Consensus and controversy in the discipline of invasion science. [PDF]
Conserv Biol, 2022 Abstract Approaches, values, and perceptions in invasion science are highly dynamic, and like in other disciplines, views among different people can diverge. This has led to debate in the field specifically surrounding the core themes of values, management, impacts, and terminology.

Complex and Dynamic Effects of an Extreme Low Temperature Weather Event on Invasive Plant Populations and Resident Communities. [PDF]
Glob Chang BiolInvasive plant species might benefit more from climate change, though evidence for that is not clear. Here, we show that the effects of a low‐temperature extreme weather event can result in a dramatic reduction in both vegetative and reproductive growth of invasive populations of Gunnera tinctoria (giant rhubarb) in the west of Ireland.

Conservation priorities for functionally unique and specialized terrestrial vertebrates threatened by biological invasions. [PDF]
Conserv BiolAbstract Invasive non‐native species (INS) continue to pose a significant threat to biodiversity, including native population declines, which can ultimately disrupt ecosystem processes. Although there is growing evidence of the impacts of INS on functional diversity, most of the existing approaches to prioritization of species for conservation still ...

Insights from experiences comanaging woody invasive alien plants in Argentina
Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 4, Issue 4, October–December 2023., 2023 The complexities of invasive alien species (IAS) management call for a close collaboration among stakeholders to comanage effective solutions. Based on a SWOT analysis, we identified personal motivations as the main force that helps to overcome barriers to to IAS comanagement in Argentina. We recommend the development of spaces to share experiences and

Wild herbivores enhance resistance to invasion by exotic cacti in an African savanna
Journal of Ecology, Volume 111, Issue 1, Page 33-44, January 2023., 2023 Our experimental and observational findings that wild herbivores confer resistance to invasion by exotic cacti add to evidence that conserving and restoring native herbivore assemblages (particularly megaherbivores) can increase community resistance to plant invasions. Photo credit: Gustavo Lozada (same for potential cover image). Abstract Whether wild

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 3, Issue 1, January–March 2022., 2022 Pine invasion reduced native species abundance, plant cover, richness and diversity, with an increase over time since invasion. Species diversity and richness were lower in the managed area than in the area that had not been invaded. Restoration activities are therefore required to increase native species diversity.

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 27, Issue 10, Page 2003-2015, October 2021., 2021 Abstract Aim DNA metabarcoding has great potential to improve biomonitoring in island's marine ecosystems, which are highly vulnerable to global change and non‐indigenous species (NIS) introductions. However, the depth and accuracy of the taxonomic identifications are mainly dependent on reference libraries containing representative and reliable ...

Plant pirates of the Caribbean: is Cuba sheltered by its revolutionary economy?
Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, Volume 19, Issue 4, Page 208-215, May 2021., 2021 Cuba – a large, habitat‐rich island that has cultivated economic self‐sufficiency – is tethered between contrasting predictions of non‐native species diversity. A high capacity for colonization is prognosticated by its biogeography; muted introduction of organisms is predicted by its low dependence on imports and tourism, as economic openness is ...

People and Nature, Volume 2, Issue 1, Page 235-250, March 2020., 2020 Abstract Free‐ranging domestic cats Felis catus, from owned pets to feral cats, impact biodiversity through predation, fear effects, competition, disease and hybridization. Scientific knowledge regarding these impacts has recently increased, making it timely to assess the role of nature conservation legislation in this connection.
