  • Aquatic Invasions e-journal (AI) Aquatic Invasions is a rapid on-line journal focusing on biological invasions in European inland and coastal waters and potential donor areas of aquatic invasive species for Europe. The journal provides the opportunity of timely publication of first records of biological invaders for consideration in risk assessments and early warning systems. Also, the journal provides opportunity to publish relevant technical reports and other accounts not publishable in regular scientific journals. Aquatic Invasions is a part of the developing European early warning system on aquatic invasive species, with an important service of protection of authors rights on primary geo-referenced information on species records.
