Animal Conservation, Volume 26, Issue 6, Page 813-825, December 2023., 2023 Iguanas are native to all Lesser Antillean islands, where they are among the most important keystone species within the threatened Caribbean dry‐forest biome. However, several populations have already become extinct and all but two remaining island populations are under direct threat of hybridization with non‐native iguanas.

Identifying links between the biodiversity impacts and monetary costs of alien birds
People and Nature, Volume 5, Issue 5, Page 1561-1576, October 2023., 2023 Abstract Alien species can be damaging to native biodiversity, human well‐being and the economy. Identifying the complete range of impacts they cause, and the ways that these impacts are connected, may inform the prioritisation of management actions to mitigate impacts.

Disgust in animals and the application of disease avoidance to wildlife management and conservation
Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 92, Issue 8, Page 1489-1508, August 2023., 2023 The authors review disease avoidance strategies recorded in wild animals, and provide examples of contemporary methods used across the disciplines of ecology to the study of the adaptive system of disgust in nature. Going further, this review proposes applications of disgust and disease avoidance in different contexts of wildlife management and ...

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 61, Issue 2, Page 277-288, June 2023., 2023 Abstract In this study, we tested the hypothesis that photosynthetic characteristics contributed to the success and spread of the invasive, C3 perennial weed, Chromolaena odorata (L.) R. M. King & H. Rob. Measurements of gas exchange, chlorophyll fluorescence and water relations parameters were taken in summer and winter, as well as in sun and shade ...

The effects of the invasive species, Lantana camara, on regeneration of an African rainforest
African Journal of Ecology, Volume 61, Issue 2, Page 451-460, June 2023., 2023 Abstract Invasive plants adversely affect native communities by altering ecosystem function and disrupting natural regeneration. We investigate the effect of invasive Lantana camara L. (Verbenaceae) on forest regeneration in Kibale National Park, Uganda.

Salvinia plants in trade: what species are we actually talking about?
EPPO Bulletin, Volume 53, Issue 1, Page 108-116, April 2023., 2023 Abstract Incorrect labelling of plants in trade and misidentification are widespread. Likewise, in trade numerous names are being used for the ornamental aquatic plant known as ‘Kariba weed’, but rarely the correct scientific name Salvinia molesta Mitch. For inspection services of EPPO member countries, correct identification of S.

Genetic diversity of rodent species sold in South African pet shops
African Journal of Ecology, Volume 61, Issue 1, Page 89-101, March 2023., 2023 Abstract Murid rodents are considered globally important invasive species, yet they are still sold in the pet trade. Little is known about the genetic diversity of traded rodents, and many species are incorrectly identified in the pet trade. We used mitochondrial gene regions to assess the taxonomy and genetic diversity of 149 rodents sold in pet shops

An assessment of avian species sold in the South African pet trade
African Journal of Ecology, Volume 60, Issue 4, Page 980-995, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Non‐native species have been translocated from their native to new geographic ranges through the pet trade. Consequently, some become threatened with extinction, while some establish and become invasive. We surveyed 117 physical pet stores across South Africa between September 2018 and September 2019 to determine avian species composition ...

Impacts of herbivory by ecological replacements on an island ecosystem
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 59, Issue 9, Page 2245-2261, September 2022., 2022 Due to a negative correlation in tortoise and skink dietary preferences and minimal overlap in the most frequently consumed taxa, the presence of tortoises is unlikely to have detrimental impacts on Telfair's skinks. Tortoise presence is likely to be beneficial to skinks in the long term by increasing the extent of palm‐rich habitat. Although tortoises
