Physical, cultural, and chemical alternatives for integrated management of charcoal rot of strawberry
(2021-02-01)
Macrophomina phaseolina, the causal agent of charcoal rot in strawberry, induces plant wilting and collapse. The pathogen survives through the production of microsclerotia in the soil and in strawberry debris. However, its ...
Mountain invasions on the way: are there climatic constraints for the expansion of alien woody species along an elevation gradient in Argentina?
(Oxford University Press, 2015-10)
Aims Increasing evidence worldwide indicates that high mountain regions are not immune to invasion by alien plants. Here we aimed to address whether three major woody invaders of low-mountain areas are constrained to lower ...
Expansion of a globally pervasive grass occurs without substantial trait differences between home and away populations
(Springer, 2012-11)
The global expansion of species beyond their ancestral ranges can derive from mechanisms that are trait-based (e. g., post-establishment evolved differences compared to home populations) or circumstantial (e. g., propagule ...
Variation of phenotypic attributes of the invasive plant eschscholzia californica across three biogeographic regions
(Universidad de Chile, 2018-10)
Las invasiones biológicas son una de las principales amenazas para la biodiversidad en todo el mundo; una forma de entender por qué algunas especies son más invasoras que otras, es analizando sus rasgos fenotípicos (o ...
Low genetic diversity of the successful invasive African clawed frog Xenopus laevis (Pipidae) in Chile
(Taylor and Francis, 2014)
In Africa, the genus Xenopus presents cryptic species and diverse hybrids between species. It has been assumed that the invasive populations of this genus correspond to X. laevis and that they are derived from the subspecies ...
The elephant in the room: The role of failed invasions in understanding invasion biology.
(Wiley, 2012-12)
Most species introductions are not expected to result in invasion, and species that are invasive in one area are frequently not invasive in others. However, cases of introduced organisms that failed to invade are reported ...
Observations on the non-native thousand cankers disease of walnut in Europe's southernmost outbreak
(2020-09-01)
The ascomycete fungus Geosmithia morbida (GM) and the walnut twig beetle (WTB), Pityophthorus juglandis, constitute a recently discovered fungal–insect complex responsible for the harmful Thousand Cankers Disease (TCD) in ...
Comparing alien plant invasions among regions with similar climates: Where to from here?
(2004)
Comparisons between regions with similar climates have traditionally helped to tackle big questions in evolutionary ecology and historical biogeography. We claim that plant invasion ecology can benefit greatly from further ...
