Niche width analyses facilitate identification of high-risk endemic species at high altitudes in western Himalayas

Ecological Indicators, 2021
High-elevation mountain communities are progressively threatened by habitat fragmentation and climate change resulting in habitat shift and biodiversity loss.

Low Pollinator Sharing Between Coexisting Native and Non-native Plant Pairs: The Effect of Corolla Length and Flower Abundance

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Understanding the mechanisms by which non-native plants can attract pollinators in their new geographical zones is important because such species infiltrate native communities and can disrupt native ecological interactions.

Sources and modes of action of invasive knotweed allelopathy : the effects of leaf litter and trained soil on the germination and growth of native plants [PDF]

, 2012
Invasive knotweeds, native to Eastern Asia, are among the most dominant plant invaders of European and North American temperate ecosystems. Recent studies indicate that one cause of this dominance might be allelopathy, but the possible sources and modes ...

The Impacts of Sprawl on Biodiversity: the Ant Fauna of the Lower Florida Keys

Ecology and Society, 2005
Sprawling development can affect species composition by increasing the rate of invasion by non-native species, and decreasing the persistence of native species.

Design and Validation of a Single‐Species Environmental DNA qPCR Assay for the Detection of the Invasive Chinese Mitten Crab Eriocheir sinensis

Environmental DNA
Biological invasions are a leading driver of biodiversity loss and generate significant economic costs, either through direct impact on native ecosystems or through repairs and remediation.

Microbiome−host proteostasis crosstalk—An emerging perspective on mechanisms and interventions toward healthy longevity

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Proteostasis and the gut microbiota play a key role in shaping host physiology. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, vitamins, and RNA modulate host proteostasis. Findings from model systems, including C. elegans, indicate microbes can either stabilize or disrupt host proteostasis.

Long-term evaluation of the impact of urbanization on native and non-native fish assemblages [PDF]

Aquatic Invasions
Urbanization often leads to the homogenization of species composition in aquatic ecosystems, as it introduces disturbances that can destroy the habitats of unique endemic or native species while creating alternative habitats for species capable of ...
