Assessing the impacts of nonindigenous marine macroalgae: an update of current knowledge [PDF]

, 2015
Nonindigenous marine species continue to be one of the foremost threats to marine biodiversity. As an update to a 2007 review of the impacts of introduced macroalgae, we assessed 142 additional publications to describe species’ impacts as well as to ...

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,

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 ...

Thirty years of invasion: the distribution of the invasive crayfish Procambarus clarkii in Italy [PDF]

, 2020
The presence of the red swamp crayfish Procambarus clarkii in Italy is documented since 1989, but no comprehensive data are available on its spread through time at the national scale. New confirmed records for Procambarus clarkii are continuously arising

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 ...

Increase of an introduced bird competitor in old-growth forest associated with restoration [PDF]

, 2012
Many successful invasions involve long initial periods in which the invader exists at low densities followed by sudden population increases. The reasons for such time-lags remain poorly understood.

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.

Boom‐bust dynamics in biological invasions: towards an improved application of the concept [PDF]

, 2017
Boom‐bust dynamics – the rise of a population to outbreak levels, followed by a dramatic decline – have been associated with biological invasions and offered as a reason not to manage troublesome invaders.
