Potential impacts of climate change and greenhouse gas emissions on Mediterranean marine ecosystems and cetaceans (2008, background): “The Mediterranean Sea is one of the most impacted seas of the world in terms of biological invasion (Galil, 2007) and climate change is likely to facilitate invasion of thermophilic alien species causing irreversible impacts on native populations (Carlton, 2000; Stachowicz et al., 2002b; Gritti et a”
Turkey's globally important biodiversity in crisis (2011, background): “…some species resprouting quickly and others having fire-dependent germination (Türkmen and Düzenli, 2005; Paula et al., 2009; Tavs anoğlu and Gürkan, 2009), increasingly frequent and intense fires due to climate change may promote invasions in Mediterranean basin ecosystems (Gritti et al., 2006).”
International Code of Area Nomenclature (2008, background): “…Sea and the Sea of Azov)’ (Zotier et al., 1999: 279); to the ‘main islands of the Mediterranean Basin: Mallorca, Corsica, Sardinia, Crete and Lesvos’ (Gritti et al., 2006: 145), to ‘The Mediterranean region, including North Africa, the western Mediterranean, Balkans–Anatolia, Middle East,…”
Relationship between the presence of House Sparrows (Passer domesticus) and Neotropical bird community structure and diversity (2009, background): “Our results are consistent with patterns of diversity generated by other invasive species of different taxa, such as plants, invertebrates, and fishes (Vitousek et al. 1997; Gritti et al. 2006).”
Mediterranean island biodiversity and climate change: the last 10,000 years and the future (2016, background): “…of climate change alone is likely to be unimportant for biological invasions in Mediterranean island ecosystems, but more of importance in interaction with CO2, with initial ecosystem composition and local environmental conditions being the principal determinants for invasion (Gritti et al. 2006).”
Where will species go? Incorporating new advances in climate modelling into projections of species distributions (2007, methodology): “Bioclimatic models have been used to assess potential climate-induced range shifts (Araújo et al., 2006; Gritti et al., 2006), to estimate extinction rates (Williams et al.”
Five Potential Consequences of Climate Change for Invasive Species (2008, background): “The Interaction of Climate Change and Invasion Because of its pervasiveness and potential effect on fundamental biological processes, climate change will interact with other existing stressors to affect the distribution, spread, abundance, and impact of invasive species (Gritti et al. 2006).”
Do non‐native species invasions lead to biotic homogenization at small scales? The similarity and functional diversity of habitats compared for alien and native components of Mediterranean floras (2008, background): “Not only is the native flora very diverse, but there is a high rate of local and regional endemism and many species are already threatened by environmental degradation and climate change (Blondel & Aronson, 1999; Gritti et al ., 2006).”
