Abstract

Non-native species (NNS) are widely regarded to be one of the major threats to the loss of biodiversity worldwide.Maritime trade is the primary pathway for the transport and introduction of aquatic NNS around the world,and ports are central to this network. Our knowledge of port communities and the...
