Aim  We examine the regional dominance of California as a beachhead for marine biological invasions in western North America and assess the relative contribution of different transfer mechanisms to invasions over time.

• Managing Multiple Vectors for Marine Invasions in an Increasingly Connected World (2013, background): “The relative importance of maritime vectors has been assessed most often by tallying the number of species attributed to vectors, and these vectors are often defined in different ways (Bax et al. 2003, Ruiz et al. 2011).”
• Anthropogenic structures and the infiltration of natural benthos by invasive ascidians (2012, background): “For instance, in the 45 years since Botrylloides violaceus was first recorded on the west coast of North America (in Santa Barbara in 1966; Ruiz et al. 2011), its known invasive range has extended south to Ensenada, Mexico, and north to Southeastern Alaska (Lambert & Sanamyan 2001).”
