Explaining the variation in impacts of non-native plants on local-scale species richness: the role of phylogenetic relatedness [PDF]

, 2014
Aim: To assess how the magnitude of impacts of non-native plants on species richness of resident plants and animals varies in relation to the traits and phylogenetic position of the non-native as well as characteristics of the invaded site.Location ...

Source population and time spent in captivity affect survival and reproduction of long‐distance translocated northern bobwhites

Animal Conservation, Volume 28, Issue 3, Page 365-379, June 2025.
Long‐distance translocations of northern bobwhites are increasingly used to access source populations with sufficient densities for translocation. This study compared the survival and productivity of bobwhites translocated from the South Texas Plains and the Floridian Coastal Plain to the Floridian Coastal Plain, revealing higher survival and fecundity

Effects on the compressive strength of cement-stabilized rammed earth blocks with varied content of buffelgrass-based fibers in wet-dry conditions

Frontiers in Built Environment
Stabilized rammed earth blocks have been an alternative building material around the world due to their cost efficiency, low embodied energy, and environmental footprints. However, the lower compressive strength and resistance to wearing limits their use

Developing an expert elicited simulation model to evaluate invasive species and fire management alternatives

Ecosphere, 2019
Invasive species can alter ecosystem properties and cause state shifts in landscapes. Resource managers charged with maintaining landscapes require tools to understand implications of alternative actions (or inactions) on landscape structure and function.

Hot child in the city: Drivers of urban buffelgrass presence in Tucson, Arizona

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2025.
Urban environments experience high levels of anthropogenic disturbance and have concentrated human populations, so they are at high risk of invasion by non‐native species like buffelgrass. Here we examine how urban features such as high‐traffic roadways, vacant lots, and alleys influence buffelgrass abundance in residential areas and whether ...

Does Buffelgrass Have a Long Permanence in an Established Pasture? An Analysis of the Population Dynamics of This Exotic Grass in Central Sonora, Mexico

Ecologies
The introduction of exotic forage species to new environments for livestock purposes is a common practice to increase productivity. Unfortunately, the population dynamics of introduced species as well as that of native species that persist in grasslands ...

Exotic grass invasion and wildlife abundance and diversity, South‐Central United States

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2013
Exotic grasses dominate rangelands in parts of the South‐central United States. We reviewed the literature on the effects of exotic grasses on wildlife functional groups and species, and examined the state of the art of managing exotic vegetation in the ...

Pollination biology of Gossypium turneri: Autonomous selfing provides reproductive assurance in an endangered wild cotton from Sonora, Mexico

Plant Species Biology, Volume 39, Issue 5, Page 260-274, September 2024.
Gossypium turneri is a wild cotton that is currently threatened by tourism development and an invasive species. Our results indicate that this species has the ability of autonomous self‐pollination by style curvature, providing reproductive assurance when pollinators are scarce. This finding is relevant as current disturbance might disrupt interactions

Quality of buffelgrass seeds from different harvests

REVISTA DELOS
A obtenção de sementes de alta qualidade depende em grande parte do momento da colheita, que deve ocorrer preferencialmente quando as sementes tiverem completado o processo de maturação fisiológica. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar lotes de sementes de duas cultivares de capim-buffel, colhidas em épocas diferentes.
