The updated Global Naturalized Alien Flora (GloNAF 2.0) database

Ecology, Volume 106, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract GloNAF is a continuously updated, curated compilation of alien naturalized vascular plant inventories for geographic regions worldwide. Building on its predecessor, GloNAF 2.0 now contains 16,429 taxa and introduces major updates, including the standardization of taxonomic names using the World Checklist of Vascular Plants (WCVP), removal of ...

Conquering new territories in the "new world": the alien shrimp Athanas dimorphus Ortmann, 1894 (Decapoda: Alpheidae) on the coast of Pernambuco, northeastern Brazil

Nauplius
The occurrence of the alien alpheid shrimp Athanas dimorphus Ortmann, 1894 is reported for the first time for the state of Pernambuco, northeastern Brazil, based on two ovigerous females collected at Praia do Paraíso, near the Suape Harbor (08º21'29.9"S ...

Six Decades of Losses and Gains in Alpha Diversity of European Plant Communities

Ecology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 11, November 2025.
We developed a new method based on machine learning to interpolate spatiotemporal trends in vascular plant diversity across Europe from 1960 to 2020, utilising vegetation data without temporal replication. We found a near‐zero net change in species richness over the entire period, but declines from 1960 to 1980 were followed by increases from 2000 to ...

Gaps in Global Alien Plant Trait Data and How to Fill Them

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 34, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Functional traits help to understand the ecological processes underlying biological invasions. The extent to which trait data are available for alien plants at the global scale is unknown. In this study, we assess the availability of trait data and identify global gaps and biases. Location Global. Time Period Present.

Assessing the fast geographic range expansion of the Asian green mussel, Perna viridis (Bivalvia: Mytilidae), in the Brazilian coastal waters [PDF]

Zoologia (Curitiba)
Perna viridis (Linnaeus, 1758) is an invasive species that has caused major environmental and economic impacts in several regions where it has been introduced. In Brazil, since its introduction in 2019, it has been rapidly expanding its distribution.

Global Homogenisation of Plant Communities Along Mountain Roads by Non‐Native Species Despite Mixed Effects at Smaller Scales

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 34, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Mountain ecosystems are experiencing increased invasion of non‐native plants. These increases in non‐native species put mountains at risk of biotic homogenisation and a reduction of biodiversity. Our study aims to test if non‐native plant species are contributing to biotic homogenisation along roadways in mountain regions and how this ...

A comparative study of populations of Ectopleura crocea and Ectopleura ralphi (Hydrozoa, Tubulariidae) from the Southwestern Atlantic Ocean [PDF]

, 2014
Ectopleura crocea (L. Agassiz, 1862) and Ectopleura ralphi (Bale, 1884) are two of the nominal tubulariid species re-corded for the Southwestern Atlantic Ocean (SWAO), presumably with wide but disjunct geographical ranges and similar morphologies.
