Dear Author Here are the proofs of your article. • You can submit your corrections online, via e-mail or by fax. • For online submission please insert your corrections in the online correction form. Always indicate the line number to which the correction refers. • You can also insert your corrections in the proof PDF and email the annotated PDF. • For fax submission, please ensure that your corrections are clearly legible. Use a fine black pen and write the correction in the margin, not too close to the edge of the page. • Remember to note the journal title, article number, and your name when sending your response via e-mail or fax. • Check the metadata sheet to make sure that the header information, especially author names and the corresponding affiliations are correctly shown. • Check the questions that may have arisen during copy editing and insert your answers/corrections. • Check that the text is complete and that all figures, tables and their legends are included. Also check the accuracy of special characters, equations, and electronic supplementary material if applicable. If necessary refer to the Edited manuscript. • The publication of inaccurate data such as dosages and units can have serious consequences. Please take particular care that all such details are correct. • Please do not make changes that involve only matters of style. We have generally introduced forms that follow the journal’s style. • Substantial changes in content, e.g., new results, corrected values, title and authorship are not allowed without the approval of the responsible editor. In such a case, please contact the Editorial Office and return his/her consent together with the proof. • If we do not receive your corrections within 48 hours, we will send you a reminder. • Your article will be published Online First approximately one week after receipt of your corrected proofs. This is the official first publication citable with the DOI. Further changes are, therefore, not possible. • The printed version will follow in a forthcoming issue. Please note After online publication, subscribers (personal/institutional) to this journal will have access to the complete article via the DOI using the URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s13157-012-0338-0 If you would like to know when your article has been published online, take advantage of our free alert service.

Detailed information on the biological mechanisms that are supporting the invasion process, as well as on the importance of environment variables, is of paramount importance if adequate measures aiming at preventing the eradication of native strains are to be successfully implemented. Although the role of environmental stress in benefiting invasions has recently been documented, there seems to be little information on the characterization of environments where invasion is delayed or has failed altogether. Given that both the biotic and abiotic parameters of salt ponds within the Aveiro’s AUTHOR'S PROOF salinas complex (Portugal) presently occupied by A. franciscana have already been thoroughly characterised (Vieira and Bio Journal of Sea Research 65:293–303, 2011), we will compare the same variables to those measured in an artisanal salina from the same complex, where native Artemia still occurs. Since there is no indication of salt ponds where both the native and invasive species co-occur, we hypothesise that explicit differences in environmental factors (e.g. salinity, temperature, pH, alkalinity, dissolved oxygen availability or nutrient concentrations) would help justify the observed distribution pattern of both Artemia species. 55 Keywords Artemia - Salina - Ecology - Biological invasions separated by ' - ' 56 Foot note information AUTHOR'S PROOF JrnlID 13157_ArtID 338_Proof# 1 - 20/09/2012 Wetlands DOI 10.1007/s13157-012-0338-0 1 3 ARTICLE 2 4 Surviving an Invasion: Characterization of One 5 of the Last Refugia for Artemia Diploid Parthenogenetic Strains 79 Carolina M.
