Consensus and controversy in the discipline of invasion science. [PDF]

Conserv Biol, 2022
Abstract Approaches, values, and perceptions in invasion science are highly dynamic, and like in other disciplines, views among different people can diverge. This has led to debate in the field specifically surrounding the core themes of values, management, impacts, and terminology.

Complex and Dynamic Effects of an Extreme Low Temperature Weather Event on Invasive Plant Populations and Resident Communities. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
Invasive plant species might benefit more from climate change, though evidence for that is not clear. Here, we show that the effects of a low‐temperature extreme weather event can result in a dramatic reduction in both vegetative and reproductive growth of invasive populations of Gunnera tinctoria (giant rhubarb) in the west of Ireland.

Low abundance of phytophagous nematodes under invasive exotic Pinus elliottii - enemy release and plant-soil feedbacks. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary According to the enemy release hypothesis (ERH), the fitness of exotic plants and their capacity to become invasive in their area of introduction may partly be attributable to the loss of their natural enemies. Invasive species may also benefit from modifying soil attributes and thereby creating a positive soil–plant feedback.

The Meaning of Plants' Names: A New Discovering Approach to Its Medicinal and/or Toxic Properties. [PDF]

Evid Based Complement Alternat Med
Some of the vernacular or scientific names are related to possible medicinal and/or toxic properties that can reveal the presence of potential bioactive agents, contributing to the discovery of new drugs and/or knowledge of the risks associated with their use.

Wild herbivores enhance resistance to invasion by exotic cacti in an African savanna

Journal of Ecology, Volume 111, Issue 1, Page 33-44, January 2023., 2023
Our experimental and observational findings that wild herbivores confer resistance to invasion by exotic cacti add to evidence that conserving and restoring native herbivore assemblages (particularly megaherbivores) can increase community resistance to plant invasions. Photo credit: Gustavo Lozada (same for potential cover image). Abstract Whether wild

Water use partitioning of native and non‐native tree species in riparian ecosystems under contrasting climatic conditions

Functional Ecology, Volume 36, Issue 10, Page 2480-2492, October 2022., 2022
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract One of the suggested mechanisms behind the success of non‐native plants in recipient ecosystems is competition avoidance with natives by means of different resource‐use strategies, such as deeper water uptake under dry conditions.

Effects of time since invasion and control actions on a coastal ecosystem invaded by non‐native pine trees

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 3, Issue 1, January–March 2022., 2022
Pine invasion reduced native species abundance, plant cover, richness and diversity, with an increase over time since invasion. Species diversity and richness were lower in the managed area than in the area that had not been invaded. Restoration activities are therefore required to increase native species diversity.

bRacatus: A method to estimate the accuracy and biogeographical status of georeferenced biological data

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 9, Page 1609-1619, September 2021., 2021
Abstract Georeferenced biological data of species distributions, abundances or traits are critical for ecological and evolutionary research. However, the accuracy (true vs. false records) and biogeographical status (native vs. alien) of individual georeferenced records are often unclear, which limits their use in species distribution modelling ...
