Risk assessments of invasive species present one of the most challenging applications of species distribution models (SDMs) due to the fundamental issues of distributional disequilibrium, niche changes, and truncation. Invasive species often occupy only a fraction of their potential environmental and geographic ranges, as their spatiotemporal dynamics ...

Incorporating soil biological and functional attributes to advance ecological restoration
Earth is currently experiencing a mass extinction crisis, predominantly driven by anthropogenic activities, with land use change causing widespread loss and degradation of native ecosystems and indigenous species. There is an urgent need to halt this trend and restore degraded habitat to preserve biodiversity and protect threatened plants and animals ...

A Public Policy Toward the Management of Feral Cats [PDF]
[Excerpt] “This paper examines the current wildlife laws, both federal and state, to determine what laws may apply to managing the feral cat population. It begins with a determination of how domestic cats are classified under these laws.

ABSTRACT This study presents the first integrated analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), fatty acids, and cultivable bacteriota in whole‐body spider specimens, combining HS‐SPME‐GC/MS, GC/MS, and MALDI‐TOF‐MS. A total of 100 spiders from five synanthropic species, Steatoda opiliones, S. bipunctata, S.

Low‐Temperature Reverse Water–Gas Shift Enabled by Magnetically Induced Catalysis
Magnetically induced catalysis using standard Cu–Al spinel‐derived catalyst functionalized with carbon‐coated iron nanoparticles enables high CO yield (up to 62%) at mild catalyst and reactor temperatures (estimated at 300°C and determined as 25–123°C, respectively).

Imported fire ants (Order Hymenoptera, Family Formicidae) (IFA) are social insects representing two South American ant species: the red imported fire ant (Solenopsis invicta Buren) and black imported fire ant (Solenopsis richteri Forel), along with their hybrid offspring. IFA are native to South America, where their colonies are kept in check by native

This study demonstrates the ecological value of natural regeneration in the Brazilian Cerrado by analysing the biomass, richness and trophic structure of leaf litter insects across pasture (P), regenerating (R) and native (N) areas. We found that R areas supported insect communities more similar to N habitats than to Ps, with higher richness, greater ...

Integrating ecological feedbacks across scales and levels of organization
In ecosystems, species interact in various ways with other species, and with their local environment. In addition, ecosystems are coupled in space by diverse types of flows. From these links connecting different ecological entities can emerge circular pathways of indirect effects: feedback loops.
