Pollination ecology of the invasive tree tobacco Nicotiana glauca: comparisons across native and non-native ranges [PDF]

, 2012
Interactions with pollinators are thought to play a significant role in determining whether plant species become invasive, and ecologically generalised species are predicted to be more likely to invade than more specialised species.

Hydrogel platforms for 3D cardiac tissue engineering and fibrotic disease modelling

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Hydrogel‐based cardiac tissue models are advancing our understanding of heart health and disease. By incorporating electrical conductivity, aligned structures, and tunable mechanical properties, these platforms better replicate the complex environment of native heart tissue.

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.

Improving species distribution models for invasive non‐native species with biologically informed pseudo‐absence selection [PDF]

, 2019
Aim: We present a novel strategy for species distribution models (SDMs) aimed at predicting the potential distributions of range‐expanding invasive non‐native species (INNS).

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.

Native English-speaking teachers versus non-native English-speaking teachers

, 1997
There is a stereotype that takes for granted that a native speaker is by nature the best person to teach his/her foreign language. This assumption leaves little room for non-native teachers.

Alzheimer's Disease Biomarkers Measured by Capillary Blood Collection Versus Venous Plasma and Cerebrospinal Fluid

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Blood biomarkers are increasingly critical for non‐invasive Alzheimer's Disease (AD) diagnostics and research but typically require on‐site processing. Remote point‐of‐care collection methods could enhance biomarker testing in clinical and research settings.

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 ...

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 ...

The endless invasions: Spatiotemporal patterns of non-native insects in China [PDF]

NeoBiota
Biological invasions have been defined as one striking indicator of the Anthropocene epoch, with more species being translocated beyond their native range by human activities. The inventory of non-native species in a region provides basic information for
