This project aims to determine whether pollution affects the biological resistance of assemblages to invasion. The discharge of toxicants into coastal waters is an increasingly important source of disturbance that has the potential to make marine assemblages more susceptible to biotic invasion. The project will determine if pollution events facilitate the colonisation, persistence and spread of non-native species and how initial assemblage diversity modifies this response. The generality of several important ecological hypotheses developed in plant communities are tested in marine systems for the first time and extended to include the role of toxic disturbances.

该项目旨在确定污染是否影响生物组合对入侵的抵抗力。向沿海水域排放毒物是一个日益重要的干扰来源，有可能使海洋生物更容易受到生物入侵。该项目将确定污染事件是否有助于非本地物种的殖民、持久性和传播，以及初始群落多样性如何改变这种反应。在植物群落中提出的几个重要的生态假说的普遍性首次在海洋系统中进行了测试，并扩展到包括有毒干扰的作用。
