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,

Bistability induced by generalist natural enemies can reverse pest invasions [PDF]

, 2016
Reaction-diffusion analytical modeling of predator-prey systems has shown that specialist natural enemies can slow, stop and even reverse pest invasions, assuming that the prey population displays a strong Allee effect in its growth.

Pathogen Emergence As Complex Biological Invasion: Lessons From Dynamical Systems Modeling

Northeast Journal of Complex Systems, 2023
Infectious disease emergence has become the target of cross-disciplinary efforts that aim to understand and predict the shape of outbreaks. The many challenges involved with the prediction of disease emergence events is a characteristic that infectious ...

Invasion speeds for structured populations in fluctuating environments [PDF]

, 2010
We live in a time where climate models predict future increases in environmental variability and biological invasions are becoming increasingly frequent.

Pharmacological levels of withaferin A (Withania somnifera) trigger clinically relevant anticancer effects specific to triple negative breast cancer cells [PDF]

, 2014
Withaferin A (WA) isolated from Withania somnifera (Ashwagandha) has recently become an attractive phytochemical under investigation in various preclinical studies for treatment of different cancer types. In the present study, a comparative pathway-based

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.

Invasion and adaptive evolution for individual-based spatially structured populations [PDF]

, 2006
The interplay between space and evolution is an important issue in population dynamics, that is in particular crucial in the emergence of polymorphism and spatial patterns.

Invasion syndromes: a systematic approach for predicting biological invasions and facilitating effective management

Biological Invasions, 2020
Our ability to predict invasions has been hindered by the seemingly idiosyncratic context-dependency of individual invasions. However, we argue that robust and useful generalisations in invasion science can be made by considering “invasion syndromes ...

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,

WRKY61 Negatively Regulates Aluminum Resistance by Inhibiting the Expression of ALMT1 in Arabidopsis thaliana

Plants
Aluminum (Al) toxicity is a major constraint on crop production in acidic soils. A key mechanism for aluminum resistance in many plants involves the ALMT1-mediated exudation of malate from the root system. This process hinges on the precise regulation of
