The fluctuating resource hypothesis explains invasibility, but not exotic advantage following disturbance

Ecology, 2018
Invasibility is a key indicator of community susceptibility to changes in structure and function. The fluctuating resource hypothesis (FRH) postulates that invasibility is an emergent community property, a manifestation of multiple processes that cannot ...

Do Habitats Show a Different Invasibility Pattern by Alien Plant Species? A Test on a Wetland Protected Area

Diversity, 2020
Biological invasions are deemed to be the second most important global driver of biodiversity loss, right behind habitat destruction and fragmentation. In this study, we aimed at testing if community invasibility, defined as the vulnerability to invasion

Ecological Effects of <i>Solanum rostratum</i> Invasion on the Diversity and Functional Traits of Native Plant Communities. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
The invasion of Solanum rostratum exerts stage‐dependent effects on native plant communities. The study found that at low invasion levels, it temporarily enhances native plant diversity and community stability through resource complementarity; whereas at high invasion levels, it shifts to strong competitive inhibition, leading to a sharp decline in ...

A practical guide to characterising ecological coexistence. [PDF]

Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc
ABSTRACT Coexistence is simultaneously one of the most fundamental concepts of ecology, and one of the most difficult to define. A particular challenge is that, despite a well‐developed body of research, several different schools of thought have developed over the past century, leading to multiple independent, and largely isolated, branches of ...

Minimally Invasive Floating Metatarsal Osteotomy for Diabetic Foot Ulcers: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. [PDF]

Wound Repair Regen
ABSTRACT Minimally invasive floating metatarsal osteotomy has been proposed as a surgical strategy to address recurrent or persistent diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) by correcting underlying biomechanical deformities. We conducted a systematic review and meta‐analysis in accordance with PRISMA guidelines, querying four databases through September 2025 for ...

Social and structural traits influence species gains while resources influence species losses in a native grassland. [PDF]

Ecology
Abstract Multiple factors influence temporal species turnover, including resource requirements and species traits. The standard model in plant ecology is that adding soil nutrients will result in taller communities, reducing understory light levels and leading to species loss via size‐asymmetric competition. However, underlying this model is the notion

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 ...

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

Scale dependency in native–exotic richness relationships revisited

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
In their seminal paper, Shea and Chesson (Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2002, 17, 170) developed a highly cited model (S&C model) showing scale dependency in the native–exotic richness relationships.

Effects of Soil Nutrient Heterogeneity on the Growth and Invasion Success of Alien Plants: A Multi-Species Study

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Spatial heterogeneity in soil nutrient availability can influence performance of invasive plant species under competition-free environments. However, little was known about whether invasive plants perform better under heterogeneous than under homogeneous
