Bird community recovery following removal of an invasive tree
Ecological Solutions and Evidence, 2021 Faunal responses to plant invasions and their managed removal can expand our understanding of the nature of disturbance and the success of restored plant communities.

Highly invasive tree species are more dependent on mutualisms [PDF]
Ecology, 2020 AbstractWhy some species become invasive while others do not remains an elusive question. It has been proposed that invasive species should depend less on mutualisms, because their spread would then be less constrained by the availability of mutualistic partners.

Invasive Prunus serotina vs. Robinia pseudoacacia: How does temperate forest natural regeneration respond to their quantity? [PDF]
NeoBiotaInvasive trees negatively impact forests, by making the vegetation more homogeneous when invaders are present than when they are absent. Here, we aim to more deeply understand the effects of invasive trees on forests with a focus on seedlings and ...

Outstanding performance of an invasive alien tree Bischofia javanica relative to native tree species and implications for management of insular primary forests [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Invasive alien tree species can exert severe impacts, especially in insular biodiversity hotspots, but have been inadequately studied. Knowledge of the life history and population trends of an invasive alien tree species is essential for appropriate ...

Tree Diversity Limits the Impact of an Invasive Forest Pest
PLOS ONE, 2015 The impact of invasive herbivore species may be lower in more diverse plant communities due to mechanisms of associational resistance. According to the "resource concentration hypothesis" the amount and accessibility of host plants is reduced in diverse plant communities, thus limiting the exploitation of resources by consumers.

NeoBiota, 2017 Lianas are prevalent in gaps and edges of forests where they compete intensely with trees, reducing growth and recruitment. Invasive lianas have the potential to be particularly harmful as the competitive advantage of the liana life history may be ...

Caldasia, 2020 We record for the first time the host association of the seed beetle Merobruchus paquetae with the invasive legume tree Leucaena leucocephala. This species of beetle was associated in Colombia to the native legume tree Pseudosamanea guachapele.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.

European Journal of Entomology, 2018 In this study, we report the development of a set of 15 polymorphic microsatellite markers for the box tree moth, Cydalima perspectalis (Walker), a highly invasive insect in Europe causing significant damage to natural and ornamental Buxus trees.

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.We have established a humanized orthotopic patient‐derived xenograft (Hu‐oPDX) mouse model of high‐grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) that recapitulates human tumor–immune interactions. Using combined anti‐PD‐L1/anti‐CD73 immunotherapy, we demonstrate the model's improved biological relevance and enhanced translational value for preclinical ...
