Systematics of the Gracilariales (Rhodophyta) including new subfamilies, tribes, subgenera, and two new genera, Agarophyton gen. nov. and Crassa gen. nov. (2018, background): “The success of G. vermiculophylla as an invasive species and known habitat modifier have raised ecological and environmental concerns (Wallentinus & Nyberg 2007; Williams & Smith 2007).”
Marine range shifts and species introductions: comparative spread rates and community impacts (2010, background): “The information gap on Global Ecology and Biogeography, 19, 303–316, © 2010 Blackwell Publishing Ltd310 multiple range shifts also exists for multiple introductions (Grosholz, 2005; Williams, 2007; Williams & Grosholz, 2008).”
The Invasive Species Challenge in Estuarine and Coastal Environments: Marrying Management and Science (2008, background): “Taxa with a higher than average propensity for successful establishment in nonnative habitats can be pinpointed (Daehler 1998; Lockwood 1999; Williams and Smith 2007).”
A framework to study the context-dependent impacts of marine invasions (2011, background): “A few reviews have also focused on impacts associated with specific taxonomic groups such as oysters (Ruesink et al., 2005; Padilla, 2010) or seaweeds (Schaffelke and Hewitt, 2007; Williams and Smith, 2007; Thomsen et al., 2009).”
Coral Reef Algae (2011, background): “global assessment of successful invasions across functional forms (Williams and Smith 2007), invasion success ranked as corticated macroalgae = filamentous > corticated foliose > leathery > siphonaceous > crustose.”
Production and properties of agar from the invasive marine alga, Gracilaria vermiculophylla (Gracilariales, Rhodophyta) (2010, background): “An increasing number of marine macroalgae has been reported to be invasive and threaten the ecological balance of coastal ecosystems (Schaffelke et al. 2006; Schaffelke and Hewitt 2007; Williams and Smith 2007).”
A review of the alien and expansive species of freshwater cyanobacteria and algae in the Czech Republic (2010, background): “Most of our knowledge about invasions by non-native algae concerns marine macroscopic algae (Boudouresque and Verlaque 2002; Piazzi et al. 2007; Williams and Smith 2007).”
Ecological impacts of invading seaweeds: a meta‐analysis of their effects at different trophic levels (2015, background): “Anthropogenic activities have greatly facilitated the global spread of seaweeds, causing more than 400 cases of introduction to non-native locations world-wide (Williams & Smith, 2007).”
Effects of the invasive seagrass Halophila stipulacea on the native seagrass, Syringodium filiforme, and associated fish and epibiota communities in the Eastern Caribbean. (2012, background): “…aquatic environments are experiencing an extraorinary transformation via the pervasive spread of non-indigenous pecies due to human activities (Mooney and Cleland, 2001; Naylor t al., 2001; Byrnes et al., 2007; Williams and Smith, 2007), many f which have negative impacts on ecological communities.”
