Understanding trade pathways to target biosecurity surveillance [PDF]

NeoBiota, 2013
Increasing trends in global trade make it extremely difficult to prevent the entry of all potential invasive species (IS). Establishing early detection strategies thus becomes an important part of the continuum used to reduce the introduction of invasive

Competition mode and soil nutrient status shape the role of soil microbes in the diversity–invasibility relationship [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Understanding the relationship between plant diversity and invasibility is essential in invasion ecology. Species‐rich communities are hypothesized to be more resistant to invasions than species‐poor communities. However, while soil microorganisms play a

Mathematical Modelling and Intuition in Microbiology: A Perspective. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol
Mathematical modelling in microbiology converts verbal reasoning into internally consistent hypotheses that can provide testable predictions, infer hidden parameters, and generate transferable intuition. By selecting an appropriate level of description, researchers can connect data to explanatory principles.

Coexistence of Photosynthetic Marine Microorganisms, Viruses and Grazers: Towards Integration in Ocean Ecosystem Models. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol
Our study explores coexistence regimes of a virus and a zooplankton with a single phytoplankton for different model structures (left panel). The inclusion of an infected class and a resistant class is sufficient to generate coexistence regimes (middle panel). Using algebraic solutions, we optimise our model emphasising the importance of including viral

Early Assessment of the Invasiveness of the Alien Plant <i>Vernonia amygdalina</i> Del. Introduced in China. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study evaluates the invasion potential of Vernonia amygdalina by synthesizing evidence on its taxonomic background, morphological and life‐history traits, reproductive strategies, allelopathic effects, defense mechanisms, climatic suitability, and human‐mediated introduction and cultivation practices.

Modeling Hawaiian ecosystem degradation due to invasive plants under current and future climates. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Occupation of native ecosystems by invasive plant species alters their structure and/or function. In Hawaii, a subset of introduced plants is regarded as extremely harmful due to competitive ability, ecosystem modification, and biogeochemical habitat ...

Invasibility of Common Plant Community Types of the Middle Urals

Diversity, 2023
This paper specifies the invasibility of common plant community types in the natural habitats of the Middle Urals. Invasibility was defined as the vulnerability of a community to alien plant species invasions, regardless of the conditions in which the ...

Quantifying invasibility [PDF]

Ecology Letters, 2021
Invasibility, the chance of a population to grow from rarity and to establish a large-abundance colony, plays a fundamental role in population genetics, ecology, and evolution. For many decades, the mean growth rate when rare has been employed as an invasion criterion.

Effects of species richness and nutrient availability on the invasibility of experimental microalgal microcosms

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2022
The relationship between biological diversity and community invasibility is a central theme in ecological research. It is often assumed that such relationship is negative at small scales but positive at large scales, with a shift of the major driving ...

Simplified minimally invasive invasive parathyroidectomy [PDF]

The Annals of The Royal College of Surgeons of England, 2011
We agree with Wong et al that minimally invasive parathyroidectomy (MIP) is a safe and effective option in selected patients (approximately 50% of those with primary hyperparathyroidism) but would like to comment on some aspects of methodology and conclusions as reported in their case series. The authors quote a reference from 20031 to support their
