Predation Facilitates the Abundance of Biofouling Non-indigenous Species in Estuarine Marinas in NE Atlantic Portugal
(Elsevier, 2023)
Harbours are highly modified habitats that differ from natural areas. They are hotspots of non-indigenous species (NIS) and act as stepping-stones in invasive processes. However, local communities can exert biotic resistance ...

Location and Building Material Determine Fouling Assemblages within Marinas: A Case Study in Madeira Island (NE Atlantic, Portugal)
(Elsevier, 2023)
Marinas are hubs for non-indigenous species (NIS) and constitute the nodes of a network of highly modified water bodies (HMWB) connected by recreational maritime traffic. Floating structures, such as pontoons, are often ...

Drivers of compositional dissimilarity for native and alien birds: 2 the relative roles of human activity and environmental suitability
(Springer, 2020)
We assessed the relative importance of human activity and environmental suitability as drivers of compositional dissimilarity of alien birds for 65 of the most populous cities of the Iberian Peninsula. We examined how these ...
