Defining indigenous plants: some problematic species from Norfolk Island [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Defining indigenous species may at first appear straight forward; most botanical texts provide similar definitions. The consistent requirement of such definitions is the lack of human intervention in the occurrence of the species within the area under ...

Seasonal variation in wild pig (Sus scrofa) diet revealed by DNA metabarcoding

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 50, Issue 1, March 2026.
Using DNA metabarcoding of fecal samples, we investigated the diet of wild pigs at an extensive bottomland hardwood forest ecosystem within Felsenthal National Wildlife Refuge in Southern Arkansas. We found that wild pig diet was highly diverse and included at least 74 plant families and 106 genera and 23 species of vertebrates.

Potential climate warming effects on the distribution of an invasive alien pest species

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 113-125, February 2026.
Drosophila suzukii (SWD) has low resistance to heat waves. The incidence of SWD differed between Illyric‐ and Pannonian climate zone. Desert days (frequency) only increased in the Pannonian zone. Abstract Climate warming can be a powerful driver for the establishment and further spread of alien species by lowering the abiotic resistance of native ...

Seasonal variations of sulphur, phosphorus and magnesium in the leaves and current-year twigs of hemiparasitic mistletoe Loranthus europaeus Jacq. and its host Quercus pubescens Willd.

open access: yesJournal of Forest Science, 2018
The objectives of this research were to investigate nutrient seasonal dynamics in the hemiparasitic mistletoe Loranthus europaeus von Jacquin and its host Quercus pubescens Willdenow, and to evaluate nutrient relationships between mistletoe and its host.

Animal‐mediated seed dispersal: A review of study methods

open access: yesApplications in Plant Sciences, Volume 14, Issue 1, January-February 2026.
Abstract By dispersing seeds, animals provide ecological functions critical for the ecology, evolution, and conservation of plants. We review quantitative and empirical approaches and emerging technologies to quantify processes and patterns of animal‐mediated seed dispersal (zoochory) across its phases: from predispersal to postdispersal.

A multi‐scale assessment of interior Douglas‐fir tree mortality for hazard and risk assessments

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Land managers use hazard (susceptibility) and risk rating systems to guide the application of forest management treatments that aim to reduce future damages to forests. Rating systems are typically designed for individual damage agents, but tree mortality often results from multiple agents without a clear proximate cause.
