Sex determination in Bonellia viridis (Echiura : Bonelliidae) : population dynamics and evolution [PDF]
In the echiuran worm Bonellia viridis Rolando, the vast majority of sexually undifferentiated larvae metamorphose into dwarf males that live inside the female when exposed to females, but differentiate into females when developing in the absence of ...

Genetic Identity and Herbivory Drive the Invasion of a Common Aquatic Microbial Invader
Despite the increasing number of species invasions, the factors driving invasiveness are still under debate. This is particularly the case for “invisible” invasions by aquatic microbial species.

Persistence in fluctuating environments [PDF]
Understanding under what conditions interacting populations, whether they be plants, animals, or viral particles, coexist is a question of theoretical and practical importance in population biology. Both biotic interactions and environmental fluctuations

Graminoid Invasion in an Insular Endemism Hotspot and Its Protected Areas
Invasive plant species are increasingly altering species composition and the functioning of ecosystems from a local to a global scale. The grass species Pennisetum setaceum has recently raised concerns as an invader on different archipelagos worldwide ...

Environmental factors affecting the success of exotic plant invasion in a wildland-urban ecotone in temperate South America [PDF]
Urbanization is one of the main causes driving changes in biodiversity patterns and it is regarded as a major threat to native biota. Successful exotic plant invasion depends on invasiveness and invasibility.
