Not a melting pot: Plant species aggregate in their non-native range
(2020-03-01)
Aim: Plant species continue to be moved outside of their native range by human activities. Here, we aim to determine whether, once introduced, plants assimilate into native communities or whether they aggregate, thus forming ...
Microclimate variability in alpine ecosystems as stepping stones for non-native plant establishment above their current elevational limit
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2018-06)
Alpine environments are currently relatively free from non-native plant species, although their presence and abundance have recently been on the rise. It is however still unclear whether the observed low invasion levels ...
First record of Arapaima gigas (Schinz, 1822) (teleostei: Osteoglossomorpha), the “pirarucu”, in the upper paraná river basin, southeast Brazil
(2015-01-01)
Arapaima gigas (Schinz), the “pirarucu”, is one of largest freshwater fish of the Neotropical region, naturally occurring in the Amazon, Essequibo, and Orinoco river basins. Herein, it is first recorded from the Grande ...
First record of Crenicichla semifasciata (Heckel, 1840) (Teleostei: Cichlidae) in the upper Rio Paraná basin, Brazil
(2015-01-01)
Crenicichla semifasciata was described from the Rio Paraguai in Caiçara (near Cáceres, Mato Grosso, Brazil) and has been reported in the Rio Paraguai and lower portion of the Rio Paraná downstream of the Itaipu hydroelectric ...
Flammability features of native and non-native woody species from the southernmost ecosystems: a review
(2024)
Background: Vegetation plays a crucial role in the ignition, propagation, and severity of fre, and understanding the relationship between plants and fre through fammability attributes has become a useful tool that is ...
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 ...
Longitudinal patterns in distribution of native and non-native fish species in a regulated temperate Neotropical riverPadrões longitudinais na distribuição de espécies nativas e não-nativas de peixes em um rio Neotropical temperado regulado
(Associação Brasileira de Limnologia, 2021-01)
Aim: We evaluated the longitudinal patterns in distribution of native and non-native fish species in a hydrologically fragmented and environmentally variable lowland temperate river. Methods: Four sites representing ...
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 ...
Revisiting the Potential Conservation Value of Non-Native Species
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2012-12)
Human travel and transportation of goods are increasingly changing species distributions (Ricciardi 2007). Non-native species—those introduced beyond their natural ranges—often have undesirable effects at levels from genes ...
Biodiversity assessments: Origin matters
(Public Library of Science, 2018-11)
Recent global efforts in biodiversity accounting, such as those undertaken through the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), ...
