Suppression of reed canarygrass by assisted succession: A sixteen‐year restoration experiment
Invasive species management and the restoration of target plant communities can be aided by assisting successional trajectories that have stalled. We document a restoration strategy for forests invaded by shade‐intolerant invaders that is both effective and economical, as only a simple site preparation and single planting effort is required ...

The specialised buzz pollination syndrome poses a partial barrier to plant invasions
We found that plants that exhibit traits consistent with the buzz‐pollination syndrome are underrepresented as invasive species across the globe. Our result suggests that the specialist buzz‐pollination syndrome poses a partial barrier to plant invasions. Our review also highlighted six alternative insect behaviours that can enable invasive plants with

Abstract Biological control practitioners are required to demonstrate that candidate agents are not only safe for release, but will establish widely in their new range with a significant impact on the target weed. We conducted this study in quarantine to provide insight into the impact and distribution of the root‐feeding flea beetle Heikertingerella ...

Cedrela odorata is the second most invasive tree species in the Galapagos Islands. Using nine microsatellite markers, we found that the genetic diversity of C. odorata in Galapagos is lower (He = 0.55) than in mainland Ecuador (He = 0.81). Our preliminary findings suggest multiple introduction events and that the origin of C. odorata in Galapagos could

Experimentally testing animal responses to prescribed fire size and severity
Abstract Deserts are often highly biodiverse and provide important habitats for many threatened species. Fire is a dominant disturbance in deserts, and prescribed burning is increasingly being used by conservation managers and Indigenous peoples to mitigate the damaging effects of climate change, invasive plants, and land‐use change. The size, severity,

A gramínea invasora capim-annoni-2 (Eragrosfis plana ness) apresenta competitividade de crescimento em relação ao campo nativo, o que pode estar relacionado a um sistema radical mais extenso e profundo do capim-annoni-2, proporcionando maior absorção de ...
