Weed Research, Volume 66, Issue 3, May/June 2026.ABSTRACT Crassula helmsii (Kirk) Cockayne is an invasive aquatic species increasingly colonising European freshwaters and wetlands. Despite its rapid spread, the mechanisms underlying its establishment remain poorly understood. This study experimentally assessed the effects of propagule pressure, native plant competition, temperature and soil moisture ...

Cross‐scale interactions mediate local drivers of nonnative species richness
Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 4, April 2026.Many well‐supported hypotheses seek to explain drivers of nonnative species richness across spatial scales, but evidence for common patterns among regions and taxa remains inconclusive. This study investigates why consistent patterns are elusive by estimating and assessing cross‐scale interactions, wherein large‐scale factors contextualize patterns ...

Resprouting trees drive understory vegetation dynamics following logging in a temperate forest
Scientific Reports, 2020 Removal of canopy trees by logging causes shifts in herbaceous diversity and increases invasibility of the forest understory. However, disturbed (cut) trees of many species do not die but resprout from remaining parts.

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract A foundational challenge in disease ecology is understanding how pathogens invade and persist on spatiotemporally heterogeneous landscapes. For example, SARS‐CoV‐2 (SCV2) is a viral pathogen of importance to human health that can also infect wildlife.

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

Multiple Mechanisms Required to Predict Grass Community Composition
Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 4, April 2026.In efforts to improve the predictive understanding of plant community assembly, this study evaluates how well different combinations of ecological mechanisms predict plant community composition. Our multi‐mechanism niche model could reliably predict out‐of‐sample biomass observations of five grasses sown in mixture along a soil nitrogen gradient when ...

Trait‐based approaches to restoration ecology: Synthesizing insights from diverse systems
Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 2, March 2026.Abstract Under accelerating global change, trait‐based approaches are emerging as essential tools in the ecological restoration toolbox. Where restoration has traditionally focused on the recovery of focal species in isolated systems, trait‐based methods can provide a common language that extends beyond species‐ or system‐specific contexts, allowing ...

Perspectives in Ecology and Conservation, 2018 Extensive invasion of the Campos grasslands of southern Brazil by the South African grass, Eragrostis plana, is a serious conservation problem due to its low palatability and ability to quickly spread.
