Biological invasions are increasingly creating ecological and economical problems both on land and in aquatic environments. For over a century, the Mediterranean Sea has steadily been invaded by Indian Ocean/Red Sea species (called Lessepsian invaders) via the Suez Canal, with a current estimate of ~450 species. The bluespotted cornetfish, Fistularia commersonii, considered a ‘Lessepsian sprinter’, entered the Mediterranean in 2000 and by 2007 had spread through the entire basin from Israel to…

A shared haplotype across all localities in the D-loop provided probable confirmation for the Red Sea origin of the invasive population, and a number of introduced haplotypes indicated that the Mediterranean populations are a product of multiple invasion events.

Minimum and optimal temperatures for growth and oxygen production were lower for Mediterranean populations than for the Red Sea one, and the displacement of the thermal niche of exotic populations towards the colder Mediterranean Sea regime could have occurred within 175 clonal generations.

The presence of genes under selection in populations near the Suez Canal supports the idea that selection may be active and essential for successful invasions right out of the gate.
The genetics and genomics of marine fish invasions: a global review
- Environmental Science, BiologyReviews in Fish Biology and Fisheries
- 2019
The majority of studies on marine fishes reveal similar genetic diversity levels in both native and introduced ranges, suggesting massive or multiple introductions, and the potential of marine fish invasions as a model to test evolutionary responses to rapid environmental changes is discussed.

Comparing the genomic and transcriptomic landscapes of two independent invasions of the Pacific Oyster into the North Sea and identifying functional congruence between population outlier loci and population specific transcriptomic profiles is revealed to reveal a glimpse at the traits and processes characterizing specific mechanisms involved in successful invasions.

The red coral is a highly genetically structured species and a promising model for the study of adaptive processes along an environmental gradient and the evolution of red coral populations along environmental gradients is studied.
Anti-Lessepsian migration rectified: the Comber Serranus cabrilla (L. 1758) existed in the Red Sea prior to the Suez Canal opening

Serranus cabrilla must, therefore, have existed in the Red Sea prior to the opening of the Suez Canal and can no longer be considered as an anti-Lessepsian migrant.

Pre‐introduction introgression contributes to parallel differentiation and contrasting hybridization outcomes between invasive and native marine mussels
- BiologyJournal of evolutionary biology
- 2020
This work investigates genetic parallelism between multiple introduced populations of the invasive marine mussel, Mytilus galloprovincialis, in the absence of South Africa and California and presence of hybridization with a native congener and suggests that divergent demographic histories experienced by introduced lineages, including pre‐introduction introgression, influence contemporary admixture dynamics.

- Environmental Science
- 2015
The population genetic characteristics of Indo-Pacific native populations of F. commersonii are estimated in order to determine if this Lessepsian ‘sprinter’ fits the predictive model of dispersal and it is found that even in the case of such a very rapid range expansion, the predicted relationship between Fst and CES is fulfilled.

The data support the idea that the invasion success of Senecio inaequidens in Central Europe is based on selective introduction of specific preadapted and plastic genotypes rather than on adaptive evolution in the introduced range.

Results suggest the possible occurrence of two mitochondrial lineages involved in the Mediterranean invasion of F. commersonii, a bottleneck may have caused a loss in the genetic variation, leading to the fixation of specific lineages as an adaptive response to the new environmental conditions.

The results showed that colonization of the Mediterranean Sea proceeded in parallel along the southern and northern rim of the Basin at speeds that reached 1,000–1,500 km year−1 with a clear decrease in the rate of spread at the Sicily Strait, indicating abiotic factors of primary importance in shaping the distribution of this species in its invaded range.
