Establishment and proliferation under climate change: temperate tunicates in south-western Iceland
Context: Botryllus schlosseri and Diplosoma listerianum are spreading along the south-western coast of Iceland. Both species are non-indigenous and originated from the temperate zone. In some geographic regions, these species have been associated with negative ecological and economic impacts. The pr...
