Detecting and Mapping Invasive Species Across Riparian Corridors via Object Detection Approaches in UAV Imagery: An Example of Impatiens glandulifera

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.
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

The spread of the invasive species Reynoutria japonica Houtt. will both expand and contract with climate change: results of climate modelling for 14 European countries

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 7, Page 3642-3653, July 2025.
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

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2025, Issue 7, July 2025.
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]

open access: yes, 2018
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]

open access: yes, 2010
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

open access: yesJournal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 4, Issue 2, June 2025.
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

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 3, Page 562-589, May 2025.
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

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 3, Page 536-545, May 2025.
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

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 4, May 2025.
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.
