TL;DR: The state of knowledge of marine biodiversity is analyzed based on the geographic distribution of georeferenced species records and regional taxonomic lists and it is found that the currently accepted classification of marine ecoregions of the Caribbean did not apply for the benthic distributions of five relatively well known taxonomic groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic Perspectives on Marine Biological Invasions
TL;DR: The application of molecular genetic data in fields such as population genetics, phylogeography, and evolutionary biology have improved the authors' ability to make inferences regarding invasion histories, and genetic methods have helped to resolve longstanding questions regarding the cryptogenic status of marine species.

Changing coasts: marine aliens and artificial structures
TL;DR: It is clear that artificial structures can pave the way and act as stepping stones or even corridors for some marine aliens, as do urban areas, roads and riparian environments in terrestrial ecosystems.

Tsunami-driven Rafting: Transoceanic Species Dispersal and Implications for Marine Biogeography
James T. Carlton,John W. Chapman,Jonathan B. Geller,Jessica A. Miller,Deborah A. Carlton,Megan McCuller,Nancy C. Treneman,Brian P. Steves,Gregory M. Ruiz,Gregory M. Ruiz +9 more
TL;DR: This work documents 289 living Japanese coastal marine species from 16 phyla transported over 6 years on objects that traveled thousands of kilometers across the Pacific Ocean to the shores of North America and Hawai’i, resulting in the longest documented transoceanic survival and dispersal of coastal species by rafting.

Species are hypotheses: avoid connectivity assessments based on pillars of sand
Eric Pante,Nicolas Puillandre,Amélia Viricel,Sophie Arnaud-Haond,Didier Aurelle,Magalie Castelin,Anne Chenuil,Christophe Destombe,Didier Forcioli,Didier Forcioli,Myriam Valero,Frédérique Viard,Sarah Samadi +12 more
TL;DR: This study illustrates how the failure to recognize boundaries of evolutionary‐relevant unit leads to heavily biased estimates of connectivity, and reviews the conceptual framework within which species delimitation can be formalized as falsifiable hypotheses and how connectivity studies can feed integrative taxonomic work and vice versa.
