Semi-submersible platforms are used in the offshore oil and gas industry. They specialised marine vessels that float on submersed drafts, which composed of pontoons columns can serve as habitats for biofouling benthic communities. When these sail from one place to another, either by using their own propellers or being towed, they act vectors introducing non-native species. To establish themselves new areas, exotic species require suitable habitats. Artificial substrates, such harbour infrastructure where moored, appear be highly this purpose. In present study, a mooring buoy piling at Curaçao (southern Caribbean), frequently semi-submersible platforms, were found colonised sun corals Tubastraea coccinea T. tagusensis shallow depths. This report presents first record an introduced southern Caribbean, highlighting potential role facilitating coral settlement depths shallower than those typically observed. These findings underscore ecological impact artificial substrates supporting invasive emphasise need monitoring programs defouling facilities.

Red lionfish, Pterois volitans, a non-native marine species with potential to cause significant damage Caribbean coral reefs, reached Barbados in late 2011. In 2012, before lionfish became locally established, fish surveys at ten reef sites were undertaken every four months over year generate baseline data. Fisher catch also two main landing twice year. A decade later, all repeated the same sites. Post-invasion biomass was low across most and increased site depth, likely due fishing. comparison of selected key herbivores high ecological commercial importance (parrotfishes surgeonfishes) forage groups (damselfishes wrasses) pre- post-invasion indicated no detectable effects on wrasses, although damselfish did decline increases. We found evidence fisher rates, suggesting negative impacts earnings. Furthermore, composition remained virtually unchanged for trap fishers, while had become an important component spearfishers. Overall, our results suggest that control through sustained fishing effectively protects might indirectly benefit reefs release pressure native fishes by spearfishers now targeting lionfish.

Abstract The expansion of lionfish Pterois miles across the Mediterranean Sea since its introduction via Suez Canal has been rapid, but mechanisms by which occurred have not fully tested. By using a series Lagrangian particle tracking simulations and high-resolution hydrodynamic models, we tested hypothesis that passive dispersal larvae could explain east to west lionfish. sequentially modelling annual larvae, from first observation in Lebanon 2012 then larval simulated settlement sites, showed driven ocean currents largely explained observed until 2020. spread was likely restricted environmental conditions when population reached central diverged observations. results emphasize potential contribution computational models understanding non-indigenous range expanding species response changing conditions, identifying high risk areas, guiding targeted surveillance, early detection, informing management strategies for such species. Given many are introduced through consistent pathway (the Canal), incorporation interdisciplinary approaches biophysical can provide fundamental knowledge action prioritization.

Animal personalities play a crucial role in invasion dynamics during alien species invasions. The behavioral strategies adopted by native varied among when facing an species, just as the invasive exhibited variations behavior across different process. However, effects of personality interactions between and on growth are rarely illustrated. We used globally freshwater turtle Trachemys scripta elegans Mauremys reevesii to investigate how combinations turtles would impact foraging strategy both species. found that M. bolder more exploratory than T. elegans. was mainly affected elegans, while influenced their own reevesii's personality. In addition, we did not combination affect either or reevesii. Difference may be due competitive advantage exploration-exploitation personalities. Overall, our results reveal mechanisms interaction provide empirical evidence help understand dynamics.
