Invasion of alien plants in fire-damaged forests at southern boundary of the taiga zone

Forest Systems, 2016
Aim of study: Biological invasions are one of the most important areas of forest research. In this study, we revealed invasibility of fire-damaged forests at the southern boundary of the taiga zone.

Invasive neurostimulation [PDF]

The Journal of Headache and Pain, 2015
Chronic migraine afflicts 1-5% of the global population and poses a substantial burden on subjects’ quality of life and on health services utilization [1]. Although most patients benefit from abortive and preventive drugs, a subgroup of patients remains refractory to treatment. Refractory chronic migraine is one of the greatest chal- lenges in headache

Does biotic resistance govern forest invasions by bark and ambrosia beetles?

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 3, March 2026.
The theory of biotic resistance states that community diversity promotes resistance to biological invasions. This theory has been widely explored for its ability to explain variation in habitat invasibility to non‐native plant species and while the theory holds in some systems, it does not in others.

Traits linked with species invasiveness and community invasibility vary with time, stage and indicator of invasion in a long-term grassland experiment.

Ecology Letters, 2019
Much uncertainty remains about traits linked with successful invasion - the establishment and spread of non-resident species into existing communities.

How Does an Invasive Cyprinid Benefit from the Hydrological Disturbance of Mediterranean Temporary Streams?

Diversity, 2018
The Iberian Peninsula has been subjected to numerous fish introductions and the colonization of new areas by non-native species is constantly reported. However, there is a lack of knowledge about many aspects of the bio-ecology of these species and their

Does regional species diversity resist biotic invasions?

Plant Diversity, 2023
The role of regional species diversity in large-scale species invasions has been largely controversial. On the one hand, it has been proposed that diversity may facilitate invasion (“diversity begets diversity”) because regions with higher diversity may ...

Nitrogen immobilization may reduce invasibility of nutrient enriched plant community invaded by Phragmites australis

Scientific Reports, 2020
Nutrient enrichment, particularly nitrogen, is an important determinant of plant community productivity, diversity and invasibility in a wetland ecosystem. It may contribute to increasing colonization and dominance of invasive species, such as Phragmites

Comparing the power of phylogenetic, trait and network structure information to predict plant–frugivore interactions

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 3, March 2026.
Due to the constraints of limited effort and sampling error, observed species interaction networks are an imperfect representation of the ‘true' underlying community. Link prediction methods allow us to construct a potentially more complete representation of a given empirical network by guiding targeted sampling of predicted links, as well as offer ...

Herbivory and allelopathy contribute jointly to the diversity-invasibility relationship.

Ecology
Although herbivory and allelopathy play important roles in plant invasions, their roles in mediating the effect of plant diversity on invasion resistance remain unknown.

The Relationship between Fungal Diversity and Invasibility of a Foliar Niche—The Case of Ash Dieback

Journal of Fungi, 2020
European ash (Fraxinus excelsior) is threatened by the invasive ascomycete Hymenoscyphus fraxineus originating from Asia. Ash leaf tissues serve as a route for shoot infection but also as a sporulation substrate for this pathogen.
