Detecting marine invasions can be challenging, especially for lesser-known taxa, and requires (a) thorough field surveys of the region of interest for members of the taxon, (b) systematic analyses to identify all species found, (c) literature searches for the worldwide distribution of these species and for previous records of the taxon in this region, and (d) application of rigorous criteria to assess whether each species found is native or introduced. We carried out these steps in order to…

Do Singapore’s seawalls host non-native marine molluscs?
TLDR
The results from this study add to the increasing pool of literature showing that, contrary to widespread assumption, there is a very low occurrence of non-native marine species in Singapore.
Four Centuries of Biological Invasions in Tidal Waters of the Chesapeake Bay Region
Biological invasions are prevalent in marine ecosystems throughout the world. Several studies demonstrate that the number and abundance of non-native species have increased dramatically in recent…
Trapped in freshwater: the internal anatomy of the entoproct Loxosomatoides sirindhornae
TLDR
The architecture of internal organ systems such as the musculature or the calyx-stalk junction hold more promising information for taxonomic and perhaps even evolutionary inferences in Entoprocta than external characters such as spination.
Loxosomatoides sirindhornae, new species, a freshwater kamptozoan from Thailand (Entoprocta)
TLDR
A new species of freshwater kamptozoan (Entoprocta) is described from the Mae Klong and Prachin Buri Rivers in central Thailand, and grows as stolonate colonies; each diminutive zooid has a muscular, unsegmented stalk, and an obliquely oriented calyx.
NEW RECORDS OF CRUSTACEANS (AMPHIPODA, ISOPODA) IN THE SACRAMENTO/SAN JOAQUIN DELTA, CALIFORNIA, AND APPLICATION OF CRITERIA FOR INTRODUCED SPECIES
TLDR
This work applied Chapman and Carlton's criteria for determining introduced species to test whether these species are non-indigenous to the delta, and found that these populations appear to be firmly established.
The ecology of Lepas-based biofouling communities on moored and drifting objects, with applications for marine forensic science
TLDR
This study examines community succession, growth rates and isotopic composition in Lepas and their associated biofouling communities in coastal waters of eastern Australia and reports a new maximum growth rate and growth rates for any species of Lepas faster than 1 mm day−1, which have important applications for estimating drift duration and trajectories of marine debris.
Geometric morphometric analysis discriminates native and non-native species of Caprellidae in western North America
TLDR
Geometric morphometrics and the thin-plate spline method can serve to both complement descriptions using traditional keys and aid in identification of non-native species in novel geographical regions.
Predation on kamptozoans (Entoprocta)
TLDR
It is found a plagiostomid turbellarian flatworm (Plagios-tomum sp.) preying upon Barentsia benedeni in an estuarine sublittoral fouling community in Long Island Sound, USA.
Review of the Studies of Japanese Entoprocts (Entoprocta)
The study of entoprocts in Japanese waters was begun in 1890 by Asajiro Oka, who described 1 colonial species from central Japan. To date, 30 solitary and 11 colonial species have been reported from…
Ocean rafting and marine debris: A broader vector menu requires a greater appetite for invasion biology research support

Predicted discoveries of the introduced isopod Synidotea laevidorsalis (Miers, 1881)
TLDR
It appears that many estuarine and nearshore marine introductions have occurred that have not been discovered and that many new records of endemic and introduced Synidotea populations around the world remain to be discovered.
Systematic revision of colonial kamptozoans (entoprocts) of the Pacific coast of North America
TLDR
Collection of colonies in the field and examination of museum specimens revealed eight species of stolonate colonial kamptozoans (entoprocts) occurring on the Pacific coast of North America, with a close relationship between Barentsia discreta, B. hildegardae, andB.
Biological Invasions and Cryptogenic Species
TLDR
It is clear that in communities that have been under the sustained influence of human endeavor there are many species that cannot reliably be assigned to either native or exotic, and the existence of cryptogenic species has important consequences for understanding biological invasions.
Invasions of the Northeast Pacific by Asian and Atlantic Gammaridean Amphipod Crustaceans, Including a New Species of Corophium
TLDR
Analyses based on criteria for introduced species indicate the four species are introduced in 26 of 27 possible instances and are thus exotic as predicted, and partially corroborate Carlton's thesis that extensive and persistent faunal invasions have occurred in northeast Pacific estuaries.
Introduced marine and estuarine mollusks of North America: an end-of-the-20th-century perspective
TLDR
A review of the introduced marine and estuarine bivalves and prosobranch and pulmonate gastropods of the Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific coasts of North America reveals an established fauna of 36 non-indigenous species, with regional patterns linked to a combination of human-mediated dispersal mechanisms and regional geological-biological Pleistocene history.
Nonindigenous aquatic species in a United States estuary: a case study of the biological invasions of the San Francisco Bay and delta
The San Francisco Bay/Delta Estuary hosts more nonindigenous species than are known for any other estuary, with 212 established species, 15 species too recently arrived to determine whether they have…
Seasonal Distribution and Settling Rates of Estuarine Bryozoa
TLDR
The purpose of this study is to report on the seasonal distribution, spatial distribution, reproductive periods and settling rates of estuarine bryozoans at Beaufort, North Carolina, with a consideration of environmental factors related to these.
A TEST OF CRITERIA FOR INTRODUCED SPECIES: THE GLOBAL INVASION BY THE ISOPOD SYNIDOTEA LAEVIDORSALIS (MIERS, 1881)
TLDR
Findings of errors in species identifications indicate that the prevalence of marine and estuarine introductions has been underestimated and that the extent of many introductions remains poorly resolved.
NEW VICTORELLIDS (BRYOZOA, CTENOSTOMATA) FROM NORTH AMERICA: THE USE OF PARALLEL CULTURES IN BRYOZOAN TAXONOMY
Three species of the Victorellidae (Bryozoa, Ctenostomata) were found in North America and were cultivated in Braunschweig (W. Germany). Two are new species, Victorella pseudoarachnidia sp. nov. and…
Loxokalypus socialis gen. et sp. nov. (Kamptozoa, Loxokalypodidae fam. nov.), ein neuer Kamptozoentyp aus dem nördlichen Pazifischen Ozean. Ein Vorschlag zur Neufassung der Kamptozoensystematik
TLDR
It is proposed that illustrations for new descriptions of entoprocts should be standardized, and that the use of microphotos for this purpose be made obligatory, and a new approach proposed to the taxonomy of Kamptozoa consistent with phylogeny.
