Aquatic Invasions in the Black, Caspian, and Mediterranean Seas by Henri J. Dumont,Tamara A. Shiganova,Ulrich Niermann Pdf
The Mediterranean, Black, and Caspian Seas, the rivers and canals that connect them, and the enormous volume of shipping in the region, represent a conduit for aquatic invasion, whose consequences are only now beginning to be understood. This book provides an up-to-date overview of jelly invasions in the Ponto-Caspian which have affected local ecosystems since the early 1980s, contrasting that with other biological invasions, in search of underlying principles.
