Influence of benthic macrofauna community shifts on ecosystem functioning in shallow estuaries (2014, background): “However, the timing of A. marina recruitment may be triggered by markedly higher salinity than normal (12–18 vs. 10–15) in the inner part of the estuary during 2003 owing to low precipitation and excessive inflow of seawater into the Baltic Sea that year (Fyns Amt, 2004; Blank et al., 2008).”
Eurythoe complanata (Polychaeta: Amphinomidae), the ‘cosmopolitan’ fireworm, consists of at least three cryptic species (2010, background): “Another possibility is the anthropogenic transport of larvae by ship ballast water (Bastrop and Blank 2006; Blank et al. 2007 ) or of adults through hull fouling (Farrapeira et al. 2007).”
Dynamics of biological invasions and pathways over time: a case study of a temperate coastal sea (2017, background): “The application of molecular methods might help to solve at least some of the current uncertainties, for instance to clarify introductions of the three polychaete species of the genus Marenzelleria: M. neglecta, M. arctia and M. viridis (Blank et al. 2008).”
