Stage-based biotic resistance to a non-native species [PDF]

NeoBiota
Biotic resistance theory posits a negative relationship between diversity and invasibility. The mechanisms behind this can be variable, but studies are often focused on competition between many resident and introduced species. However, individual species

Six central questions about biological invasions to which NEON data science is poised to contribute

Ecosphere, 2021
Biological invasions are a leading cause of rapid ecological change and often present a significant financial burden. As a vibrant discipline, invasion biology has made important strides in identifying, mapping, and beginning to manage invasions, but ...

Relationships between community composition, productivity and invasion resistance in semi-natural bacterial microcosms

eLife, 2021
Common garden experiments that inoculate a standardised growth medium with synthetic microbial communities (i.e. constructed from individual isolates or using dilution cultures) suggest that the ability of the community to resist invasions by additional ...

Predicting spring barley yield from variety-specific yield potential, disease resistance and straw length, and from environment-specific disease loads and weed pressure [PDF]

, 2008
For low-input crop production, well-characterised varieties increase the possibilities of managing diseases and weeds. This analysis aims at developing a framework for analyzing grain yield using external varietal information about disease resistance ...

Asymmetric somatic plant hybridization : status and applications [PDF]

, 2013
To create asymmetric somatic hybrids, the genome of the so-called donor protoplast is fragmented prior to protoplast fusion. As a result, only a limited amount of the donor genome is transferred to the fusion product.

Resistance is futile: lack of predator switching and a preference for native prey predict the success of an invasive prey species [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2018
Invasive species continue to severely impact biodiversity, yet predicting the success or failure of introduced species has remained elusive. In particular, the relationship between community invasibility and native species diversity remains obscure. Here,

The effect of environmental heterogeneity on RPW8-mediated resistance to powdery mildews in Arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]

, 2012
Background and Aims: The biotic and abiotic environment of interacting hosts and parasites may vary considerably over small spatial and temporal scales. It is essential to understand how different environments affect host disease resistance because this ...

Biotic resistance to invasion along an estuarine gradient [PDF]

Oecologia, 2010
Biotic resistance is the ability of native communities to repel the establishment of invasive species. Predation by native species may confer biotic resistance to communities, but the environmental context under which this form of biotic resistance occurs is not well understood.

Megaherbivores provide biotic resistance against alien plant dominance

Nature Ecology & Evolution, 2023
These dataset are associated to the paper 'Megaherbivores provide biotic resistance against alien plant dominance' (Mungi et al. 2023). The dataset are resulted from a large-scale intensive biodiversity assessment conducted across tropical ecosystems in India, using various methods like camera trapping and vegetation inventory.

Environmental stress mediates trophic cascade strength and resistance to invasion

Ecosphere, 2016
Although much attention has focused on the drivers of trophic cascade strength among systems (e.g., habitat type, body size, predator, and prey thermy) comparatively little is known of how trophic cascades change within systems, especially with respect ...
