Dear Marmam-ers, I recently saw this request from a specialist in "Alien species" and thought that maybe a marine mammal specialist could help or forward the request to other researchers or newsletters that could help. "I am interested in cases where researchers or scientists were unknowing or accidental vectors of introduction for alien species, but I am having a difficult time locating evidence of such events. I am more interested in cases related to aquatic introduced species, but any and all examples would be helpful. I would greatly appreciate if anyone on the list-serve could provide me documents or accounts of this vector. Thank you, Jacob Westhoff Preparing Future Faculty Postdoctoral Fellow Department of Fisheries and Wildlife Sciences 302 Anheuser Busch Natural Resources Building Columbia, MO 65211 westhoffj@missouri.edu Office: 573-884-2272" Thank you!
