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
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

Inferring introduction routes of invasive species using approximate Bayesian computation on microsatellite data [PDF]
Determining the routes of introduction provides not only information about the history of an invasion process, but also information about the origin and construction of the genetic composition of the invading population. It remains difficult, however, to

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.

Alien species related information systems and information management [PDF]
The conservation of biodiversity and ecosystem services is severely challenged by biological invasions. The rapid globalisation and increasing trends of trade, travel, and transport in recent decades have caused increasing rates of new introductions

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 ...

Optimal control of spatial-dynamic processes: The case of biological invasions [PDF]
This study examines the spatial nature of optimal bioinvasion control. We develop and parameterize a spatially explicit two-dimensional model of species spread that allows for differential control across space and time, and we solve for optimal control ...
