Perna viridis is an invasive mussel species recently introduced to the southeastern coast of Brazil, where it coexists with the native Perna perna. Morphological similarity between these species, particularly in early life stages, has led to frequent misidentifications, compromising ecological assessments and management efforts.

Non-native species in floodplain secondary forests in Peninsular Malaysia. [PDF]
There is an increasing concern of alien species invading our tropical ecosystems because anthropogenic land use can create conditions in which non-native species thrive. This study is an assessment of bioinvasion using a quantitative survey of non-native

Spatial Analysis: Development of Descriptive and Normative Methods with Applications to Economic-Ecological Modelling [PDF]
This paper adapts Turing analysis and applies it to dynamic bioeconomic problems where the interaction of coupled economic and ecological dynamics over space endogenously creates (or destroys) spatial heterogeneity.

Patterns of Tree Species Abundance and Diversity on Urban Sidewalks in Macapá, Amapá, Brazil
This study presents the first systematic inventory of street trees in Macapá, Northeastern Brazilian Amazon. Results reveal a dominance of exotic and fruit‐bearing species, low tree density, and a replacement of large canopy trees by smaller ones, indicating potential losses in ecosystem services and the need for more biodiversity‐focused afforestation

Proposition d'un cadre de représentation des bioinvasions en milieu rural : cas de Acacia dealbata à Madagascar [PDF]
Dans certaines situations rurales où se conjuguent pauvreté des populations et rareté des ressources, l'analyse des conséquences de l'invasion d'une espèce ligneuse nécessite l'emploi d'un cadre d'approche large et objectif, qui inclue les interactions ...

Secondary wind dispersal enhances long-distance dispersal of an invasive species in urban road corridors [PDF]
Roads contribute to habitat fragmentation and function as dispersal barriers for many organisms. At the same time many nonnative plant species are associated with road systems, a relationship that has been explained by the availability of disturbed ...

Overcoming barriers that limit the impact of ecological research
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.
