Plantas exóticas da Paraíba (NE-BR): um levantamento a partir de dados secundários [PDF]
, 2023 Currently, alien plants are the second largest loss of biodiversity in the world, second only to direct human exploitation. Therefore, this work aimed to identify in the literature in the literature and databases the exotic and invasive plants occurring ...

Understanding divergent zoochorous dispersal [PDF]
, 2019 The mechanisms which underpin passive dispersal (zoochory) of organisms (or propagules) by other, usually more mobile animals (vector species), are frequently poorly understood.

Bryo‐zoophily: a new look at the ecology of moss and animal interactions
New Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 63, Issue 5, Page 2275-2299, December 2025.ABSTRACT Interactions between plants and animals often play a major role in the ecology of both partners. While such interactions are well studied in vascular plants such as angiosperms and gymnosperms, they are less well understood in bryophytes. However, an extensive search of the scientific literature reveals several cases of known and suspected ...

Can birds enhance the dispersal of freshwater macrocrustaceans? [PDF]
, 2013 The freshwater crustaceans, Crangonyx pseudogracilis, Atyaephyra desmaresti and Procambarus clarkii (hereby referred to as FCs) are non-native in several areas of their distribution range presumably due to human-mediated introductions.

Primary succession and plant functional traits on an oceanic island
Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 6, Page 1475-1490, June 2025.The Canary Islands island system reflects a directional succession governed by the selection of functional traits related to environmental conditions and acquisitive‐conservative strategies as well as to dispersal capacity in early stages followed by a gradual modification of the environment and an expansion of the niche space linked to functional ...

Plant traits co-vary with altitude in grasslands and forests in the European Alps [PDF]
, 2018 Biological traits that are advantageous under specific ecological conditions should be present in a large proportion of the species within an ecosystem, where those specific conditions prevail.

Shifting baselines and the forgotten giants: integrating megafauna into plant community ecology
Oikos, Volume 2025, Issue 5, May 2025.The extensive, prehistoric loss of megafauna during the last 50 000 years led early naturalists to build the founding theories of ecology based on already‐degraded ecosystems. In this article, we outline how large herbivores affect community ecology, with a special focus on plants, through changes to selection, speciation, drift, and dispersal, thereby

INVESTIGATING BIRDS AS DISPERSAL VECTORS OF LITYLENCHUS CRENATAE SUBSP. MCCANNII (ANGUINIDAE), THE NEMATODE ASSOCIATED WITH BEECH LEAF DISEASE [PDF]
Beech leaf disease (BLD) is an emerging forest pathogen primarily affecting American beech (Fagus grandifolia, Ehrh.) in North America and has been attributed to tree mortality of sapling sized trees within five to seven years of infection.

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 35, Issue 3, March 2025.ABSTRACT The value of recreational anglers' ecological knowledge and perceptions have come to prominence in the past few decades. Based on recent studies, their observations might include those of alien organisms and, therefore, might be particularly important in monitoring and revealing the causes of aquatic invasions.

Global Change Biology, Volume 30, Issue 11, November 2024.Urban birds opportunistically eat fruit from native and alien plants in Helsinki, Finland. As autumns get warmer with climate change, these bird–plant interactions could help alien species spread out of cities to more natural areas. Hence, these need to be studied to understand if some alien species can become invasive in the future.
