Biological invasions: a global assessment of geographic distributions, long-term trends, and data gaps. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Biological invasions are one of the major drivers of biodiversity decline and have been shown to have far‐reaching consequences for society and the economy. Preventing the introduction and spread of alien species represents the most effective solution to reducing their impacts on nature and human well‐being.

Global coordination and standardisation in marine biodiversity through the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) and related databases. [PDF]
The World Register of Marine Species is an over 90% complete open-access inventory of all marine species names. Here we illustrate the scale of the problems with species names, synonyms, and their classification, and describe how WoRMS publishes online ...

AN OVERVIEW OF BRYOPHYTES DIVISION [PDF]
Bryophyte is a non-vascular plant, consisting of three classes: mosses, hornworts, and liverworts. The body forms have a thallus, and some have a leaf-like organ. The class division of the Bryophyte division is base on anatomical and morphological traits,

Ecosystem vulnerability to alien and invasive species: a case study on marine habitats along the Italian coast [PDF]
1. Spread of alien species (AS) is a serious threat to marine habitats and analysis of principal descriptors of their occurrence is pivotal to set reliable conservation strategies. 2. In order to assess the susceptibility of marine habitats to biological

Texas coastal zone biotopes : an ecography : interim report for the Bay and Estuary Management Program (CRMP) [PDF]
November 1972Because esthetics, biological environment and physiography are so interrelated and have changeable meanings in various environments, we are obligated to think of the environment in terms of biological change, as environmental protection is ...

Water redistribution determines photosynthetic responses to warming and drying in two polar mosses [PDF]
Predicting impacts of climate change requires an understanding of the sensitivity of species to temperature, including conflated changes in humidity. Physiological responses to temperature and clump-to-air vapour pressure difference (VPD) were compared ...

An analysis of the community composition of the Xiphophora gladiata dominated subzone of the Tasmanian sublittoral fringe [PDF]
The rocky shore sublittoral fringe of the oceanic coasts of Tasmania contains a subzone dominated by the large brown alga Xiphophora gladiata. The community composition of this subzone is here examined at fourteen sites. The phytal and faunal assemblages

A new species of the problematic organism Webbyites from the Early Ordovician Fezouata Biota of Morocco [PDF]
The problematic colonial organism Webbyites has previously been considered to be a hydroid (phylum Cnidaria). In this paper, we describe a new species, Webbyites felix sp. nov., from the Early Ordovician Fezouata Konservat-Lagerstätte of Morocco.
