• Seasonal changes of the introduced Caulerpa racemosa var. cylindracea (Caulerpales, Chlorophyta) at the northwest limit of its Mediterranean range (2005, background): “…racemosa (Forsskål) J. Agardh var. cylindracea (Sonder) Verlaque, Huisman et Boudouresque (hereafter: C. racemosa) throughout the Mediterranean Sea since 1990, and especially since 1993–1994 along the French coast, highlights the high development capacity of the alga (Verlaque et al., 2003, 2004).”
• Taking stock: inventory of alien species in the Mediterranean sea (2009, background): “The rapid spread and conspicuous impacts of a pair of invasive chlorophytes—Caulerpa taxifolia (Vahl) C. Agardh (A.K.A. ‘‘the killer Alga’’, Meinesz et al. 2002) and Caulerpa racemosa var. cylindracea (Sonder) Verlaque, Huisman and Boudouresque (Verlaque et al. 2004)—have drawn the attention of scie”
• Alien Marine Species in the Mediterranean - the 100 'Worst Invasives' and their Impact (2006, unknown): “…growing on all kind of substrata, both in polluted and unpolluted areas, between 0 and 70 m depth, demonstrating an excessive rate of proliferation (VERLAQUE et al. , 2000, 2003, 2004; PIAZZI et al., 2001a, 2005; BOUDOURESQUE & VERLAQUE, 2002b; MEINESZ et al. , 2003; RUITTON et al. , 2005).”

(2009, background): “The spread of the green macroalgae, Caulerpa racemosa, invading the Mediterranean Sea from the Red Sea, and Caulerpa taxifolia, originally from Australia and accidentally released into the Mediterranean Sea, are considered to represent detrimental invasive events in the Mediterranean Sea, as widely ”
• Introduced Macroalgae – a Growing Concern (2006, background): “These studies are, however, limited to a few countries or regions, i.e. Australia, Europe, New Zealand and the United States (e.g. Pollard & Hutchings, 1990; Cohen & Carlton, 1995; Cranfield et al., 1998; Coles et al., 1999; Ruiz et al., 2000; Hewitt et al., 2004).”
