Colonization dynamics of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in Ilex paraguariensis crops: Seasonality and influence of management practices [PDF]
, 2020 The yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis St. Hill.) is a native species from subtropical regions of Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are symbiotically associated with 82% of the vegetable species including crops of ...

Emerging Urban Forests: Opportunities for Promoting the Wild Side of the Urban Green Infrastructure [PDF]
, 2019 Many cities aim to increase urban forest cover to benefit residents through the provision of ecosystem services and to promote biodiversity. As a complement to traditional forest plantings, we address opportunities associated with “emerging urban forests”

Population level interactions between an invasive woodwasp, an invasive nematode and a community of native parasitoids [PDF]
NeoBiota, 2023 Parasitic nematodes and hymenopteran parasitoids have been introduced and used extensively to control invasive Eurasian Sirex noctilio woodwasps in pine plantations in the Southern Hemisphere where no members of this community are native.

Increase of an introduced bird competitor in old-growth forest associated with restoration [PDF]
, 2012 Many successful invasions involve long initial periods in which the invader exists at low densities followed by sudden population increases. The reasons for such time-lags remain poorly understood.

Spatio-temporal co-occurrence of alien and native molluscs : a modelling approach using physical-chemical predictors [PDF]
, 2017 The invasion of alien species can have serious economic and ecological impacts. Ecologically, invasions often lead to an increased rate of native species replacement and decreased biodiversity.

Drought resistance of native pioneer species indicates potential suitability for restoration of post-mining areas [PDF]
Web Ecology, 2015 In order to test whether invasive exotic species, predominantly used for restoring post-mining areas in north-eastern Vietnam, may be replaced by ecologically superior native pioneer species, we conducted a drought stress experiment in a greenhouse.

Parid foraging choices in urban habitat and their consequences for fitness [PDF]
, 2014 Urban environments are habitat mosaics, often with an abundance of exotic flora, and represent complex problems for foraging arboreal birds. In this study, we used compositional analysis to test how Blue Tits Cyanistes caeruleus and Great Tits Parus ...
