Annual Review of Entomology, 2006
▪ Abstract Thrips are among the stealthiest of insect invaders due to their small size and cryptic habits. Many invasive thrips are notorious for causing extensive crop damage, vectoring viral diseases, and permanently destabilizing IPM systems owing to irruptive outbreaks that require remediation with insecticides, leading to the development of ...

Proteases and the Biology of Glioma Invasion
Journal of Neuro-Oncology, 2002Despite optimal clinical treatment, the prognosis for malignant gliomas remains poor. One of the primary reasons for treatment failure is not diffuse dissemination, but local invasion. Recently, there has been an increase in information regarding specific molecules that determine the aggressiveness and invasion potential of high-grade astrocytic tumors.

A role for immunology in invasion biology
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2004Invasive species are of increasing conservation and economic concern, yet mechanisms underlying invasions remain poorly understood. We propose that variation in immune defences might help explain why only some introduced populations become invasive. Introduced species escape many of their native diseases, but also face novel pathogens that can induce ...

Cell biology and invasion of the microsporidia
Microbes and Infection, 2001Microsporidia are amitochondrial eukaryotic obligate intracellular parasites. They are reported to infect every animal group from protists to vertebrates, including humans. Microsporidia are of interest as opportunistic pathogens in humans and for certain characteristics which raise questions about their evolution and phylogenetic position. This review

A review of the critics of invasion biology
Biological Reviews, 2020ABSTRACTHerein, I review existing criticisms of the field of invasion biology. Firstly, I identifiy problems of conceptual weaknesses, including disagreements regarding: (i) definitions of invasive, impact, and pristine conditions, and (ii) ecological assumptions such as species equilibrium, niche saturation, and climax communities. Secondly, I discuss

The Biology of Cancer Invasion and Metastasis
1978Publisher Summary This chapter summarizes the findings and hypotheses of cancer metastasis and elucidates the complex mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of metastasis. The development of a metastasis is dependent on the interplay of host and tumor cell properties.

Molecular Biology of Minimal Invasion
1988Invasion, uncontrolled proliferation, and often metastasis characterize malignant tumors. Benign tumors grow, but do not invade and do not metastasize. Research on the biology of minimal invasion tries to answer three questions: When do tumor cells start to invade? Which genetic alterations lead to acquisition of invasiveness? How do tumor cells invade?

2009
Abstract With the exception of climate change, biological invasions have probably received more attention during the past ten years than any other ecological topic. Yet this is the first synthetic, single-authored overview of the field since Williamson's 1996 book. Written fifty years after the publication of Elton's pioneering monograph

Fact and value in invasion biology
Conservation Biology, 2019Abstract Some invasion biologists contend their science has reached a consensus on 4 facts: cost estimates of the effects of nonindigenous species provided in papers by Pimentel et al. are credible; invasive species generally, not just predators, pose significant extinction threats; characteristic biological differences distinguish ...

Biology of Invasive Termites: A Worldwide Review
Annual Review of Entomology, 2013The number of recognized invasive termite species has increased from 17 in 1969 to 28 today. Fourteen species have been added to the list in the past 44 years; 10 have larger distributions and 4 have no reported change in distribution, and 3 species are no longer considered invasive.
