Riparian zones in the United Kingdom are diverse but prone to anthropogenic changes and invasive species like impatiens glandulifera. This study introduces a method to identify and map these flowers using a computer vision framework and UAV imagery, wrapped into an executable program called the semi‐automatic thresholding tool (SATT). Validation showed

Technical scheme of the study. We conducted modelling (Maxent) and predicted changes in the range of Reynoutria japonica in Europe in response to climate change. This provided a theoretical foundation for the risk assessment and effective management of plant invasions.

Cross‐continental variation of herbivore resistance in a global plant invader
While successful plant invasions often occur in novel environments, invasive species usually occupy broad niches within their native and introduced ranges. A better understanding of the process of invasion therefore requires a wide sampling of ranges, and a good knowledge of introduction history.

Fallow Futures: A Short Story [PDF]
What will the future be like? And how will humans live with, within the natural world? As we hear more and more of natural phenomena and land formations that are not only protected but also granted legal rights equivalent to those of humans (recently ...

Are the ecological impacts of alien species misrepresented? A review of the “native good, alien bad” philosophy [PDF]
The study of invasion ecology usually focuses on the negative impacts of alien species, while potential positive impacts are often overlooked. Understanding of biotic interactions may thus be skewed towards the negative, which could have important ...

Identification of Endophytic Bacterial Community Associated With Roots of Desert Vegetation
ABSTRACT Native plants thriving in extreme environments host unique microbial communities that might play crucial roles in promoting their growth and enhancing tolerance to harsh environmental conditions. In this study, the root‐associated microbial communities were analysed from ten desert native plant species.

Orphan crops of archaeology‐based crop history research
Agrobiodiversity is central to sustainable farming worldwide. Cultivation, conservation and reintroduction of diverse plant species, including ‘forgotten’ and ‘underutilized’ crops, contribute to global agrobiodiversity, living ecosystems and sustainable food production.

Lost in translation: The need for updated messaging strategies in invasion biology communication
As with any complex environmental challenge, information about the “invasive species problem” must be communicated effectively to generate widespread public trust, understanding, and engagement in solutions. However, there is growing recognition that conventional messaging strategies can be ineffective or even detrimental at activating the broader ...

Dimensions of effective volunteer restoration techniques in North America
Key voices in ecological restoration are advocating for participatory, community‐based practices to lower costs, enhance resilience, and improve outcomes by engaging volunteers in restoration practice. We reviewed methods from 19 studies that focused on techniques that specifically involved volunteers.
