• Alien species in British brackish and marine waters (2013, background): “Smaller numbers of species are believed to have originated from the Mediterranean, Ponto-Caspian, and Polar seas, and are grouped within the ‘other’ category (Figure 4).”
• Gateways to alien invasions in the European seas (2014, background): “The opening of the Suez Canal in 1869 and its continuous enlargement has since then allowed for the progressive introduction of many species of Indo-Pacific origin into the Mediterranean Sea (called Lessepsian immigrants) (Por 1978; Galil 2006; Rilov and Galil 2009; Katsanevakis et al. 2013a).”
• Revealing the scale of marine bioinvasions in developing regions: a South African re-assessment (2011, background): “To date, these have been conducted at both local and pan-regional scales for marine species (Carlton 2003; Castilla and Neill 2009; Fofonoff et al. 2009; Hayden et al. 2009; Rilov and Galil 2009; Sliwa et al. 2009; Wonham and Carlton 2005).”
• Update of alien fauna and new records from Tunisian marine waters (2015, background): “Indeed, Rilov & Galil (2009) recognized the Suez Canal and its lagoons as important hotspots of invasion in the western Mediterranean.”
• Alien species in the Mediterranean Sea by 2012. A contribution to the application of European Union’s Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD). Part 2. Introduction trends and pathways (2012, background): “According to Rilov & Galil (2009) this is the main cause of the apparent acceleration in the rate of Lessepsian invasion over the last five decades.”
