Caulerpa toxifolia 'killer algae'

[Hosch, Gilles (FAORAF)]

hi tim,

some feedback to your request below. first a most recent reference:

Zuljevic, A. et al. (2001) Sea slug disperses the invasive Caulerpa
taxifolia. Journal of the Marine Biological Association U.K. 81, pp. 343-344

you might want to get a copy of this "short communication" paper (no maps in
this one though). it contains 9 more references, of which some are relevant
to your particular search and might very well contain the maps you are
after.

there is a french researcher based in nice (co-author of the above paper)
that you might want to contact also, who has published quite a bit of work
on the spreading and biological control of C. taxifolia. his e-mail is
thibautt at unice.fr

all the best,

g

Hello Coral listers,
I know it's not strictly coral but can anyone put me in touch with anyone 
who can give me the latest info on the spread of the marine algae Caulerpa 
toxifolia. I'm writing it up for a UK magazine and am keen to find a map 
showing Mediterranean distribution.I'd like to talk to anyone who's doing 
research on the organism.
