Trade and socioeconomic importance of an invasive giant snail in the endemic‐rich island of São Tomé, Central Africa

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 5, October 2024.
Abstract Managing invasive species is crucial to mitigate their negative impacts on ecosystems, yet conflicts may arise when their social benefits are disregarded. Human pressure on the endemic‐rich forests of São Tomé has been high since the island was discovered by the Portuguese in the 15th century, and numerous species have been introduced.

The specialised buzz pollination syndrome poses a partial barrier to plant invasions

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 112, Issue 8, Page 1686-1700, August 2024.
We found that plants that exhibit traits consistent with the buzz‐pollination syndrome are underrepresented as invasive species across the globe. Our result suggests that the specialist buzz‐pollination syndrome poses a partial barrier to plant invasions. Our review also highlighted six alternative insect behaviours that can enable invasive plants with

The potential influence of genome‐wide adaptive divergence on conservation translocation outcome in an isolated greater sage‐grouse population

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 4, August 2024.
Abstract Conservation translocations are an important conservation tool commonly employed to augment declining or reestablish extirpated populations. One goal of augmentation is to increase genetic diversity and reduce the risk of inbreeding depression (i.e., genetic rescue).

Especies nativas e introducidas del complejo Bemisia tabaci en cultivos de batata de Argentina

open access: yes, 2014
Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam) is one of the most important crops worldwide. Recently, the appearance of severe viral symptoms has been observed in sweet potato crops in the pampas region of Argentina and both begomovirus and crinivirus, exclusively transmitted by whiteflies, have been identified.

Modeling the risk of aquatic species invasion spread through boater movements and river connections

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 4, August 2024.
Abstract Aquatic invasive species (AIS) are one of the greatest threats to the functioning of aquatic ecosystems worldwide. Once an invasive species has been introduced to a new region, many governments develop management strategies to reduce further spread.

Resource partitioning in a novel herbivore assemblage in South America

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 93, Issue 5, Page 606-618, May 2024.
DNA metabarcoding was used to reveal differences in herbivory strategy among large herbivores at an Argentinian rewilding site. Based on diet composition, we find little evidence for resource competition between species. Instead, recently reintroduced native species and historically introduced non‐natives are likely expanding the range of herbivory ...

Leucaena lanceolata S. Watson ssp. lanceolata, ESPECIE FORESTAL CON POTENCIAL PARA SER INTRODUCIDA EN SISTEMAS SILVOPASTORILES

open access: yesRevista Chapingo Serie Ciencias Forestales y del Ambiente, 2013
La utilización de especies forestales en los sistemas de producción agropecuaria contribuye a reducir la presión en los bosques naturales y se pueden incorporar en áreas no arboladas. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar la calidad nutritiva, germinación, desarrollo de plántula en vivero y diversidad de usos de Leucaena lanceolata S. Watson ssp.

Plant geographic distribution influences chemical defences in native and introduced Plantago lanceolata populations

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 38, Issue 4, Page 883-896, April 2024.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plants growing outside their native range may be confronted by new regimes of herbivory, but how this affects plant chemical defence profiles has rarely been studied.
