A Global Review of the Distribution, Taxonomy, and Impacts of Introduced Seaweeds (2007, methodology): “The vector for each unique introduction was recorded as reported in the literature using the following designations (Ruiz et al. 2000): unreported (no clear indication of mechanism), aquarium introductions (release of aquarium organisms into the wild), aquaculture (the intentional introduction of…”
Assessing the Risk of Introducing Exotic Species via the Live Marine Species Trade (2005, background): “Though contributions of various nonshipping mechanisms of transfer to the introduction of exotic species have been investigated over historical time scales for certain regions (Mills et al. 1993; Ruiz et al. 2000), comparative studies of currently active mechanisms are lacking.”
Development of inland lakes as hubs in an invasion network (2005, background): “The rate of introduction of NIS in coastal habitats and in the Laurentian Great Lakes has been increasing at an exponential rate for the past 200 years, reflecting intensive utilization of these habitats by humans for transportation, recreation and food resources ( Ruiz et al . 2000; Ricciardi 2001”
Habitat Distribution and Heterogeneity in Marine Invasion Dynamics: the Importance of Hard Substrate and Artificial Structure (2009, background): “The rate of detection for marine invasions has increased dramatically in North America, as reported previously (Cohen and Carlton 1998 ; Ruiz et al. 2000 ; Wonham and Carlton 2005) .”
The ecology of rafting in the marine environment. I: The floating substrata (2004, background): “These and many other similar examples (e.g., Ruiz et al. 2000) illustrate that distributional evidence for rafting as a dispersal mechanism has to be examined very carefully and, ideally, should be examined by considering alternative hypotheses.”
Alien polychaete species worldwide: current status and their impacts (2012, background): “Continued Possible origin of introduction Area of introduction MI Succ Reference Japan USA Atlantic Sh E Baker et al. (2004) Boccardiella ligerica (Ferronnière, 1898) E Atlantic USA Pacific Sh E Ruiz et al. (2000) E Atlantic USA Atlantic Sh Cr Ruiz et al. (2000) ?”
Marine alien species of South Africa — status and impacts (2005, background): “For example, in an analysis of exotic marine organisms off North America, Ruiz et al. (2000) recorded 298 species.”
The top 27 animal alien species introduced into Europe for aquaculture and related activities (2010, background): “Major pathways of introduction concern international shipping (Carlton, 1999; Ruiz et al., 2000; Gollasch, 2006), pleasure boating (Minchin et al., 2006), sport fishing (Rosenthal, 1980; Molony et al., 2003) and finally aquaculture as a business implicated in all three of these vector categories.”
Invading European Seas: Assessing pathways of introduction of marine aliens (2013, background): “invasions in European seas as well as most other seas (GISP, 2008 and references therein; Minton et al., 2005; Molnar et al., 2008; Ruiz et al., 2000).”
Alien species along the Italian coasts: an overview (2010, background): “Other regional initiatives such as those in the USA (Ruiz et al. 2000; Pedersen et al. 2003) or Australia and New Zealand (Hewitt and Martin 2001) have been promoted by Governments and have resulted in well-structured databases.”
Unintentional dispersal of aquatic invertebrates via footwear and motor vehicles in a Mediterranean wetland area (2010, background): “angling and aquarium trade, since these are regarded as principal pathways for unintentional introductions of aquatic organisms worldwide (Ruiz et al., 2000; Havel and Shurin, 2004; Bailey et al., 2005; Panov and Cáceres, 2007).”
Status, trends and the future of the marine pelagic ecosystem (2002, background): “2), and often the result of rapid and repetitive trans-oceanic or regional dispersal via transit in ballast water or by shellfish transplantation (Ribera & Boudouresque 1995; Carlton 1996; Ruiz et al. 2000).”
An integrated assessment of the introduction of lionfish (Pterois volitans/miles complex) to the western Atlantic Ocean (2003, background): “Transport in ballast water is the dominant mechanism of introduction of marine invertebrates (Ruiz et al., 2000).”
Efficacy of physical removal of a marine pest: the introduced kelp Undaria pinnatifida in a Tasmanian Marine Reserve (2005, neutral): “Globally, potentially thousands of marine species have been introduced through human mediated means (e.g., Carlton 1979; Pollard and Hutchings 1990a, b; Cohen and Carlton 1995; Ruiz et al. 1997; Cranfield et al. 1998; Coles et al. 1999; Hewitt et al. 1999; Ruiz et al. 2000; Hewitt 2002; Leppäkoski e”
Phytoplankton and bacterial assemblages in ballast water of U.S. military ships as a function of port of origin, voyage time, and ocean exchange practices (2007, background): “Long-distance dispersal of marine organisms in ship ballast waters may be increasing and remains an environmental problem because, although the oceans are continuous, coastal marine life is often geographically discontinuous (Ruiz et al., 1997, 2000).”
Marine Bioinvasions in the Mediterranean Sea – History, Distribution and Ecology (2009, background): “The two Japanese brown algae, Undaria pinnatifida and S. muticum, that arrived in the Lagoon in the early 1990s have also established large populations there ( Curiel et al. 1998; Occhipinti Ambrogi 2000, 2002).”
