Uncertainties and validation of alien species catalogues: The Mediterranean as an example (2017, background): “Despite the aforementioned problems, several AS lists have been published in the past from the Mediterranean Sea as a whole, among which Galil (2008, 2009), Nunes et al. (2014), and Zenetos et al. (2005, 2008; 2010; 2012) are noteworthy.”
Alien species along the Italian coasts: an overview (2010, background): “%) are the main means of introduction (Galil 2009).”
A Census of Marine Biodiversity Knowledge, Resources, and Future Challenges (2010, background): “This number may be as high as 1,000 species if unicellular aliens and foraminiferans are included [35,36].”
Marine invasion genetics: from spatio-temporal patterns to evolutionary outcomes (2014, background): “The Mediterranean Sea is the most altered and invaded of all European seas, with recent estimates of the number of introduced species ranging between 500 and 1,000 species (Streftaris et al. 2005; Streftaris and Zenetos 2006; Galil 2009; Coll et al. 2010; Zenetos et al. 2012).”
The Biodiversity of the Mediterranean Sea: Estimates, Patterns, and Threats (2010, background): “The Mediterranean is highly susceptible to ship-transported bioinvasions: one-fifth of the alien species recorded in the Mediterranean were first introduced by vessels [216].”

Introduction trends and pathways (2012, background): “According to Rilov & Galil (2009) this is the main cause of the apparent acceleration in the rate of Lessepsian invasion over the last five decades.”

First record of Mnemiopsis leidyi A. Agassiz, 1865 (Ctenophora; Lobata; Mnemiidae) off the Mediterranean coast of Israel (2009, background): “The Mediterranean Sea is highly susceptible to ship-transported bioinvasions: one fifth of the alien species recorded in the Mediterranean have been primarily introduced by vessels (Galil 2009).”
