Regression of Mediterranean seagrasses caused by natural processes and anthropogenic disturbances and stress: a critical review (2009, background): “(Tunisia), the comparison of Zaouali’s map (1993) with the baseline-map of Le Danois (1925) would appear to indi-”
Marine range shifts and species introductions: comparative spread rates and community impacts (2010, background): “As for introductions (Ruiz et al., 1999; Williams, 2007; Williams & Smith, 2007), we found examples of shifters spreading into areas with higher levels of disturbance, predatory release, competitive release and prey density (Lodge, 1993; Vermeij, 1996; Colautti et al., 2004).”
The Tropical Seagrass Halophila stipulacea: Reviewing What We Know From Its Native and Invasive Habitats, Alongside Identifying Knowledge Gaps (2020, result): “…and Zenetos, 2006), these observations suggest, in fact, a relatively limited “invasion success” in this region, as can also be inferred from the limited number of studies reporting competitive displacement of native seagrasses by the alien H. stipulacea (Williams, 2007; Tsiamis et al., 2010).”
The Invasive Species Challenge in Estuarine and Coastal Environments: Marrying Management and Science (2008, background): “Recent reviews provide evidence that the majority of introduced marine and estuarine species that have been studied rigorously have quantifiable negative effects on native species, including protected ones such as seagrasses (Grosholz 2002; Williams 2007; Williams and Smith 2007).”
Extinction risk assessment of the world’s seagrass species (2011, background): “introduced species (Williams 2007) that compete for space and resources (Heck et al.”
Accelerating loss of seagrasses across the globe threatens coastal ecosystems (2009, background): “In addition, the indirect effects of aquaculture and invasive species have been observed to affect seagrasses (25, 26).”
Experimental evidence for positive effects of invasive seaweed on native invertebrates via habitat-formation in a seagrass bed. (2010, background): “Thus, this study provides experimental evidence of positive effect of invasive seaweed in seagrass bed (Rodriguez 2006; Williams 2007; Thomsen et al. 2009b).”
Effects of the invasive seagrass Halophila stipulacea on the native seagrass, Syringodium filiforme, and associated fish and epibiota communities in the Eastern Caribbean. (2012, background): “…aquatic environments are experiencing an extraorinary transformation via the pervasive spread of non-indigenous pecies due to human activities (Mooney and Cleland, 2001; Naylor t al., 2001; Byrnes et al., 2007; Williams and Smith, 2007), many f which have negative impacts on ecological communities.”
