Evolutionary Dynamics of Predator-Prey Systems: An Ecological Perspective [PDF]
, 1996 Evolution takes place in an evolutionary setting that typically involves interactions with other organisms. To describe such evolution, a structure is needed which incorporates the simultaneous evolution of interacting species.

Global Ecology and ConservationInvasive plant species pose a significant threat to the integrity and biodiversity of local ecosystems. Microplastic pollution and nitrogen deposition, as detrimental consequences of human activities, impact the growth of wetland plants.

Regime shift by an exotic nitrogen-fixing shrub mediates plant facilitation in primary succession.
PLoS ONE, 2015 Ecosystem invasion by non-native, nitrogen-fixing species is a global phenomenon with serious ecological consequences. However, in the Mediterranean basin few studies addressed the impact of invasion by nitrogen-fixing shrubs on soil quality and ...

Universal Power Laws Govern Intermittent Rarity in Communities of Interacting Species [PDF]
, 1998 The temporal dynamics of many populations involve intermittent rarity, that is, the alternation, over variable periods of time, of phases of extremely low abundance, and short outbreaks.

Effects of temporal variability on rare plant persistence in annual [PDF]
, 2004 Traditional conservation biology regards environmental fluctuations as detrimental to persistence, reducing long-term average growth rates and increasing the probability of extinction.

Positive diversity-invasibility relationship in species-rich semi-natural grassland at the neighbourhood scale [PDF]
, 2017 Background and Aims Attempts to answer the old question of whether high diversity causes high invasion resistance have resulted in an invasion paradox: while large-scale studies often find a positive relationship between diversity and invasibility, small-

Frontiers in Plant ScienceIntroductionFreshwater ecosystems are susceptible to invasion by alien macrophytes due to their connectivity and various plant dispersal vectors. These ecosystems often experience anthropogenic nutrient enrichment, favouring invasive species that ...
