Distributions of non‐native and native plants are not determined by the same environmental factors

Ecological Solutions and Evidence
Global environmental change will cause shifts in species communities, with non‐native species likely replacing native ones at an unprecedented rate. This will have consequences for biodiversity and ecosystem services, in addition to the ecological and ...

Contrasting xylem vessel constraints on hydraulic conductivity between native and non-native woody understory species

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2013
We examined the hydraulic properties of 82 native and non-native woody species common to forests of Eastern North America, including several congeneric groups, representing a range of anatomical wood types.

Peripheral Neutrophil Activation and Extracellular Trap Formation in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
Markers of neutrophil activation are increased in plasma during ALS, and markers of NET formation associate with ALS survival. ABSTRACT Objectives Peripheral neutrophil levels in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) inversely correlate with survival, suggesting a role for neutrophils in disease progression.

Competitive superiority of non-native invaders becomes weaker when plant diversity increases – a case study with Solidago species [PDF]

NeoBiota
Two popular hypotheses in invasion biology are the “inherent superiority hypothesis”, stating that non-native species generally perform better than native species, and the “biotic resistance hypothesis”, stating that at local scale invasibility decreases

High‐Resolution Corrosion Fingerprinting of Alloy Libraries via Microdroplet Spectroelectrochemistry

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Ionic‐liquid microdroplet spectroelectrochemistry enables stable, localized electrochemical measurements over extended timescales. By coupling impedance spectroscopy, wetting analysis, finite‐element simulations, and operando Raman spectroscopy, it disentangles geometrical and electrochemical effects, opening new opportunities for rapid corrosion ...

A Self‐Reproducing Population of Common Carp Cyprinus carpio at 59°16'N in Sweden

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries
In this brief report, we report on the occurrence of young‐of‐the‐year common carp, as well as older juveniles, in a golf course irrigation pond in Stockholm County, Sweden (59°16′40.4″N 18°28′0.6″E).

Superlubricity and Corrosion Inhibition Properties of Solvate Ionic Liquids in Hybrid Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic–Steel Interfaces

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Solvate ionic liquids lubrication reduced the coefficient of friction by ∼60% compared to dry sliding, reaching steady‐state values as low as 0.04–0.05. Corrosion weight‐loss measurements in 1 M HCl further demonstrated significant inhibition behavior, with only 100 ppm of [Li(G3)][TFSI] (∼68.5 μL/L) reducing corrosion‐product weight loss by 63 ...

Invasion–food security trade–offs in African inland fisheries: multi–year evidence from native and non–native fish assemblages in a subtropical reservoir

Frontiers in Conservation Science
Small–scale inland fisheries are critical for food and livelihood security across Africa, yet many freshwater systems now contain native and non–native fish species whose relative contributions to fisheries and the trade-offs for biodiversity and ...

New records of the Longfin Batfish, Platax teira (Forsskål, 1775) (Acanthuriformes, Ephippidae), from Zihuatanejo Bay, Guerrero, Mexico [PDF]

Check List
Platax teira (Forsskål, 1775) is documented for the first time in Guerrero, Mexico. Juveniles and subadults were recorded at the Fandango shipwreck and on rocky reefs near Zihuatanejo based on citizen-science and our own direct observations ...

Biomass Native Structure Into Functional Carbon‐Based Catalysts for Fenton‐Like Reactions

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study indicates that eight biomasses with 2D flaky and 1D acicular structures influence surface O types, morphology, defects, N doping, sp2 C, and Co nanoparticles loading in three series of carbon, N‐doped carbon, and cobalt/graphitic carbon. This work identifies how these structural factors impact catalytic pathways, enhancing selective electron
