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

Soil, competition, and niche shifts shape the floral mosaic of an annual plant diversity hotspot. [PDF]
Am J BotAbstract Premise Plant species with affinity for harsh substrates often have well‐defined edaphic (soil) niches and are ideal for exploring questions of community assembly. Vertic clay soils are chemically and physically challenging to plant establishment and productivity, and annual plant communities associated with these soils of the San Joaquin ...

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.

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

Medical Mycology, 2000 Acute invasive aspergillosis (IA) is a devastating disease. Early diagnosis allowing an early treatment may improve the prognosis. However, this goal remains difficult to achieve. When diagnosis is confirmed it is often already too late. Galactomannan antigen detection and DNA detection are under clinical evaluation to improve early diagnosis and ...

Diversity, 2020 Invasive Alien Species (IAS) are a serious threat to biodiversity, severely affecting natural habitats and species assemblages. However, no consistent empirical evidence emerged on which functional traits or trait combination may foster community ...

Environmental Humanities, 2017 My garden is being invaded by Japanese knotweed, as are those of my neighbors and those of many people who live in other places far from its native East Asia. I keep it more or less under control by eliminating individual extrusions, but I know that I am engaged in an open-ended struggle rather than a campaign leading to possible victory.

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Nitrogen deposition and biological invasion are two major components of global environmental change. Nitrogen deposition has been considered to enhance the resource availability of recipient habitats, which influences the invasiveness of plant invader ...

Ecological theory as a foundation to control pathogenic invasion in aquaculture [PDF]
, 2014 Detrimental host-pathogen interactions are a normal phenomenon in aquaculture animal production, and have been counteracted by prophylactic use of antibiotics. Especially, the youngest life stages of cultivated aquatic animals are susceptible to pathogen

Adaptive delayed reproduction in a 2-dimensional discrete-time competition model
Journal of Biological Dynamics, 2023 This paper studies a 2-dimensional discrete-time competition model of Ricker type with reproductive delay. The model is examined under the assumption that species 1 and 2 have the same properties except that a fraction η of species 1 individuals delays ...
