Molecular data attest to the occurrence of autochthonous Daphnia pulex (Crustacea, Branchiopoda) populations in Sicily, Italy

Advances in Oceanography and Limnology, 2021
Biological invasions are known to be among the most important threats to the long-term conservation of native biota, and their effects might be even more difficult to contrast when they are cryptic, i.e., when the non-native invaders cannot be easily ...

Alien plants in urban nature reserves : from red-list species to future invaders? [PDF]

, 2011
Urban reserves, like other protected areas, aim to preserve species richness but conservation efforts in these protected areas are complicated by high proportions of alien species.

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,

Warming outweighs nitrogen deposition in shaping rhizosphere microbial structure involved in carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus cycling in Ambrosia trifida

Frontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionAmbrosia trifida, a harmful invasive plant, poses significant ecological and economic threats and is expected to spread further under future warming and nitrogen deposition scenarios.

Evaluation of Pupal Parasitoids Trichomalopsis ovigastra and Pachycrepoideus vindemiae as Potential Biological Control Agents of Bactrocera dorsalis

Insects
Parasitoid wasps are vital for biological control, and while new species continue to be discovered, evaluating their biological characteristics is crucial for realizing their potential for pest management. Pachycrepoideus vindemiae (Rondani) (Hymenoptera:

Biological invasions and human dimensions: We still need to work hard on our social perspectives

Ecología Austral, 2022
In this article, we analyze and challenge a long-held paradigm that reduces the field of biological invasions to its ecological components. We explore thirteen case studies grouped within three major human dimensions (values, traditions, and quality of ...

Modelling biological invasions: individual to population scales at interfaces [PDF]

, 2013
Extracting the population level behaviour of biological systems from that of the individual is critical in understanding dynamics across multiple scales and thus has been the subject of numerous investigations.

Planting Patterns Affect the Differences in Growth and Its Responses to Nitrogen Forms and Levels Between Three Invasive and Their Respective Related Native Species

Plants
Global changes, such as atmospheric nitrogen deposition, can facilitate alien plant invasions, which are often attributed to the increase in soil nitrogen availability.

The socioeconomic dimensions of biosecurity: the New Zealand experience [PDF]

, 2006
The human dimensions of biological invasions have recently become the subject of serious study. Current insight suggests that socioeconomic arrangements can foster or restrict the introduction of new species, and create the conditions for alien species ...
