contribution to spread of NIS in this Sea. To improve basis management decisions, wide‐scale sampling study biofouling communities vessels marinas was undertaken. Specifically, we surveyed over 600 boat owners sampled same hulls 25 across Mediterranean, from France Cyprus, determine which factors (i.e. characteristics, travel behaviour, home...
Abstract The disproportionately low presence of marine species in the list invasive alien (IAS) Union concern European (EU) Regulation 1143/2014 does not fully acknowledge threat they pose to EU environment. In this study, first EU‐scale Horizon Scanning (HS) focusing on was performed, aiming deliver a ranked that should be high priority for risk assessment (Article 5 IAS Regulation). Species absent from or with limited distribution waters were targeted. total, 363 initially screened HS by...
To enrich spatio-temporal information on the distribution of alien, cryptogenic, and neonative species in Mediterranean Black Sea, a collective effort by 173 marine scientists was made to provide unpublished records make them open access scientific community.Through this effort, we collected harmonized dataset 12,649 records.It includes 247 taxa, which 217 are Animalia, 25 Plantae 5 Chromista, from 23 countries surrounding Sea.Chordata most abundant taxonomic group, followed
The spaghetti bryozoan Amathia verticillata, formerly known as Zoobotryon verticillatum, was first described in 1822 from Naples, Italy, although this species already present 1807 at Cadiz, Spain. This ctenostome has long been considered a native the Mediterranean Sea but it recently suggested to be of Caribbean origin. It is most likely have introduced by vessels hull fouling. pseudo-indigenous species, i.e. non-indigenous (NIS) having perceived native, found several marinas and harbours...
