(Springer, 2014-05-25)
Expansion of agricultural land is one of the most significant human alterations to the global environment because it entails not only native habitat loss but also introduction of exotic species. These alterations affect ...
Native versus non-native invasions: similarities and differences in the biodiversity impacts of pinus contorta in introduced and native ranges
(2016)
AimTo determine whether one of the most invasive pine species introduced to the Southern Hemisphere, Pinus contorta, has changed plant species richness, composition, diversity, and litter depth where it has invaded into ...
Assessing the threat of a South American cichlid on anurans in the Chilean Mediterranean region
(Regional Euro-Asian Biological Invasions Centre-Reabic, Findandia, 2021)
Mediterranean biomes have been recognized as having high value due to their diversity; they are under threat due to anthropic pressures. Both freshwater fish and amphibians show high endemism and vulnerability to several ...
Effect of a native tree on seedling establishment of two exotic invasive species in a semiarid ecosystem
(2011)
Theory predicts that in more stressful environments, positive plant-plant interactions should be more important than negative ones. For instance, in arid and semiarid regions, amelioration of soil drought produced by the ...
Running off the road: roadside non-native plants invading mountain vegetation
(Springer, 2018-12-27)

Southernmost distribution limit for endangered Peladillas (Aplochiton taeniatus) and non-native coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) coexisting within the Cape Horn biosphere reserve, Chile
(Wiley, 2020)
The Cape Horn Biosphere Reserve, one of the last wild areas of the planet, is not exempt from the pressures of global change, such as non-native species introductions. During 2018 and 2019 we studied the Robalo river basin ...
The educational community and its knowledge and perceptions of native and invasive alien species
(Nature Research, 2021-12)
Environmental education seeks to foster an appreciation for nature and the impact of humans on it while introducing citizens to scientific thinking. Biological invasions affect different aspects of life on earth and mandate ...
Germination performance of native and non-native Ulmus pumila populations
(Pensoft Publishers, 2012-12)
Germination is a crucial step for invasive plants to extend their distribution under different environmental conditions in a new range. Therefore, information on germination characteristics of invasive plant species provides ...
