• Invasion of alien macroalgae in different Mediterranean habitats (2009, background): “In several Mediterranean coastal areas, introduced macroalgae constitute the dominant organisms of benthic assemblages (Verlaque and Fritayre 1994; Piazzi and Cinelli 2003) and represent a serious threat for native assemblages of many habitats (Verlaque 1994; Balata et al. 2004).”
• Marine Bioinvasions in the Mediterranean Sea – History, Distribution and Ecology (2009, background): “This meeting naturally facilitated comparative experimental studies on their ecological effects and on their inter-specific interactions ( Balata et al. 2004; Ceccherelli et al. 2002; Piazzi et al. 2001a,b, 2003; Piazzi and Ceccherelli 2002).”
• Impacts of introduced seaweeds (2007, background): “Colonization by either species reduced diversity and abundance of native macroalgae compared with uninvaded areas, with C. racemosa var. cylindracea having the most pronounced effect (Balata et al. 2004).”
• A Global Review of the Distribution, Taxonomy, and Impacts of Introduced Seaweeds (2007, background): “…(Continued ) Introduced Seaweed(s) Effecta Response variableb Location (citation) – Encrusting and erect algae cover; total algal cover Mediterranean (Balata et al. 2004) + Epiphyte biomass; seagrass primary productionc Mediterranean (Dumay et al. 2002a) Seagrass leaf longevity 0 Seagrass areal…”
• Alien species along the Italian coasts: an overview (2010, background): “A good deal of research has been devoted to investigating the interactions of invasive Caulerpa spp. with the native vegetation (Ceccherelli et al. 2002; Piazzi et al. 2003, 2007; Balata et al. 2004), including long term effects after removal (Piazzi and Ceccherelli 2006).”
• Competitive interactions between the invasive green alga Codium fragile ssp. tomentosoides and native canopy-forming seaweeds in Nova Scotia (Canada) (2006, background): “…green algae Caulerpa taxifolia and C. racemosa in the Mediterranean Sea and southeastern Australia (Meinesz & Hesse 1991, Verlaque & Fritayre 1994, Balata et al. 2004, York et al. 2006), the Asian seagrass Zostera japonica along the western coast of the USA (Posey 1988), the Asian kelp Undaria…”
• Seasonal changes of the introduced Caulerpa racemosa var. cylindracea (Caulerpales, Chlorophyta) at the northwest limit of its Mediterranean range (2005, background): “racemosa (Hadjichristophorou et al., 1997; Argyrou et al., 1999; Piazzi et al., 2001b; Balata et al., 2004).”
• Alien Marine Species in the Mediterranean - the 100 'Worst Invasives' and their Impact (2006, unknown): “Experimental work (PIAZZI et al., 2001a; PIAZZI & CINELLI, 2003; BALATA et al., 2004) has shown that C. racemosa var . cy-lindracea invasions have a great impact on Mediterranean macroalgal assemblages on dead mattes of Posidonia oceanica and rocky bottoms, with greater impact on the former.”
