Glasby, Connell, Holloway & Hewitt 1

S1. Taxa collected in studies done in Sydney Harbour 1) Connell and Glasby (1999), 2) Holloway unpubl. data, 3) Glasby and Connell (2001), 4) Glasby (2000), 5) Glasby (2001). Native (N), introduced (I) or cryptogenic (C) status assigned based loosely on a restricted set of the Chapman and Carlton (1991) criteria (excluding their criterion number five; the species is most prevalent in, or restricted to, new or artificial environments) or based on specific reference or comments. Note that cryptogenic species were not included in analyses, but have been included here for completeness. The Chapman and Carlton criteria were assigned as: i) sudden local appearance; ii) subsequent local spread; iii) distribution associated with human mechanisms of dispersal; iv) the species is trophically or symbiotically dependent on other known introduced species; vi) distribution restricted in comparison with natives; vii) disjunctive global distribution; viii) dispersal mechanisms are inadequate to reach Australia without human aid; and ix) the species is most similar morphologically or genetically to species in other regions of the world. Criterion five was not scored for this analysis.
