Geological recognition of abrupt marine invasions in two coastal areas of Portugal
Abrupt marine invasions such as tsunamis and storms are particularly devastating for coastal areas. They may also leave a permanent record in the sedimentary deposits which is the principal focus of this thesis. In historical times the most destructive tsunami that affected Europe was the AD 1755 …

Marine Bioinvasions in Anthropogenic and Natural Habitats: an Investigation of Nonindigenous Ascidians in British Columbia
The simultaneous increase in biological invasions and habitat alteration through the building of coastal infrastructure is playing an important role in reshaping the composition and functioning of nearshore marine ecosystems. This thesis examined patterns of marine invasions across anthropogenic …

Spatiotemporal population genomics of marine species : invasion, expansion, and connectivity
… four such stories, focused on shared themes of marine population dynamics and rapid change, with an emphasis on invasive marine species. Biological invasions are often characterized by a range expansion, during which strong genetic drift is hypothesized to result in decreased genetic diversity …

Use of genetic methods for determining patterns and processes during marine biological invasions
… widely recognised as one of the major threats to marine biodiversity worldwide. With increasingly faster and more frequent transoceanic shipping, propagule pressure in the marine environment is likely to further increase, leading to a need for effective strategies for the early detection, …
