Genetics and the origin of species: An introduction [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1997 Theodosius Dobzhansky (1900–1975) was a key author of the Synthetic Theory of Evolution, also known as the Modern Synthesis of Evolutionary Theory, which embodies a complex array of biological knowledge centered around Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection couched in genetic terms.

Rates of species introduction to a remote oceanic island [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2003 The introduction of species to areas beyond the limits of their natural distributions has a major homogenizing influence, making previously distinct biotas more similar. The scale of introductions has frequently been commented on, but their rate and spatial pervasiveness have been less well quantified.

Critical review on the re-introduction of flagship species Critical review on the re-introduction of flagship species [PDF]
Sciences, Eaux & Territoires, 2011 The reintroduction of salmon, wolves and bears has been in the news, but do they represent a true restoration of biodiversity? The authors discuss the advantages and limits to such projects, using as an example the re-introduction of salmon in the Rhine ...

Morphological Variety in Distoseptispora and Introduction of Six Novel Species
Journal of Fungi, 2021 Distoseptispora is one of the sporidesmium-like taxa with great variation in asexual morphology and delineation of species. Phylogenetic analyses of four gene regions LSU, ITS, TEF1α, and RPB2 revealed the placement of several sporidesmium-like species ...

Floristic homogenization as a result of the introduction of exotic species in China
Diversity and Distributions: A journal of biological invasions and biodiversity, 2022 The introduction of exotic plants can both increase (homogenize) and decrease (differentiate) floristic similarity between areas. We have a poor understanding of the degree to which plant species introductions tend to homogenize or differentiate floras ...

Climatic criteria for successful introduction of Quercus species identified by use of Arboretum data
Forestry: An International Journal of Forest Research, 2021 Climate change is projected to have a major influence on forest tree populations and composition. Translocation of species outside their historic range has been suggested to maintain healthy forests and tree species.

The role of species introduction in modifying the functional diversity of native communities.
Science of the Total Environment, 2020 Although one of the most evident effects of biological invasions is the loss of native taxonomic diversity, contrasting views exist on the consequences of biological invasions on native functional diversity. We investigated this topic using Mediterranean

Introduction pathways of economically costly invasive alien species
Biological Invasions, 2022 Introduction pathways play a pivotal role in the success of Invasive Alien Species (IAS)—the subset of alien species that have a negative environmental and/or socio-economic impact.

Ecological correlates of species’ roles in highly invaded seed dispersal networks
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021 Significance Species invasions and introductions are reshaping ecosystems around the world. In such novel ecological scenarios, it remains unclear whether crucial ecosystem functions played by lost native species may be partially or fully replaced by ...
