Risk of invasiveness of non-native aquatic species in the eastern Mediterranean region under current and projected climate conditions

Human-induced biological introductions pose a major threat to global biodiversity, and this is especially frequent in the eastern Mediterranean region, which is a globally important biodiversity hotspot area of high conservation value. To predict at which level introduced species in this region migh...
