• Raising the flag on marine alien fouling species (2017, background): “Many yachts travel intra-regionally amongst marinas and this poses a risk for transferring species within a region (Wasson et al. 2001; Clarke Murray 2012).”
• Rapid Assessment Survey for Exotic Organisms in Southern California Bays and Harbors, and Abundance in Port and Non-port Areas (2005, background): “Over the past decade, several literature reviews and field surveys have documented the number and extent of exotic species in different marine and estuarine regions, and the role of commercial shipping in transporting exotic species to new regions in ballast tanks and as hull fouling (Cohen and Carl”
• Ecology and natural history of the protochordates (2005, background): “Once the long-distance transport of a species has resulted in successful colonization of a new harbor, the species almost always seems to spread quickly to neighboring harbors probably on hull-fouled small craft (Wasson et al. 2001; Lambert and Lambert 1998, 2003; Brunetti and Mastrototaro 2004).”
• The Role of Propagule Pressure in Invasion Success (2009, background): “In regions such as Australia, North America and Hawaii, it is estimated that between 55% and 85% of recorded marine NIS are fouling organisms introduced via fouling on vessel hulls or other floating structures (Wasson et al. 2001; Eldredge and Carlton 2002; Hewitt 2002), yet hull fouling remains lar”
• Discovery of the first known benthic invasive species in the Southern Ocean: the North Atlantic spider crab Hyas araneus found in the Antarctic Peninsula (2004, background): “…aquaculture industries (Quayle 1964, Hanna 1966, Aron & Smith 1971, Jones 1972, Carlton 1975, Por 1978, 1990, Bourne 1979, Forster & Willan 1979, Andrews 1980, Zibrowius 1983, 1992, Sindermann 1991, Ryan & Moloney 1993, Ruiz et al. 2000, Wasson et al. 2001, Wonham et al. 2001, Barnes 2002a, 2002b).”
• Links between estuarine condition and spatial distributions of marine invaders (2009, background): “, 2005) and have also been found in estuaries that lack commercial shipping (Wasson et al., 2001; Wyatt et al., 2005).”
• The colonial ascidian Didemnum sp. A: Current distribution, basic biology and potential threat to marine communities of the northeast and west coasts of North America (2007, background): “Many ascidians have experienced recent range expansions due to human- mediated transportation, such as the unintentional transport of ascidians on the hulls of recreational and commercial ships (Lambert and Lambert 1998, 2003; Wasson et al. 2001).”
• Habitat Differences in Marine Invasions of Central California (2005, background): “We also categorized each species as native, exotic, or cryptogenic (origin uncertain; Carlton 1996), mostly following the designations of Wasson et al. (2001), which in turn mostly followed those of Cohen and Carlton (1995) and Ruiz et al. (1999).”
• Four arguments why so many alien species settle into estuaries, with special reference to the German river Elbe (2006, background): “Further, due to their heavy exposure to interregional transports, estuaries with intensive international shipping have become important sources for the intraregional spreading of alien species (cf. Wasson et al. 2001).”
• Marine invasion history and vector analysis of California: a hotspot for western North America (2011, background): “This conclusion is further supported by recent standardized field surveys, which detected an increasing number of non-native species from Alaska to California (Ruiz et al., unpublished data; see also Ruiz & Hewitt, 2009).”
• BIVALVE AQUACULTURE AND EXOTIC SPECIES: A REVIEW OF ECOLOGICAL CONSIDERATIONS AND MANAGEMENT ISSUES (2007, background): “They (Minchin & Rosenthal 2002) give an international (United States to Ireland) example but the same issues exist at regional scales where bivalves are transported among sites for grow-out or relaying (Wasson et al. 2001).”
• Marine boating habits and the potential for spread of invasive species in the Gulf of St. Lawrence (2009, unknown): “In Elkhorn Slough, a California estuary distant from primary sites of shipborne introductions, 70% of the exotic species may have been introduced by hull fouling of recreational or fishing boats (Wasson et al. 2001).”
• Phylogeography of the widespread marine invader Microcosmus squamiger (Ascidiacea) reveals high genetic diversity of introduced populations and non‐independent colonizations (2008, background): “This points to a complex history of introduction events with serial introductions from one colonized population to another (Pascual et al., 2007), which is consistent with the scenario of ship dispersal coupled with subsequent transport by small vessels (Wasson et al., 2001).”
• Adventures of a sea squirt sleuth: unraveling the identity of Didemnum vexillum, a global ascidian invader (2009, background): “vexillum populations into many marinas in Washington (Lambert 2006) is probably due to recreational boat traffic, which may be a highly significant vector once a species has made a successful transoceanic transplantation (Wasson et al. 2001; Minchin et al. 2006).”
• Recent advances in the study of long‐distance dispersal of aquatic invertebrates via birds (2005, background): “Once established, they are generally assumed to disperse using their own active mechanisms, via ocean or river currents, or via intraregional boat traffic (Wasson et al., 2001).”
• Nonindigenous biota on artificial structures: could habitat creation facilitate biological invasions? (2007, background): “In comparison, little is known about the diVusion or small-scale spread of marine NIS after they have invaded a region (Grosholz and Ruiz 1996), despite this being a critical component of marine invasions ( Wasson et al. 2001 ).”
• Dispersal of invasive and native brine shrimps Artemia (Anostraca) via waterbirds (2005, background): “Once established, they are generally assumed to disperse using their own active mechanisms via ocean or river currents or via intraregional boat traffic (Wasson et al. 2001).”
• Alien species and other notable records from a rapid assessment survey of marinas on the south coast of England (2006, background): “highly relevant for detecting newly arrived non-native species amongst the sessile biota, and may act as stepping-stones during secondary spread (Glasby & Connell, 1999; Connell, 2001; Wasson et al., 2001; Lambert & Lambert, 2003; Bulleri & Airoldi, 2005).”
