1 Introduction The anthropogenic introduction of marine species outside their native ranges has been occurring for centuries, but it has been rising in recent years due to increasing human globalization. This includes more boat traffic, floating litter, aquaculture, the aquarium trade, and the construction of canals that allow the dissemination of exotic marine species (e.g., Bax et al. 2003; Geburzi and McCarthy 2018).

New international research warns of the significant impact of global warming on the biodiversity in European seas. Over the past 40 years, the Atlantic Ocean has experienced a tropicalisation of its communities, with an increase in the abundance of warmer-water species, while the Mediterranean and the Baltic Sea, where warming has been more rapid, have seen a marked decline in cold-water organisms.
