Suppression of reed canarygrass by assisted succession: A sixteen‐year restoration experiment

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 61, Issue 8, Page 1805-1816, August 2024.
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

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 112, Issue 8, Page 1686-1700, August 2024.
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

Predicted impact, establishment and distribution of Heikertingerella sp. (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae), recently released for the biological control of Tecoma stans in South Africa Impacto, establecimiento y distribución previstos de Heikertingerella sp. (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae), liberado recientemente para el control biológico de Tecoma stans en Sudáfrica

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 26, Issue 3, Page 410-420, August 2024.
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 ...

Preliminary insights of the genetic diversity and invasion pathways of Cedrela odorata in the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2024.
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

Seasonal growth of "algodão-bravo" (Ipomoea carnea spp. fistulosa) Crescimento sazonal do "algodão-bravo" (Ipomoea carnea spp. fistulosa)

open access: yesPesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira, 1999
Ipomoea carnea spp. fistulosa, a native woody perennial, is capable of spreading rapidly over seasonally flooded grassland in the Brazilian Pantanal, South America's largest wetland, thus conflicting with the local cattle ranching. I.

Experimentally testing animal responses to prescribed fire size and severity

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 3, June 2024.
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,

Crescimento e distribuição de raízes de capim-annoni-2 e do campo nativo: vantagem competitiva do capim-annoni-2?

open access: yesPesquisa Agropecuária Gaúcha, 2009
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 ...
