Temporal collections to study invasion biology
Molecular Ecology, 2023 AbstractBiological invasions represent an extraordinary opportunity to study evolution. This is because accidental or deliberate species introductions have taken place for centuries across large geographical scales, frequently prompting rapid evolutionary transitions in invasive populations.

Botany is the root and the future of invasion biology [PDF]
American Journal of Botany, 2021 Although botanists have been at the center of invasion biology since its inception, few botanists identify as invasion biologists. Of those few, many primarily ally with associated disciplines such as weed science and agronomy. The modern field of invasion biology—the study of the introduction, establishment, evolution, and control of non-native ...

To South Africa and beyond: Local distribution and global invasion potential of the alien anemone Cereus pedunculatus [PDF]
Aquatic InvasionsEffective management of invasive alien species relies on spatial and temporal data. Yet, such information is scarce in the marine realm due to challenges associated with monitoring in highly connected environments that can be difficult to observe.

Biological invasions in agricultural settings: insights from evolutionary biology and population genetics [PDF]
, 2011 Invasion biology and agriculture are intimately related for several reasons and in particular because many agricultural pest species are recent invaders. In this article we suggest that the reconstruction of invasion routes with population genetics-based

Cells assemble invadopodia-like structures and invade into matrigel in a matrix metalloprotease dependent manner in the circular invasion assay [PDF]
, 2012 The ability of tumor cells to invade is one of the hallmarks of the metastatic phenotype. To elucidate the mechanisms by which tumor cells acquire an invasive phenotype, in vitro assays have been developed that mimic the process of cancer cell invasion ...

Invasive amphibians in southern Africa: A review of invasion pathways
Bothalia: African Biodiversity & Conservation, 2017 Background: Globally, invasive amphibians are known for their environmental and social impacts that range from poisoning of local fauna and human populations to direct predation on other amphibians.
