| Notes | Human activities can cause invasive species to be introduced into estuaries, and anthropogenic structures can give them niches where they can establish themselves in new environments. In this poster, the authors explore the invasion risk inside and outside a marina that has been colonized with non-native species. 84 settling tiles were placed inside and outside a marina, and given different treatments. There was much higher species diversity inside the marina than outside. The authors suggest that a combination of predation outside the marina, along with dispersal, is responsible for this difference. |
