The contribution of volunteer recorders to our understanding of biological invasions [PDF]
The process of invasion and the desire to predict the invasiveness (and associated impacts) of new arrivals has been a focus of attention for ecologists over centuries.

Interspecific differences of ladybirds (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) in their repellency to ants
Our study found that, unlike those from mealworms, compounds in whole‐body extracts of ladybirds effectively deterred ants. No correlation was found between the degree of aposematic colouration (highly conspicuous vs. less conspicuous) and repellence. Mycophagous ladybird species exhibited levels of protection comparable to predatory species, and large

Entomopathogenic fungi and invasional meltdown [PDF]
Invasive non-native (alien) species are considered to be one of the greatest threats to biodiversity (Millenium Ecosystem Assessment 2005) through predation, competition, hybridisation or as vectors of disease (Hulme et al., 2009). The movement of peole

ABSTRACT Invasive species are an increasing global threat given their ability to rapidly spread and adapt to novel environments. The adverse ecological and economic impacts of invasive species highlight the critical need to understand the mechanisms that underpin invasion processes and success.

Antagonistic interactions between an invasive alien and a native coccinellid species may promote coexistence [PDF]
1. Despite the capacity of invasive alien species to alter ecosystems, the mechanisms underlying their impact remain only partly understood. Invasive alien predators, for example, can significantly disrupt recipient communities by consuming prey species ...

Current stewardship practices in invasion biology limit the value and secondary use of genomic data
Abstract Invasive species threaten native biota, putting fragile ecosystems at risk and having a large‐scale impact on primary industries. Growing trade networks and the popularity of personal travel make incursions a more frequent risk, one only compounded by global climate change.

Photos posted on social media could provide information on species' responses to climate change that is up to date and from areas under‐represented in traditional biological record data. Instagram and iNaturalist data reveal that the Jersey tiger moth, a species that is shifting northwards in Europe, is using urban habitat.
