Molecular screening of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) genotypes for resistance alleles against important biotic stresses [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Molecular markers are vastly used as tool for screening of disease resistant/tolerant plant genotypes in early stage of growth in an environment-independent manner.

Mechanisms of biotic resistance across complex life cycles [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, 2013
Summary Biotic resistance is the ability of communities to inhibit the establishment, spread or impact of novel species. However, the interactions that underlie biotic resistance depend heavily on the contexts in which species interact. Consequently, studies of biotic resistance that consider single processes, patches, species or life‐history stages ...

Moving Away From Limiting Similarity During Restoration: Timing of Arrival and Native Biomass Are Better Proxies of Invasion Suppression in Grassland Communities

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
A challenge in many restoration projects, in particular when establishing de novo communities, is the arrival and later dominance of invasive alien plants. This could potentially be avoided by designing invasion-resistant native communities.

Alien plant fitness is limited by functional trade‐offs rather than a long‐term increase in competitive effects of native communities

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2023
Alien plants experience novel abiotic conditions and interactions with native communities in the introduced area. Intra‐ and interspecific selection on functional traits in the new environment may lead to increased population growth with time since ...

Invasive Species in Puerto Rico: The View From El Yunque

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Native flora and fauna of Puerto Rico have a long biogeographic connection to South America. Theory and empirical evidence suggest that islands, particularly those distantly isolated from the mainland, should be more susceptible to naturalizations and ...

A citation-based map of concepts in invasion biology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Invasion biology has been quickly expanding in the last decades so that it is now metaphorically flooded with publications, concepts, and hypotheses. Among experts, there is no clear consensus about the relationships between invasion concepts, and almost

Ecological role of transgenerational resistance against biotic threats [PDF]

open access: yesPlant Signaling & Behavior, 2012
Plants in their natural environments are constantly subjected to biotic stress. In addition to possessing physical barriers and anti-nutritive toxins, plants can be primed to respond more efficiently against future attack via faster and stronger gene activation.

Does regional species diversity resist biotic invasions?

open access: yesPlant Diversity, 2023
The role of regional species diversity in large-scale species invasions has been largely controversial. On the one hand, it has been proposed that diversity may facilitate invasion ("diversity begets diversity") because regions with higher diversity may indicate favorable conditions for many more species.

The Invasive Brazilian Pepper Tree (Schinus terebinthifolius) Is Colonized by a Root Microbiome Enriched With Alphaproteobacteria and Unclassified Spartobacteria

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Little is known about the rhizosphere microbiome of the Brazilian pepper tree (BP) – a noxious category 1 invasive plant inducing an enormous economic and ecological toll in Florida.

Native diversity contributes to composition heterogeneity of exotic floras

open access: yesEcosphere, 2023
Variation in species composition among sites (beta diversity) is generally thought to be driven by environmental filtering and dispersal limitation, but the role of biotic interactions has not been sufficiently addressed.
