The role of two non-indigenous serpulid tube worms in shaping artificial hard substrata communities: case study of a fish farm in the central Mediterranean Sea

open access: yesAquaculture Environment Interactions, 2019
Understanding the spread and establishment of non-indigenous species (NIS) is one of the primary areas of focus in bioinvasion science and is essential for generating appropriate management strategies in aquaculture.

Overcoming barriers that limit the impact of ecological research

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and the Environment, Volume 24, Issue 1, February 2026.
Ecology and conservation researchers have diverse goals that often include both personal career aspirations and desires to enhance the well‐being of the natural world and its inhabitants. Perception of ecological research by ecologists typically involves a triad—linking goals, research, and impact.

Monitoring Extreme Impacts of Rugulopteryx okamurae (Dictyotales, Ochrophyta) in El Estrecho Natural Park (Biosphere Reserve). Showing Radical Changes in the Underwater Seascape

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
The invasive macroalga Rugulopteryx okamurae represents an unprecedented case of bioinvasion by marine macroalgae facing the European coasts. Since the first apparition of the species in the Strait of Gibraltar in 2015, its fast dispersion along the ...

Generalist ‘Winners’ Replace Specialist ‘Losers’: Interactions Between Regional Anthropogenic Impacts and Climate Warming Drive Long‐Term Wild Bee Declines

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim To quantify how interacting regional anthropogenic pressures and climate warming have driven long‐term changes in wild bee community composition and diversity. Location Eight sites within a 300 km2 region around Linz, Upper Austria (266–616 m a.s.l.).

Accumulating time lags across biodiversity levels following land‐use change

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 1, January 2026.
Species identity seems central in governing the observed delays at each level of biodiversity, from genetic to functional diversity. In particular, species identity controls the slowest responses at the genetic level, potentially leading to accumulating underestimations of the size and duration of time lags at species, community and functional ...

Assessment of invasive muskrat Ondatra zibethicus distribution and impacts on ecosystems in Lithuania

open access: yesJulius-Kühn-Archiv, 2011
After acclimatization muskrats spread over almost all Lithuania and increased to about 40 000 individuals in the 1980s. But since then the number of muskrats has decreased to about 2000 individuals.

Seed germination traits reveal naturalization potential: Global insights from temperate European herbaceous species

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 1, January 2026.
This study provides global‐scale evidence that the naturalization of European herbaceous species is related to specific germination traits acquired in the native range. The findings indicate that traits such as high germinability, low stratification requirements and responsiveness to scarification act as preadaptations that facilitate naturalization by

Riesgo de establecimiento del gasterópodo dulceacuícola invasor Melanoides tuberculatus (Thiaridae) en el Río de la Plata (Argentina-Uruguay) Colonization risks of the invading freshwater gastropod Melanoides tuberculatus (Thiaridae) in Río de la Plata (Argentina-Uruguay)

open access: yesRevista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2010
Melanoides tuberculatus es un gasterópodo cosmopolita que ha invadido y se ha establecido en casi todos los países del continente americano, desconociéndose en la mayoría de los casos el origen de su introducción. En este trabajo se menciona el riesgo de

Naturalization of ornamental plants in the United States depends on cultivation and historical land cover context

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2025, Issue 12, December 2025.
Cultivation by humans is the primary mode of introduction for naturalized plants and an important driver of naturalization, a critical step in the invasion process. Historical records of cultivated plants can represent introduced species pools and propagule pressure, allowing for tests of how species' traits and environmental context affect ...
