Marine Bioinvasion: Ecological Risks and Implications for Maritime Safety [PDF]

open access: yes
Ballast water is essential for the stabilization of ships, ensuring the safety of the vessel, cargo and crew. This practice is crucial for controlling the ship’s draft, keeping the vessel upright and preventing it from listing. Despite its importance for

ANIS‐E: An Atlas of Marine Non‐Indigenous Species in Europe

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Motivation Non‐Indigenous Species (NIS) pose a major threat to global biodiversity and incur substantial environmental, economic and health costs. Yet, in marine ecosystems, invasion biogeography remains constrained by the limited availability of spatially explicit and consistently documented native range information, which is essential for ...

Physiological response of invasive mussel Limnoperna fortunei (Dunker, 1857) (Bivalvia: Mytilidae) submitted to transport and experimental conditions

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Biology
Successful animal rearing under laboratory conditions for commercial processes or laboratory experiments is a complex chain that includes several stressors (e.g., sampling and transport) and incurs, as a consequence, the reduction of natural animal ...

Reconciling links between diversity and population stability across global plant communities

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 1, Page 154-165, April 2026.
Summary Maintaining ecological stability is essential for sustaining ecosystem functions and the benefits they provide to society. Ecological theory predicts that plant diversity destabilizes local populations, yet empirical studies report variable effects.

Unveiling Shell Geometry: Morphometric Differences Between the Invasive Mussel Perna viridis and the Native Perna perna

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 1, March 2026.
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.

Patterns of Tree Species Abundance and Diversity on Urban Sidewalks in Macapá, Amapá, Brazil

open access: yesEcological Research, Volume 41, Issue 2, March 2026.
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
