Diversity of Terrestrial Malacofauna, Favorable Habitats, and Relationships With Mollusk Size in Urban Environments of Sergipe, Northeastern Brazil

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
The invasive exotic snail Achatina fulica dominates the terrestrial mollusk community in the city of Aracaju, occurring in all sampled urban habitats and being the most abundant species among the individuals collected. In addition, it exhibited a larger shell size and greater total weight, particularly in back gardens. ABSTRACT Terrestrial mollusks can

Barriers and opportunities for consumption of invasive lionfish in Belize

People and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 11, Page 2777-2793, November 2025.
Abstract Invasive lionfish (Pterois spp.) have rapidly spread across the Western Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea. They reproduce frequently and consume native marine life important to livelihoods and reef health. To combat the deleterious impacts of this species, management efforts in Belize and throughout the invaded range have included development of ...

Widespread negative effects of Leucaena leucocephala (white‐popinac) invasion on regenerating areas of the Atlantic Forest

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 4, October–December 2025.
Fragment of Atlantic Forest (left) naturally regenerating in an abandoned pasture (centre) and being invaded by a large patch of white‐popinac (Leucaena leucocephala; right). This image summarizes the scenario of invasion by white‐popinac that is directly threatening forest regeneration and its native diversity.

Técnicas para controle químico de palmeiras invasoras em Unidade de Conservação na região metropolitana de São Paulo

Biotemas, 2019
Espécies invasoras prejudicam as comunidades vegetais autóctones por eliminar diretamente as espécies nativas ou por inibir a sua regeneração. Há evidências de que as palmeiras exóticas Livistona chinensis e Archontophoenix cunninghamiana, que colonizam

Expanding the Resist–Accept–Direct framework for developing nature‐based solutions and societal adaptations to biological invasions

People and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 7, Page 1505-1520, July 2025.
Abstract Biological invasions threaten biodiversity and human well‐being, making invasive species management a global necessity. Despite substantial investments in engineering‐based management approaches, preventing invasions is becoming harder with rising species introductions.

Early detection strategies for invading tree pests: Targeted surveillance and stakeholder perspectives

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 4, Page 857-871, April 2025.
We provide the first surveillance map for emerald ash borer incursions in GB with potential for deployment by government agencies and stakeholders concerned with biosecurity. Our framework establishes optimal surveillance locations depending on factors, including detection within different timeframes, knowledge certainty of entry pathways and ...

Remove saplings early: Cost‐effective strategies to contain tree invasions and prevent their impacts

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 3, Page 661-676, March 2025.
Our highest‐ranking strategies represent management actions to start implementing in the field as part of an adaptive management plan that iteratively evaluates the validity of our simulation model and updates the management recommendations. Our study can be applied to guide management of invasive pines and replicated with any invasive woody species ...

Modelling alternative management strategies of invasive tree species at the expansion front: Ligustrum lucidum as a case study

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 1, January–March 2025.
The management of invasive non‐native species is a global challenge, particularly for long‐lived trees. Individual‐based models (IBMs) and expert knowledge are valuable tools for evaluating different strategies to control the population dynamics and range expansion of invasive species.

Suppression of reed canarygrass by assisted succession: A sixteen‐year restoration experiment

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 61, Issue 8, Page 1805-1816, August 2024.
Invasive species management and the restoration of target plant communities can be aided by assisting successional trajectories that have stalled. We document a restoration strategy for forests invaded by shade‐intolerant invaders that is both effective and economical, as only a simple site preparation and single planting effort is required ...
