The recent relationship between ultraviolet-B radiation and biotic resistance in plants: a novel non-chemical strategy for managing biotic stresses [PDF]
Plant Signaling & Behavior, 2023 Ultraviolet-B radiation (UVB; 280–315 nm) is a significant environmental factor that alters plant development, changes interactions between species, and reduces the prevalence of pests and diseases.

Biotic resistance predictably shifts microbial invasion regimes [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsInvading new territory is a central aspect of the microbial lifestyle. However, invading microbes rarely find novel territories uninhabited; resident microbes can interact with the newcomers and, in many cases, impede their invasion – an effect known as ‘

Combining two high-density QTL maps with a reference genome to identify candidate genes for morphology, yield, and biotic resistance in faba bean (Vicia faba L.) [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceFaba bean (Vicia faba L.) is a key legume crop for sustainable agriculture, but its improvement is constrained by yield instability and susceptibility to major biotic stresses.

Biotic Stress Resistance in Sweet Potato: Mechanisms, Perspectives, and Sustainable Production Strategies [PDF]
PlantsFood security is increasingly threatened by climate change and population growth. Sweet potato has become a crucial crop for ensuring food security due to its adaptability to marginal lands and high yield potential. However, its sustainable production is

Scale dependency in native–exotic richness relationships revisited
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 In their seminal paper, Shea and Chesson (Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2002, 17, 170) developed a highly cited model (S&C model) showing scale dependency in the native–exotic richness relationships.

Rethinking Biological Invasions as a Metacommunity Problem
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Perhaps more than any other ecological discipline, invasion biology has married the practices of basic science and the application of that science. The conceptual frameworks of population regulation, metapopulations, supply-side ecology, and community ...

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022 Marinas are a gateway for the introduction and establishment of non-indigenous species (NIS). In these habitats, competition and predation are crucial determinants for NIS establishment and invasiveness.

Functional Diversity and Invasive Species Influence Soil Fertility in Experimental Grasslands
Plants, 2020 Ecosystem properties can be positively affected by plant functional diversity and compromised by invasive alien plants. We performed a community assembly study in mesocosms manipulating different functional diversity levels for native grassland plants ...

Non-native plant associations with wildfire, tree removals, and deer in the eastern United States
Landscape Online, 2022 Wildfires, tree removals, and deer herbivory are potential pathways for spread of non-native plants. I modeled the number of recorded nonnative plant species by county compared to wildfire area, tree removals, and deer densities in the eastern United ...
