A review of the life history, invasion process, and potential management of Clavelina lepadiformis Müller, 1776: a recent invasion of the northwest Atlantic
The colonial tunicate Clavelina lepadiformis is a recent invader to the northwest Atlantic and has the potential to cause ecological andeconomic harm. This paper provides a review of the biological and ecological characteristics of C. lepadiformis, and hypothesizes the likelymechanisms of introducti...
