The impacts of biological invasions. [PDF]

Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc
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 ...

How might bacteriophages shape biological invasions? [PDF]

mBio, 2023
Invasions by eukaryotes dependent on environmentally acquired bacterial mutualists are often limited by the ability of bacterial partners to survive and establish free-living populations.

Biological invasions facilitate zoonotic disease emergences [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2022
Alien species invasions are thought to be important to zoonotic diseases through the introduction of both existing and novel pathogens to invaded ranges.

Quantifying and categorising the animal welfare impacts caused by biological invasions [PDF]

Nature Communications
Biological invasions cause animal suffering, but few studies assess these welfare impacts, and hence understanding of them is limited. We present a framework which can be used to identify relative changes to the welfare of an individual animal caused by ...

Circadian Activity and Clock Genes in Pachycrepoideus vindemmiae: Implications for Field Applications and Circadian Clock Mechanisms of Parasitoid Wasps

Insects, 2023
Despite the importance of circadian rhythms in insect behavior, our understanding of circadian activity and the molecular oscillatory mechanism in parasitoid wasp circadian clocks is limited.

Advantages of growth and competitive ability of the invasive plant Solanum rostratum over two co-occurring natives and the effects of nitrogen levels and forms

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
IntroductionAtmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition has often been considered as a driver of exotic plant invasions. However, most related studies focused on the effects of soil N levels, and few on those of N forms, and few related studies were conducted in

Ecological impacts of the invasive plant Xanthium strumarium and the impacts of three aboveground herbivores on the invader

Ecological Indicators, 2021
Exotic plant invasions are generally assumed to negatively impact biodiversity of recipient communities. However, experimental evidence for this assumption is little, especially in developing countries.

Prevalence of Bacterial and Protozoan Pathogens in Ticks Collected from Birds in the Republic of Moldova

Microorganisms, 2022
Epidemiological knowledge on pathogens in ticks feeding on birds in Moldova is scarce. To reduce this gap of information, a total of 640 migrating and native birds of 40 species were caught from 2012 to 2015 and examined for the presence of ticks in the ...

Species diversity of different insect families trapped under beer-based volatile fermentation

BMC Chemistry, 2020
Background Insect species composition is an important phenomenon playing a significant role in the ecosystem. Chemical control of insects and pests releases toxic materials to the environment. These chemicals are dangerous to human populations.
