The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1255-1310, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Strategies for dry forest recovery: Fifteen years of Caribbean experimentation across scales

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.
Slow recovery of degraded Caribbean dry tropical forests can be accelerated by combining herbivore removal at landscape scales with enrichment planting of rare tree species under the cover of remnant forest patches. Long‐legacy effects on soils and forest taxonomical and functional diversity require long‐term management and community engagement ...

Biochemical Characterization of a Kunitz‐Type Protease Inhibitor From Mimosa regnellii and Its Effects on Melanoma Cell Viability and Angiogenesis

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 4, April 2026.
A Kunitz‐type serine protease inhibitor (JTI) purified from Mimosa regnellii seeds selectively targets melanoma cells. JTI triggers mitochondrial apoptosis, increases ROS and Ca2+ levels, arrests the cell cycle, and suppresses migration and angiogenesis without affecting healthy cells.

Spatial Distribution of Parthenium hysterophorus: Impact on Plant Species Diversity and Soil Characteristics in Gamo Zone, Southern Ethiopia

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The invasions are severe and have an impact on pasture lands, farmlands, and conservation areas. However, there is little data on Parthenium hysterophorus L. (Parthenium) mapping using GIS in the Southern Region of Ethiopia. The objective of this study was to map the spatial distribution of Parthenium which affects the diversity of plant ...
