Aquatic Invasions

Aims & Scope

Aquatic Invasions is an open access, peer-reviewed international journal focusing on academic research of biological invasions in both inland and coastal water ecosystems from around the world.

It was established in 2006 as initiative of the International Society of Limnology (SIL) Working Group on Aquatic Invasive Species (WGAIS) with start-up funding from the European Commission Sixth Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development Integrated Project ALARM.

Aquatic Invasions is an official journal of International Association for Open Knowledge on Invasive Alien Species (INVASIVESNET).

Aquatic Invasions provides a forum for professionals involved in research of aquatic non-native species, including a focus on the following: • Patterns of non-native species dispersal, including range extensions with global change • Trends in new introductions and establishment of non-native species • Population dynamics of non-native species • Ecological and evolutionary impacts of non-native species • Behaviour of invasive and associated native species in invaded areas • Prediction of new invasions • Advances in non-native species identification and taxonomy
