The presence of the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi in the Oslofjorden and considerations on the initial invasion pathways to the North and Baltic Seas (2007, background): “The species was likely transported in ballast water through the VolgaDon Channel (Kideys 2002, Bilio and Niermann 2004).”
A coupled plankton-anchovy population dynamics model assessing nonlinear controls of anchovy and gelatinous biomass in the Black Sea (2008, background): “The Black Sea ecosystem has been subject to major structural transformations since the late 1960s (Zaitsev 1992, Vinogradov et al. 1996, Zaitsev & Mamaev 1997, Kideys 2002, Sorokin 2002, Daskalov 2003, Bilio & Niermann 2004, Oguz & Gilbert 2007).”
Invasion dynamics of the alien ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi and its impact on anchovy collapse in the Black Sea (2008, background): “The role of climate-induced changes as an additional control on the shift process, however, attracted less attention (Niermann, 2004; Oguz, 2005).”
Pushing the limits in marine species distribution modelling: lessons from the land present challenges and opportunities (2011, background): “There are very few published examples of competitive exclusion in pelagic habitats (Bilio & Niermann, 2004).”
The first occurrence of the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi in the North Sea (2007, background): “leidyi in the Black Sea and Caspian Sea coincided with a sharp decline in the yields of Wsheries (Bilio and Niermann 2004).”
The ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi A. Agassiz 1865 in coastal waters of the Netherlands: an unrecognized invasion? (2006, background): “The chronological history of the Mnemiopsis invasion has been covered well elsewhere (GESAMP 1997, Kideys 2002, Bilio and Niermann 2004), but we will present a short summary here.”
Overfishing of top predators eroded the resilience of the Black Sea system regardless of the climate and anthropogenic conditions (2011, background): “More recently other factors, such as hydroclimate (Daskalov, 2003; Oguz et al., 2006), predation effects, and fishing (Bilio & Niermann, 2004; Daskalov et al., 2007) have been recognized as contributing to the changes.”
Changes in biodiversity of phytoplankton, zooplankton, fishes and macrobenthos in the Southern Caspian Sea after the invasion of the ctenophore Mnemiopsis Leidyi (2010, background): “Overfishing, eutrophication and global warming have also been suggested as triggering factors for explosions in both native and introduced waters (Mills 2001; Lynam et al. 2006; Bilio and Niermann 2004; Purcell 2005).”
Climate effects on formation of jellyfish and ctenophore blooms: a review (2005, background): “…changes in the zooplankton community structure, and over-fishing could have contributed to the collapse of the zooplanktivorous anchovy stock, which probably enabled the ctenophore invader to exploit available zooplankton (e.g. Shiganova, 1998; Purcell et al., 2001; Bilio & Niermann, 2004).”
