• Marine litter within the European Marine Strategy Framework Directive (2013, background): “Furthermore, marine litter items can assist invasions of alien species, including of algae associated with red tides (Barnes, 2002; Barnes and Milner, 2005).”
• Dangerous hitchhikers? Evidence for potentially pathogenic Vibrio spp. on microplastic particles. (2016, background): “The drift of potentially harmful algae species, barnacles and bryozoans on plastic debris (Barnes, 2002; Masó et al., 2003) is already well documented.”
• GLOBAL MARINE BIODIVERSITY TRENDS (2006, background): “Anthropogenic debris is long lasting and slow moving; it has doubled the propagation of fauna in the subtropics and more than tripled it at high (>50◦) latitudes (112).”
• Plastics and microplastics in the oceans: From emerging pollutants to emerged threat. (2017, background): “Organisms ranging from algae to reptiles (i.e. iguanas) have been observed to raft on floating objects, but the most common species include barnacles, polychaete worms, bryozoans, hydroids and mollusks (Barnes, 2002).”
• The size, mass, and composition of plastic debris in the western North Atlantic Ocean. (2010, background): “They provide substrate for the transport of sessile organisms (Minchin, 1996; Barnes, 2002; Gregory, 2009) and are potent carriers of persistent organic pollutants due to their hydro-”
• A phylogeographical study of the toxic benthic dinoflagellate genus Ostreopsis Schmidt (2010, background): “The dispersal dynamics of benthic protists throughout large basins may depend on passive transport of vegetative and/or resting cysts on floating and drifting objects, such as plastics or wood (Barnes, 2002; Masó et al., 2003), or in the ballast water of ships (Hallegraeff, 1993).”

• Detached aquaculture buoys in the SE Pacific: Potential dispersal vehicles for associated organisms (2009, background): “The explosive increase of floating plastic debris in the oceans has raised concerns due to unprecedented levels of rafting opportunities for many organisms that are likely to be dispersed throughout the world’s oceans (Winston et al. 1997, Barnes 2002).”
• Incursion and excursion of Antarctic biota: past, present and future (2006, positive): “…rafting on algae, logs, pumice and other floating natural objects (hydrochory) is also widely known, with many terrestrial, freshwater and marine representatives using eggs, larvae or adults as the dispersing stage (Darlington, 1938; Forster, 1955; Winston, 1982; Thornton, 1996; Barnes, 2002).”
