BMC Ecology / Herbivory of an invasive slug is affected by earthworms and the composition of plant communities [PDF]
, 2013 Background: Biodiversity loss and species invasions are among the most important human-induced global changes. Moreover, these two processes are interlinked as ecosystem invasibility is considered to increase with decreasing biodiversity.

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Dispersal is a complex process that affects all living organisms, with the settlement phase being particularly critical. This phase depends on the interaction between the environmental conditions of the new habitat and the biological traits of both resident and immigrant populations.

Species richness both impedes and promotes alien plant invasions in the Brazilian Cerrado
Scientific Reports, 2020 Worldwide, alien plant invasions have been intensively studied in the past decades, but mechanisms controlling the invasibility of native communities are not fully understood yet.

Ecosphere, 2021 Changing climatic conditions prompt concerns about vegetation response to disturbance under future compared to past conditions. In this long‐term study, we examined soil climate and vegetation differences at lower, mid, and upper elevations in two ...

Cross‐scale interactions mediate local drivers of nonnative species richness
Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 4, April 2026.Many well‐supported hypotheses seek to explain drivers of nonnative species richness across spatial scales, but evidence for common patterns among regions and taxa remains inconclusive. This study investigates why consistent patterns are elusive by estimating and assessing cross‐scale interactions, wherein large‐scale factors contextualize patterns ...

Experimental evidence that evolutionary relatedness does not affect the ecological mechanisms of coexistence in freshwater green algae [PDF]
, 2013 The coexistence of competing species depends on the balance between their fitness differences, which determine their competitive inequalities, and their niche differences, which stabilise their competitive interactions.

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract A foundational challenge in disease ecology is understanding how pathogens invade and persist on spatiotemporally heterogeneous landscapes. For example, SARS‐CoV‐2 (SCV2) is a viral pathogen of importance to human health that can also infect wildlife.

Incorporating the soil environment and microbial community into plant competition theory
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015 Plants affect microbial communities and abiotic properties of nearby soils, which in turn influence plant growth and interspecific interaction, forming a plant-soil feedback (PSF). PSF is a key determinant influencing plant population dynamics, community

What affects the probability of biological invasions in Antarctica? Using an expanded conceptual framework to anticipate the risk of alien species expansion [PDF]
, 2018 Successful alien species invasion depends on many factors studied mostly in post invasion habitats, and subsequently summarized in frameworks tailored to describe the studied invasion.

Response of Native Insect Communities to Invasive Plants
Annual Review of Entomology, 2014 Invasive plants can disrupt a range of trophic interactions in native communities. As a novel resource they can affect the performance of native insect herbivores and their natural enemies such as parasitoids and predators, and this can lead to host shifts of these herbivores and natural enemies.
