Rates of species introduction to a remote oceanic island [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings 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.

Morphological Variety in Distoseptispora and Introduction of Six Novel Species

open access: yesJournal 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

open access: yesDiversity 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

open access: yesForestry: 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.

Introduction pathways of economically costly invasive alien species

open access: yesBiological 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

open access: yesProceedings 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 ...

Critical review on the re-introduction of flagship species [PDF]

open access: yesSciences, 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 ...

ITRAQ Proteomic Analysis of Yellow and Black Skin in Jinbian Carp (Cyprinus carpio)

open access: yesLife, 2020
Colors are important phenotypic traits for fitness under natural conditions in vertebrates. Previous studies have reported several functional genes and genetic variations of pigmentation, but the formation mechanisms of various skin coloration remained ...
