- Plastic Degradation and Its Environmental Implications with Special Reference to Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (2012, background): “as far south as the Southern Ocean, all the way north to the high Arctic [20].”
- Plastic pollution in the marine environment (2020, background): “The demersal environment is contaminated with microplastic pollution in Spanish coastal waters (Bellas et al., 2016), and the presence of microplastics in the estuarine ecosystem was confirmed by the study of Abbasi (2018).”
- Environmental implications of plastic debris in marine settings—entanglement, ingestion, smothering, hangers-on, hitch-hiking and alien invasions (2009, neutral): “There are suggestions that in later years plastic substrates could have been implicated in this dispersal (Barnes & Milner 2005).”
- Detached aquaculture buoys in the SE Pacific: Potential dispersal vehicles for associated organisms (2009, background): “Rafting on plastics has been identified as a potential dispersal mechanism for a wide variety of organisms, including bryozoans (Winston 1982, Stevens et al. 1996), hydrozoans (Barnes 2002) and barnacles (Barnes & Milner 2005).”
- Marine Litter Distribution and Density in European Seas, from the Shelves to Deep Basins (2014, neutral): “bryozoans, barnacles) to new habitats [17,18].”
- Plastic contamination in the decapod crustacean Nephrops norvegicus (Linnaeus, 1758). (2011, background): “32 buoyant (Barnes and Milner, 2005) and remain so until they accumulate too much epifauna and sink.”
- Marine litter within the European Marine Strategy Framework Directive (2013, background): “Furthermore, marine litter items can assist invasions of alien species, including of algae associated with red tides (Barnes, 2002; Barnes and Milner, 2005).”
- Marine litter as habitat and dispersal vector (2015, background): “Previous studies have reported over 1200 taxa that are associated with natural and anthropogenic flotsam (Thiel and Gutow 2005a) and the extreme localities that rafting organisms can reach when transported over large distances by currents and wind (Barnes and Fraser 2003; Barnes and Milner 2005).”
- The ecology of rafting in the marine environment. III. Biogeographical and evolutionary consequences (2006, background): “For the eastern North Atlantic, Panova & Johannesson (2004) reported divergent genetic adaptations between local populations of L. saxatilis from the lower and upper shore, which are in accordance with the respective selective pressures in either zone.”
- Microplastics in fisheries and aquaculture (2017, background): “…and ingestion of marine litter by biota, and the introduction of non-native species, mainly microorganisms, seaweeds and invertebrates, through rafting on floating litter (Barnes and Milner, 2005; Calder et al., 2014; Kiessling, Gutow and Thiel, 2015; Kühn, Rebolledo and van Franeker, 2015).”
- Plastics and microplastics in the oceans: From emerging pollutants to emerged threat. (2017, background): “The huge amount of plastic debris into the ocean has massively increased the opportunity for the dispersal of marine organisms through rafting material, representing a potential mechanism for invasions by alien species in new habitats (Barnes, 2002; Barnes and Milner, 2005; Andrady, 2011).”
