• Traits:Plant introductions: deliberate translocation of plant species  + (This refers to plant species which are planted intentionally for some purpose resulting in the introduction of an invasive plant into a new area/region (e.g. for erosion control).)
• Traits:Location Type  + (Three location types have been recorded to describe the native range and known introduced range of the species)
• Traits:UpperLittoralFringe  + (Top of the littoral fringe, characterized by ''Verrucaria maura'' with ''Littorina saxatilis'' and ''Littorina neritoides'' often present. May include saltmarsh species on shale/pebbles in shelter (Hiscock, 1996).)
• Traits:Feeding  + (Traits related to how an organism feeds, the food type and feeding method exhibited by a species)

• Traits:BodyForm  + (Traits relating to the form, shape and structure of the species)
• Traits:ModeOfLife  + (Traits relating to the mode of life a species exhibits)
• Traits:Movement  + (Traits relating to the movement of the species)

• Traits:Ecophysiology  + (Traits that describe an physiological and environmental tolerance of an organism)
• Traits:ReproductiveType  + (Traits that describe how an organism reproduces or the mechanism by which reproduction is achieved.)
• Traits:ArmsAppendages  + (Traits that describe specialized limbs or appendages used to catch or process food items.)
• Traits:Lifehistory  + (Traits that describe the life history characteristics of an organism)
• Traits:WaveExposure  + (Traits that describe the range of exposure to wave action in which the organism is recorded.)
• Traits:MouthParts  + (Traits that describes specialized mouth parts)
• Traits:Pollination  + (Transfer of male gametophyte (pollen) to the 'female' part of a flower)

• Traits:Bivoltine  + (Two generations per year (Barnes ''et al.'', 2006).)
• Traits:CircalittoralOffshore  + (Typically occurs below 50-70 metres away from the influence of wave action. Aphotic with animal communities in stable or stenothermal and stenohaline conditions. Open sea (Connor et al., 1997).)
• Traits:Pathway/vector Unknown  + (Unknown mechanisms of introduction were represented by a blank cell.)
• Traits:Robust  + (Unlikely to be damaged as a result of physical impacts, e.g. hard or tough enough to withstand impact, or leathery or wiry enough to resist impact.)
• Traits:Bysso-Pelagic  + (Use of a length of byssus thread (e.g. micro-molluscs, juvenile molluscs) or mucus (e.g ''Nemertesia'' planulae) to be carried by water flow)
• Traits:BallooningKiting  + (Use of a length of silk to be carried by the wind (e.g. spiders))
• Traits:GraspingPaws  + (Vertebrate hands, feat, paws etc designed to grasp food items using claws, talons etc.)
• Traits:Neritic  + (Water column overlying the continental shelf; surface to ca 200m depth.)
• Traits:Canals: natural range expansion through man-made canals  + (Where a canal, by joining two bodies of water which were not originally naturally joined, becomes a conduit for invasive species migration to a new area/region.)
• Traits:Bio-control: deliberate translocation as a bio-control agent  + (Where a species (i.e. a bio-control agent) introduced to control a pest, weed or invasive species becomes a problem itself.)
• Traits:Bio-control: accidental translocation with deliberate bio-control release  + (Where an introduction of a bio-control agent results in an unintentional introduction of an invasive species (which is carried directly on the bio-control agent itself or along with habitat material associated with the bio-control agent).)
• Traits:Fisheries: deliberate translocations of fish or shellfish to establish or support fishery  + (Where an invasive species is intentionally introduced into a new area/region for the purpose of stocking/replenishing/establishing a fishery industry based on the invasive species.)
• Traits:Fisheries: accidental with fishery products, packing or substrate  + (Where an invasive species is unintentionally introduced into a new area/region as a result of the movement of fishery related products or materials (ie: not the direct movement of fisheries stock).)
• Traits:Natural dispersal  + (Where an invasive species migrates from a known introduced location to a new area/region using a natural mode/mechanism of dispersal; as the original location is part of its introduced range this pathway is included here.)
• Traits:Debris: transport of species on human generated debris  + (Where floating rafts of man-made materials become vectors for an invasive species.)
• Traits:Fisheries: accidental with deliberate translocations of fish or shellfish  + (Where in the process of stocking a fishery an associated invasive species is unintentionally introduced into a new area/region.)
