Invasive alien Crustacea: dispersal, establishment, impact and control (2011, background): “The three most important vectors for their introduction are ship transport as ballast water (Gollasch 2006; Ricciardi 2006), dispersal through canal systems (Galil 2008) and intentional introductions for aquaculture and stocking purposes (Savini et al.”
Marine fish diversity: history of knowledge and discovery (Pisces) (2010, background): “…the Suez Canal is southbound , but only a few Mediterranean fish species ( perhaps 15 ) migrated to the Red Sea , while a larger number of species ( about 80 ) occurring in the Red Sea immigrated against the current to the Mediterranean Sea ( Golani 1998 , Galil 2008 , Mavruk & Avsar 2008 ) .”
Alien species along the Italian coasts: an overview (2010, background): “…Mediterranean Sea have been published (Zibrowius 1992; Ribera Siguan 2002; Cormaci et al. 2004; Streftaris et al. 2005; Zenetos et al. 2005, 2008; Galil 2008, 2009); discrepancies might arise mainly from taxonomic inconsistency and from the inclusion of species which have arrived by natural…”
Turkey's globally important biodiversity in crisis (2011, background): “The majority of recorded marine exotics have Indo-Pacific origins and were introduced to the Eastern Mediterranean via the Suez Canal (Galil, 2008).”
Uncertainties and validation of alien species catalogues: The Mediterranean as an example (2017, background): “Despite the aforementioned problems, several AS lists have been published in the past from the Mediterranean Sea as a whole, among which Galil (2008, 2009), Nunes et al. (2014), and Zenetos et al. (2005, 2008; 2010; 2012) are noteworthy.”
The Biodiversity of the Mediterranean Sea: Estimates, Patterns, and Threats (2010, background): “Data are entirely absent for many of the small members of invertebrate phyla [210].”
The top 27 animal alien species introduced into Europe for aquaculture and related activities (2010, background): “A common statement is that species globalization and human mediated xenodiversity (sensu Leppäkoski et al., 2002) are caused by the new millennium economic policy (Leppäkoski and Olenin, 2000; Carlton, 2002; Occhipinti-Ambrogi and Savini, 2003; Galil, 2008).”
