    Rising seas to open new front for biological invasions●Global sea-level rise will create a new biological invasion front✉newsScienceBiology41 min ago

    Researchers warn that global sea-level rise will create a new biological invasion front, as advancing saltwater allows marine and brackish species to penetrate inland ecosystems previously beyond their reach. The finding, published in Nature, suggests coastlines worldwide face not only flooding but a wave of invasive species displacing native plants and animals. Scientists urge planners to factor invasion risk into coastal adaptation strategies.

    Rising seas help invasive marine species spread●Rising seas aid spread of invasive marine species✉newsScienceBiology2 h ago

    Rising sea levels are helping invasive marine species spread into new coastal areas, according to coverage of new research findings. Warmer waters and shifting currents are allowing non-native organisms to establish themselves in ecosystems where they were previously unable to survive, raising concerns among biologists about damage to native species and local fisheries.
