Economic costs of non-native species in Türkiye: A first national synthesis [PDF]

open access: yes
Biological invasions are increasingly recognised as a major global change that erodes ecosystems, societal well-being, and economies. However, comprehensive analyses of their economic ramifications are missing for most national economies, despite rapidly

Wearable Smart Patches on Sustainable Chitosan With Reversible Microbial Growth‐Inhibitory Properties

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chitosan, a polysaccharide upcycled from biowaste, has long promised sustainable, biocompatible, and antimicrobial films and devices, an appeal reinforced by its recent regulatory recognition, with several chitosan‐based antibacterial dressings gaining clearance through the Food and Drug Administration's 510(k) pathway.

Electrode and Microstructure Dependence of Oxygen Diffusion in Ferroelectric Hafnium Zirconium Oxide Thin Films

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Significant nanoscale oxygen diffusion coefficient variations are measured in ferroelectric hafnium zirconium oxide films with grain boundaries and electrode interfaces exhibiting values 104 times larger than the grain cores. Overall coefficients are 10X larger for films prepared with metal nitride electrodes compared to refractory metals. New insights

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

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

A Global Account of Established Non‐Native Fish Species

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology
ABSTRACTThe introduction of non‐native aquatic species has fundamentally transformed aquatic assemblages, primarily due to human activities, such as aquaculture, fisheries enhancement, aquarium trade, the creation of artificial corridors, and deliberate and accidental releases.

Non-native species have multiple abundance-impact curves (model results)

open access: yes, 2020
Data files containing the results of simple simulation models of the effects of ecosystem characteristics on the impacts and abundance-impact curves of non-native (invasive) species. These models were used in the paper: Strayer, D.L. 2020.
