Rubbish dumps as invasive plant epicentres
(Springer, 2018-09)
It is widely known that disturbed areas favour plant species invasion. However, the presence and impacts of introduced plants at rubbish dumps and landfills are less clear. We conducted a literature review to evaluate ...
Massively Introduced Managed Species and Their Consequences for Plant–Pollinator Interactions
(Elsevier Academic Press Inc, 2017-02-19)
Since the rise of agriculture, human populations have domesticated plant and animal species to fulfil their needs. With modern agriculture, a limited number of these species has been massively produced over large areas at ...
Non-redundancy in seed dispersal and germination by native and introduced frugivorous birds: implications of invasive bird impact on native plant communities
(Springer, 2018-12)
Seed dispersal by vertebrate animals is important for the establishment of many fleshy-fruited plant species. Different frugivorous species can provide different seed dispersal services according to their specific dietary ...
Origin, natural history, and uses of introduced plants in Costa Rica.Origen, historia natural y usos de las plantas introducidas en Costa Rica
(Universidad Estatal a Distancia, Costa Rica, 2020)
Distribution patterns of alien plants in protected natural areas and their adjacent areas of south-central Chile Patrones de distribución de plantas introducidas en áreas silvestres protegidas y sus áreas adyacentes del centro-sur de Chile
(2013)
Natural protected areas (ASP) located in the south-central Chile (Región Metropolitana-Región de la Araucanía) are a conservation relict embedded in agricultural and silvicultural matrices. We compared the taxonomic diversity ...
Plant traits contributing to the performance of native and introduced rangeland grasses in arid Argentina
(Nova Science Publishers, 2013)
Rangelands from central Argentina characterize by insufficient warm-season, palatable perennial grasses to domestic livestock. Two palatable and water-stress tolerant cultivars ("Magnar" and "Trailhead") of Leymus cinereus ...
Patterns of plant naturalization show that facultative mycorrhizal plants are more likely to succeed outside their native Eurasian ranges
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-02)
The naturalization of an introduced species is a key stage during the invasion process. Therefore, identifying the traits that favor the naturalization of non-native species can help understand why some species are more ...
Effects of Introduced Plants on Diet and Seed Preferences of Pogonomyrmex carbonarius (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) in the Patagonian Steppe
(Entomological Society of America, 2019-06)
Invasive species may interact with resident species and disrupt previously established interactions, with effects on the whole community. If introduced seeds are selectively consumed by native granivores, this could limit ...
