Co-invasion of three invasive alien plants increases plant taxonomic diversity and community invasibility [PDF]

Plant Diversity
Alien species from the Asteraceae family frequently invade native plant communities. This study aims to determine how the number of Asteraceae species (i.e., Erigeron canadensis, E.

Species invasiveness and community invasibility of North American freshwater fish fauna revealed via trait-based analysis [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2023
While biological invasions are recognized as a major threat to global biodiversity, determining non-native species’ abilities to establish in new areas (species invasiveness) and the vulnerability of those areas to invasions (community invasibility) is ...

Effects of Different Degrees of Xanthium spinosum Invasion on the Invasibility of Plant Communities in the Yili Grassland of Northwest China [PDF]

Biology, 2023
Studying the effects of different degrees of exotic plant invasion on native plants’ community structure and plant diversity is essential for evaluating the harm caused to ecosystems by plant invasion.

Increased Leaf Bacterial Network Complexity along the Native Plant Diversity Gradient Facilitates Plant Invasion? [PDF]

Plants, 2023
Understanding the mechanisms of biological invasion is critical to biodiversity protection. Previous studies have produced inconsistent relationships between native species richness and invasibility, referred to as the invasion paradox.

Stage-dependent shifts in native and invasive traits mediate community invasibility in subtropical urban ecosystems [PDF]

Plant Diversity
Biological invasions threaten biodiversity and ecosystem stability through stage-dependent functional trait mediation. However, the mechanistic linkages between invasion intensity and multidimensional functional traits remain inadequately characterized ...

Does the Species Number of Invasive Plants Regulate the Intensity of Interspecific Interactions Among Multiple Plants Under Different Invasion Scenarios? [PDF]

Plants
Multiple invasive plants (IPS) can coexist in the same community. The intensity of interspecific interactions among multiple plants may progressively alter with the differences in the species number of IPS (Si) under different invasion scenarios. However,

Mathematical Modelling and Intuition in Microbiology: A Perspective. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol
Mathematical modelling in microbiology converts verbal reasoning into internally consistent hypotheses that can provide testable predictions, infer hidden parameters, and generate transferable intuition. By selecting an appropriate level of description, researchers can connect data to explanatory principles.

Plant interactions can lead to emergent relationships between plant community diversity, productivity and vulnerability to invasion [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Understanding what makes a community vulnerable to invasion is integral to the successful management of invasive species. Our understanding of how characteristics of resident plant interactions, such as the network architecture of interactions, can ...

Coexistence of Photosynthetic Marine Microorganisms, Viruses and Grazers: Towards Integration in Ocean Ecosystem Models. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol
Our study explores coexistence regimes of a virus and a zooplankton with a single phytoplankton for different model structures (left panel). The inclusion of an infected class and a resistant class is sufficient to generate coexistence regimes (middle panel). Using algebraic solutions, we optimise our model emphasising the importance of including viral

Social and structural traits influence species gains while resources influence species losses in a native grassland. [PDF]

Ecology
Abstract Multiple factors influence temporal species turnover, including resource requirements and species traits. The standard model in plant ecology is that adding soil nutrients will result in taller communities, reducing understory light levels and leading to species loss via size‐asymmetric competition. However, underlying this model is the notion
