Not Cryptogenic: Molecular and Historical Evidence Supports Introduction of Asparagopsis taxiformis (Rhodophyta) Into the Galápagos Islands

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Identifying the origins of widespread species is crucial for conservation in isolated biodiversity hotspots, where ‘cryptogenic’ status often hinders effective biosecurity. We investigated the genetic identity and introduction history of the red macroalga Asparagopsis taxiformis in the Galápagos Islands to resolve its cryptogenic status ...

Contemporary Environmental Drivers of European Plant Distributions

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Understanding the contemporary environmental conditions determining plant species distributions is crucial. Here, we quantified the relative importance of climatic, edaphic, hydrological, topographic, and land use drivers of the European vascular flora and tested whether driver hierarchies vary across species groups and ecological ...

No Signal of Biotic Resistance to Non‐Native Species Establishment in High‐Elevation Communities

Journal of Vegetation Science, Volume 37, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
Climate warming supports the spread of non‐native species along roadways reaching into the alpine. We tested the biotic resistance hypothesis by assessing non‐native richness against native richness and functional diversity along elevation gradients globally.

Reconsidering the role of introduced species in the climate‐affected and highly invaded eastern Mediterranean

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Bioinvasions are considered mostly as a biodiversity and conservation hazard, but in specific situations, introduced species can bring ecological or socioeconomic benefits. We assessed the social–ecological role of marine introduced species in the eastern Mediterranean Sea—a global hotspot of bioinvasions and extirpations—and their potential ...

Hematodinium perezi (Dinophyceae: Syndiniales) in Morocco: The First Record on the African Atlantic Coast and the First Country Record of a Parasite of the Invasive Non-Native Blue Crab Callinectes sapidus

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Dinoflagellates belonging to the genus Hematodinium are key parasites of marine crustaceans, primarily decapods. In this study, we document the first report of H. perezi Chatton & Poisson, 1930 on the African Atlantic coast.

The MIREN Road Survey Database: Standardized Vegetation Sampling to Advance Our Understanding of Biodiversity Responses in Mountain Systems Across the Globe

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Motivation The database initiated by the Mountain Invasion Research Network (MIREN) is one of the few globally implemented standardized vegetation surveys in mountains. The focus is on collecting plant species occurrences at 5‐year intervals along and adjacent to mountain roads spanning elevational gradients, with the goal of providing ...

Climate Change Enhances the Success of Marine Invasive Species

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 7, July 2026.
Climate change is associated with increased marine invasion success, especially over longer time scales. Short‐term experiments showed variable and non‐significant responses, whereas medium‐term observational studies and long‐term models showed significant positive effects.
