Biological invasions: a global assessment of geographic distributions, long‐term trends, and data gaps

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2542-2583, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Biological invasions are one of the major drivers of biodiversity decline and have been shown to have far‐reaching consequences for society and the economy. Preventing the introduction and spread of alien species represents the most effective solution to reducing their impacts on nature and human well‐being.

Green Synthesis and Application of Biochar Derived from Alien Vegetation Wood for Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells

open access: yesChemistryOpen, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2025.
Biochar derived from woody alien vegetation has been used as a support material for proton exchange membrane fuel cells. This study focuses on the prospects of using biochar specifically from alien vegetation as an alternative for carbonaceous support material to convert and store electrochemical energy.

Further Evidence for Seed Size Variation in the Genus Zostera: Exploratory Studies with Z. japonica and Z. asiatica

open access: yes, 2006
Recent studies found seed size variation within the seagrass Zostera marina, one of nine species in the genus Zostera. The objectives of this study were to determine if variation also exists in the seeds of two other species Zostera japonica and Zostera ...

Global Review of Blue Carbon Ecosystem Microbial Communities

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2025.
A thorough review of Blue Carbon Ecosystems' global and regional patterns in microbial diversity, functions, and distribution is currently missing. In this study, we have, for the first time, analysed 70 years (1930–2020) of data on archaeal, bacterial, and fungal diversity and reported functions in mangrove, saltmarsh, and seagrass ecosystems.

WAVE DAMPINGS BY A CROWD OF MODEL PLANTS (Zostera Japonica Ascheras) IN WATER

open access: yesPROCEEDINGS OF HYDRAULIC ENGINEERING, 2004
Laboratory experiments were performed to study the wave forces acting on a model plant (Zostera Japonica Ascheras) on the bed of two dimensional wave flume. The wave forces acting on the both directions of wave propagation (in line direction) and gravity were measured by using a two components load cell installed under the bed of wave flume.

Natural products targeting tumour angiogenesis

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 182, Issue 10, Page 2094-2136, May 2025.
Abstract Tumour angiogenesis is the formation of new blood vessels to support the growth of a tumour. This process is critical for tumour progression and metastasis, making it an attractive approach to cancer therapy. Natural products derived from plants, animals or microorganisms exert anti‐angiogenic properties and can be used to inhibit tumour ...

Dimensions of effective volunteer restoration techniques in North America

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 4, May 2025.
Key voices in ecological restoration are advocating for participatory, community‐based practices to lower costs, enhance resilience, and improve outcomes by engaging volunteers in restoration practice. We reviewed methods from 19 studies that focused on techniques that specifically involved volunteers.

Morphological and genetic differences between novel protist pathogens of the seagrasses Zostera marina and Zostera japonica

open access: yes, 2021
Seagrasses are foundational species in marine ecosystems and are a bioindicator of overall ecosystem health. Seagrasses are globally in decline primarily due to climate change and pathogens.

Maerl Bed Conservation: Successes and Failures

open access: yesAquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 35, Issue 2, February 2025.
ABSTRACT Most ecoregions lack data on maerl distribution and ecological status, so this needs fundamental research for conservation. Brittany, NW France, is an exception and has extensive research on maerl species, associated biodiversity, human‐induced impacts and protection efforts.
