The effects of microplastics size and type on entrapment by freshwater macrophytes under vertical and lateral deposition

Journal of Limnology
Marine and freshwater macrophytes are known to filter off microplastics from the water column; however, the effects of microplastic size and type on their retention by different macrophytes species have yet to be investigated.

Live reptile smuggling is predicted by trends in the legal exotic pet trade

Conservation Letters, 2021
Live animal smuggling presents a suite of conservation and biosecurity concerns, including the introduction of invasive species and diseases. Yet, understanding why certain species are smuggled over others, and predicting which species will be smuggled ...

Microbial ecology of biological invasions [PDF]

The ISME Journal, 2007
AbstractInvasive microbes, plants and animals are a major threat to the composition and functioning of ecosystems; however, the mechanistic basis of why exotic species can be so abundant and disruptive is not well understood. Most studies have focused on invasive plants and animals, although few have considered the effects of invasive microbes, or ...

Integrated assessment of biological invasions [PDF]

Ecological Applications, 2014
As the main witnesses of the ecological and economic impacts of invasions on ecosystems around the world, ecologists seek to provide the relevant science that informs managers about the potential for invasion of specific organisms in their region(s) of interest. Yet, the assorted literature that could inform such forecasts is rarely integrated to do so,

European Standard Clinical Practice Guideline and EXPeRT Recommendations for the Diagnosis and Management of Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Neoplasms in Children and Adolescents

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pediatric gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP‐NENs) are extremely rare and clinically heterogeneous. Management has largely been extrapolated from adult practice. This European Standard Clinical Practice Guideline (ESCP), developed by the EXPeRT network in collaboration with adult NEN experts, provides (adult) evidence ...

Population Genetic Differences Between Two Cucurbit Leaf Beetles With Contrasting Feeding Preferences

Ecology and Evolution
The Aulacophora beetles are pests closely associated with cucurbit plants. However, research on the fine‐scale population genetics of species within this genus remains limited. This study employed mitogenome data from 211 individuals (102 A.

A Study on the Assembly Mechanisms of Shrub Communities in Coniferous and Broadleaved Forests—A Case Study of Jiangxi, China

Biology
The ecological strategies of understory shrubs are critical for maintaining the structure and function of forest understory vegetation. Understanding the assembly mechanisms of these shrub communities is a central issue in modern ecology. To address this,

The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process ...

Solid Pseudopapillary Neoplasm of the Pancreas in Children and Adolescents: Expert Recommendations

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas (SPN) is a rare low‐grade malignant exocrine pancreatic tumor, mostly discovered during the second decade of life in females, with a very good prognosis, provided microscopically complete surgical excision is achieved.

Where are the seeds? Lack of floral morphs prevent seed production by the tristylous Pontederia cordata in South Africa

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Reproduction is a crucial part of the successful establishment and spread of an invasive species. Invasive plants often produce seeds prolifically to spread into new ranges, yet the invasive macrophyte, Pontederia cordata L., does not appear to produce ...
