Alien species and other notable records from a rapid assessment survey of marinas on the south coast of England (2006, background): “Non-native species are frequently more common on £oating docks and other arti¢cial surfaces than adjacent natural substrates (Glasby & Connell, 2001; Paulay et al., 2002).”
Incumbency, diversity, and latitudinal gradients (2008, background): “Fewer data are available for marine tropical settings, but success rates of invasions from the temperate zones also appear to be low, outside of severely disturbed or novel habitats (e.g., Hewitt 2002; Paulay et al. 2002; Fridley et al. 2007).”
Ecology and natural history of the protochordates (2005, background): “On the other hand, in natural environments with high species diversity and stable environmental conditions, the available space is fully utilized and new settlers (including invading species) are much less likely to become successfully established (Paulay et al. 2002; Stachowicz et al. 2002a).”
Nonindigenous biota on artificial structures: could habitat creation facilitate biological invasions? (2007, background): “Pontoons and pilings therefore provide unique subtidal habitats that are poorly utilised by some native species (see also Paulay et al. 2002; Lambert 2002, 2003 for data on ascidians) and pontoons seem particularly favourable habitats for many NIS.”
