Biological invasions: a global assessment of geographic distributions, long‐term trends, and data gaps

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2542-2583, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Biological invasions are one of the major drivers of biodiversity decline and have been shown to have far‐reaching consequences for society and the economy. Preventing the introduction and spread of alien species represents the most effective solution to reducing their impacts on nature and human well‐being.

Urban Grassland Plant Communities Assemble According to Productivity and Disturbance Gradients

open access: yesJournal of Vegetation Science, Volume 36, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
The overall variation of urban grasslands is poorly understood. Using a vegetation dataset of 200 urban grasslands in the Helsinki capital region, Finland, we showed that productivity and disturbance were the main drivers of the plant communities. We conclude that long‐term extensive maintenance, reducing nutrients and facilitating dispersal can allow ...

Recognising Seaweeds: Addressing Gaps in International Biodiversity Frameworks for Global Seaweed Conservation

open access: yesSustainable Development, Volume 33, Issue 5, Page 6968-6984, October 2025.
ABSTRACT As anthropogenic pressures increasingly impact marine ecosystems and the biodiversity they support, governance mechanisms for international biodiversity conservation have emerged. Seaweed habitats are important repositories for marine biodiversity, and they provide crucial ecosystem services that support both ocean and human health.
