Anthropogenic structures and the infiltration of natural benthos by invasive ascidians (2012, background): “…to re-examine these results using subtidal benthic communities found on natural substrata in rocky reefs or to experimentally introduce NIS propagules to rocky reef communities to assess their fate (similar to experiments conducted by Clark & Johnston 2005, 2009, 2011, but in a natural setting).”
Sydney Harbour: a review of anthropogenic impacts on the biodiversity and ecosystem function of one of the world’s largest natural harbours (2015, background): “Changes in natural environmental variables such as the increased frequency and intensity of storms will likely lead to greater disturbance regimes that can facilitate NIS recruitment (Clark and Johnston 2009).”
Predation contributes to invasion resistance of benthic communities against the non-indigenous tunicate Ciona intestinalis (2011, background): “123 2007; Clark and Johnston 2009 ). Our model integrates the selection regime modification (Byers 2002b) suggesting that disturbance events (e.g., overfishing, pollution or periodic variation in climate conditions such as El Nin ˜o Southern Oscillation, ENSO), which may reduce natural predation an”
