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.

Functional Ecology, Volume 37, Issue 9, Page 2358-2370, September 2023., 2023 Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Understanding the factors responsible for the success of exotic species is a prevalent issue in invasion biology. Although the ecological traits of exotic species are known to play a major role, it is still unknown which traits are responsible for the different ...

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.

Longitudinal vegetation turnover in an eastern Rift Valley riparian corridor
African Journal of Ecology, Volume 60, Issue 1, Page 27-42, March 2022., 2022 Abstract East African riparian corridors are biodiversity hot spots that occur in catchments degrading under deforestation and overgrazing. Quadrats and belt transects were employed to investigate plant succession along the River Gilgil, in the Kenyan Rift Valley. The study found that most species (total 365) were broadly distributed across the tropics,

Quantifying invasion degree by alien plants species in Reunion Island
Austral Ecology, Volume 46, Issue 7, Page 1025-1037, November 2021., 2021 This study aimed to quantify invasion degree by alien plants species in Reunion Island using three different sources of data : data from field survey, expert knowledge and model. Abstract The largest area of intact vegetation in the Mascarene’s archipelago is found on Reunion Island, but the remaining natural areas are under threats.
