Predation Limits Spread of Didemnum vexillum into Natural Habitats from Refuges on Anthropogenic Structures

Non-indigenous species can dominate fouling assemblages on artificial structures in marine environments; however, the extent to which infected structures act as reservoirs for subsequent spread to natural habitats is poorly understood. Didemnum vexillum is one of few colonial ascidian species that i...
