Seedling Emergence from Seed Banks in Ludwigia hexapetala-Invaded Wetlands: Implications for Restoration [PDF]
Soil seed banks play a critical role in the maintenance of wetland plant communities and contribute to revegetation following disturbances. Analysis of the seed bank can therefore inform restoration planning and management.

Abstract A new species of ghost pipefish, Solenostomus snuffleupagus sp. nov., is described from the Coral Sea based on specimens (18–34 mm SL) collected from coral reef habitats in Queensland, Australia. The species is diagnosed by the following combination of characters: abundant elongate integumentary filaments imparting a conspicuously shaggy ...

The Evolutionarily Dynamics of Aposematism: a Numerical Analysis of Co-Evolution in Finite Populations [PDF]
The majority of species are under predatory risk in their natural habitat and targeted by predators as part of the food web. During the evolution of ecosystems, manifold mechanisms have emerged to avoid predation.

The impacts of biological invasions
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Abstract Alien plants have generally been shown to support reduced arthropod abundance, biomass, and diversity compared to native plant species, but inferences have typically come from studies limited in taxonomic and geographic scope. Here, we make use of data from a unique citizen science project, Caterpillars Count!, that consists of nearly 70,000 ...

To cope with highly stochastic and/or heterogeneous environmental conditions, animals must balance energy resource allocation across physiological processes. The digestive tract and brain exhibit structural variations under strong developmental and selective pressures that vary across environmental gradients both between and within species.

All-metallic wide-angle metasurfaces for multifunctional polarization manipulation
Optical camouflage is a magical capability of animals as first noticed in 1794 by Erasmus Darwin in Zoonomia, but current biomimetic camouflage strategies cannot be readily applied in complex environments involving multispectral and in particular multi ...
