Environmental effects related to the local absence of exotic fish [PDF]

, 2009
Given the extent of biological invasions in industrialized countries, our understanding of the determinants of overall patterns of biological invasions could gain most from consideration of why exotic species are absent from some areas, rather than from ...

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.

A Multi‐Scale Machine Learning Framework for the Inverse Design of High Entropy Alloys

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
High‐entropy alloys offer vast potential for various applications, including electrocatalysis; however, their compositional complexity challenges conventional screening. We introduce an inverse‐design framework combining two neural networks to determine optimal compositions and reconstruct nanoparticle geometry from targeted properties and conventional

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

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

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

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

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 ...

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

Advanced 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.

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.
