Alien species in the Mediterranean Sea—which, when, where, why? (2008, background): “…forming self-sustaining populations (i.e. the ornate wrasse, Thalassoma pavo Linnaeus, 1758, and the parrotfish Spariosoma cretense (Linnaeus, 1758)), and the mass invasion of thermophilic alien biota (Francour et al., 1994; Dulcic & Lipej, 1997; Galil, 2000; Bombace, 2001; Bello et al., 2004).”

Biotic homogenization: a new research agenda for conservation biogeography (2006, background): “Construction of the Suez Canal and the opening of the St Lawrence Seaway are two striking examples of where humans have facilitated the movement of hundreds of marine species (Galil, 2000; Ricciardi & MacIsaac, 2000).”
Prolonged Lag in Population Outbreak of an Invasive Mussel: A Shifting-Habitat Model (2004, background): “Since the opening of the Canal in 1869, which removed a geographical barrier between the 2 seas, more than 200 species of various taxonomic groups, including numerous mollusks, have migrated from the Red Sea into the Mediterranean (e.g. Safriel and Ritte 1986; Spanier and Galil 1991; Barash and Deni”
Marine Bioinvasions in the Mediterranean Sea – History, Distribution and Ecology (2009, background): “Direct transport of species from the Red Sea through the Suez Canal (in the canal’s water) is the main vector/corridor for introductions into the Mediterranean Sea, shipping (ballast water and fouling) being second in importance (Galil and Zenetos 2002; Galil 2000).”
