• Recreational boats as potential vectors of marine organisms at an invasion hotspot (2010, background): “…(2) a large proportion of these NIS are biofouling organisms associated with hard substrata; and (3) over 150 000 boats are registered to owners in counties bordering the shores of the Bay (Cohen & Carlton 1998, California State University Sacramento Foundation 2002, Ruiz et al. 2009).”
• Marine invasions on a subtropical island: Fouling studies and new records in a recent marina on Madeira Island (Eastern Atlantic Ocean) (2013, background): “Biological invasions of marine non-indigenous species (NIS) are frequent in coastal communities, and the rate of documented invasions has significantly increased in the last two decades (Ruiz et al. 2009).”
• Marine invasion history and vector analysis of California: a hotspot for western North America (2011, background): “In marine environments, most invasions are reported in bays and estuaries, due in part to the magnitude of humanmediated species transfer that is concentrated near ports and coastal population centres (Wasson et al., 2005; Preisler et al., 2009; Ruiz et al., 2009).”
• Effects of ocean sprawl on ecological connectivity: impacts and solutions (2017, methodology): “Thesestudies have predominantly used surveys of communities on arti fi cial structures, in order to infer range expansions (e.g. Tyrrell and Byers, 2007; Ruiz et al., 2009; Sheehy and Vik, 2010; Mineur et al., 2012; Airoldi et al., 2015; de Mesel et al., 2015).”
• Anthropogenic structures and the infiltration of natural benthos by invasive ascidians (2012, background): “…substrata dominate (e.g. open rocky coasts), far fewer NIS have been recorded on natural substrata than within sheltered estuaries and bays that often have a greater number of man-made habitats and a greater amount of NIS vector activity (Wasson et al. 2005; Priesler et al. 2009; Ruiz et al. 2009).”
• Predation contributes to invasion resistance of benthic communities against the non-indigenous tunicate Ciona intestinalis (2011, background): “Assessments of invasion risks around the world also report that more introduced species are found on artificial hard substrata in estuaries and bays than on open coasts (Wasson et al. 2005; Ruiz et al. 2009).”
• Concepts for biocontrol in marine environments: is there a way forward? (2015, unknown): “The latter application is of particular relevance to biofouling in marine transport hubs such as ports and marinas, whose extensive artificial habitats provided by structures such as piles and floating pontoons can be a significant reservoir for marine pests (Glasby et al. 2007; Ruiz et al. 2009).”
