Non indigenous ascidians in port and natural environments in a tropical Brazilian bay

Zoologia (Curitiba), 2010
Despite limited natural dispersal, some species of ascidians can be transported vast distances via oceanic petroleum platforms, ship hulls and ballast water and therefore may be good indicators of bioinvasion.

Legacy effects of European colonialism on hotspots of biocultural diversity threat

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 1742-1754, June 2026.
Abstract Patterns of biological diversity have been shaped by cultural practices in the past, while in turn, cultures and languages have evolved in close interaction with local species and ecosystems. However, in the Anthropocene, human activities are putting increasingly diverse pressures on ecosystems and cultures, resulting in accelerating threat ...

Differences in characteristics between naturalized threatened plants and other threatened plants

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Many non‐native plant species introduced by humans have become naturalized. At the same time many species are threatened in their native range. However, the number of plant species threatened in their native range that are naturalized elsewhere remains unknown.

Evaluating the range expansion of recreational non-native fishes in Portuguese freshwaters using scientific and citizen science data. [PDF]

, 2021
Updating information on the distribution of recently introduced and other poorly known non-natives is essential to prevent and control their spread and better address biological invasions. Here, we combine scientific and citizen science data to update

Evidence of Pervasive Legacy of Land Use Change on Dung Beetles in Central European Grazed Grasslands

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
This study modeled the effects of livestock farming and land use change on dung beetle species richness and abundance in Austria and the Czech Republic. Using historic land cover data from the 19th century, we found evidence for extinction debt, showing that past landscapes better explained current dung beetle populations than recent land use.
