The DIARS toolbox: a spatially explicit approach to monitor alien plant invasions through remote sensing [PDF]
Research Ideas and Outcomes, 2018 The synergies between remote sensing technologies and ecological research have opened new avenues for the study of alien plant invasions worldwide. Such scientific advances have greatly improved our capacity to issue warnings, develop early-response ...

InsectsHow alien pests invade new areas has always been a hot topic in invasion biology. The spread of the Bactrocera dorsalis from southern to northern China involved changes in food sources. In this paper, in controlled conditions, we take Bactrocera dorsalis

Reduced vertebrate diversity independent of spatial scale following feral swine invasions
Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Biological invasions often have contrasting consequences with reports of invasions decreasing diversity at small scales and facilitating diversity at large scales.

Invasive Plants Rapidly Reshape Soil Properties in a Grassland Ecosystem
mSystems, 2017 Plant invasions often reduce native plant diversity and increase net primary productivity. Invaded soils appear to differ from surrounding soils in ways that impede restoration of diverse native plant communities.

Plant invasions and extinction debts. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2013 Whether introduced species invasions pose a major threat to biodiversity is hotly debated. Much of this debate is fueled by recent findings that competition from introduced organisms has driven remarkably few plant species to extinction.

Ecological effects of plant invasions [PDF]
, 2013 This thesis aims to increase our knowledge on ecological effects of plant invasions, particularly in relation to pollination ecology, herbivory, and native invertebrate and plant communities.

Short lag times for invasive tropical plants: evidence from experimental plantings in Hawai'i. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 The lag time of an invasion is the delay between arrival of an introduced species and its successful spread in a new area. To date, most estimates of lag times for plants have been indirect or anecdotal, and these estimates suggest that plant invasions ...

Bothalia: African Biodiversity & Conservation, 2017 Background: Data on alien species status and occurrence are essential variables for the monitoring and reporting of biological invasions. The Southern African Plant Invaders Atlas (SAPIA) Project has, over the past 23 years, atlassed alien plants growing

Environmental harshness drives spatial heterogeneity in biotic resistance [PDF]
NeoBiota, 2018 Ecological communities often exhibit greater resistance to biological invasions when these communities consist of species that are not closely related. The effective size of this resistance, however, varies geographically. Here we investigate the drivers
