Mytilus galloprovincialis (Mollusca: Bivalvia) in a warm-temperate South African estuarine embayment

Explaining Ocean Warming: Causes, scale, effects and consequences

“…Undaria pinnatifida: Dean and Hurd (2007), Austrominius modestus: Harms (1999), Carcinus maenas: Naylor (1962), Mytilus spp. : Pollard and Hodgson (2016), which have all been involved in invasions worldwide). There is growing evidence that the proliferation of artificial hard structures in the marine environment has had an additive effect with climate warming, and facilitated range shifts in non-native species (Ruiz et al, 2009;Bracewell et al, 2012;Mineur et al, 2012;Spinuzzi et al, 2013;Airoldi et al, 2015).…”
