Slow, but steady: dispersal of freshwater molluscs (2011, background): “Only a few reviews on dispersal include molluscs; even then, molluscs are treated only marginally (e.g., Bilton et al. 2001; Bohonak and Jenkins 2003; Holeck et al. 2004).”
Growth and extremely high production of the non-indigenous invasive species Corbicula fluminea (Muller, 1774): Possible implications for ecosystem functioning (2008, background): “The Asian clam Corbicula fluminea (Müller, 1774) is recognized as one of the most important NIS in aquatic ecosystems (McMahon, 2002; Sousa et al., 2008b).”
North American History of Two Invasive Plant Species: Phytogeographic Distribution, Dispersal Vectors, and Multiple Introductions (2006, unknown): “An additional vector of new introductions is via ship ballast, as propagules stow away in ballast holds from ports across the globe (Holeck et al. 2004).”
Fifty years later: trophic ecology and niche overlap of a native and non-indigenous fish species in the western basin of Lake Erie (2013, background): “The Laurentian Great Lakes have experienced over 180 successful NIS introductions (Holeck et al. 2004), compromising the structure and biological integrity of their food webs (Mills et al.”
A management framework for preventing the secondary spread of aquatic invasive species (2008, background): “The number of nonnative species that have invaded the Great Lakes now exceeds 180, and new invaders continue to establish, primarily as the result of ballast water discharge from transoceanic vessels (Holeck et al. 2004; Ricciardi 2006).”
Links between estuarine condition and spatial distributions of marine invaders (2009, background): “To effectively manage the invasion threat, managers need to be able to identify vulnerable areas where NIS will dominate (e.g. ‘invasion hotspots’ Holeck et al., 2004) and where they may act as a source of propagules to neighbouring regions.”
