Geographic mosaics of plant–soil microbe interactions in a global plant invasion
(Blackwell, 2012)
Aim Our aim in this study was to document the global biogeographic variation
in the effects of soil microbes on the growth of Centaurea solstitialis (yellow
starthistle; Asteraceae), a species that has been introduced ...
Biotic interactions and plant invasions
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2006-06)
Introduced plant populations lose interactions with enemies, mutualists and competitors from their native ranges, and gain interactions with new species, under new abiotic conditions. From a biogeographical perspective, ...
Performance and competitive displacement of Bemisia tabaci MEAM1 and MED cryptic species on different host plants
(2019-10-01)
Bemisia tabaci comprises a complex of cryptic species, of which MEAM1 (known as B biotype) and MED (known as Q biotype) are the most invasive and widely distributed ones. In Brazil, MEAM1 was first reported in the 1990s, ...
Ecological effects and management of invasive alien Vespidae
(Springer, 2011-08)
Insect species associated with human goods continue to be accidentally introduced into new locations. A small proportion of these introduced species become invasive, causing a range of impacts in the receiving community. ...
Superoxide dismutase is a critical enzyme to alleviate oxidative stress in Aloe vera (L.) Burm. plants subjected to water deficit
(2012)
Background:Aloe vera, a plant with crassulacean acid metabolism naturally adapted to water deficit, was introduced in the semi-arid regions of Chile in 1999.Aims: Our objective was to evaluate how A. vera scavenged the ...
Impact of introduced herbivores on understory vegetation along a regional moisture gradient in Patagonian beech forests
(Elsevier Science, 2016-04)
Introduced ungulates can alter understory structure and composition posing a serious threat to forest biodiversity. Yet how large-herbivore impacts in forested regions vary along major environmental gradients remains little ...
The exotic jumping snail ovachlamys fulgens (Gude, 1900) (gastropoda: Helicarionidae) in urban areas of the Upper-Paraná Atlantic forest
(Academia Brasileira de Ciencias, 2018-04)
The exotic land gastropod Ovachlamys fulgens (Gude, 1900), aka the jumping snail, was registered in Eldorado city, Misiones province, constituting the first documented record of that species in Argentina- and for all of ...
Strong indication of an extinction based saturation of the flora on the Pacific Robinson Crusoe Islands
(Wiley, 2018)
Oceanic islands are vulnerable ecosystems and their flora has been under pressure since the arrival of the first humans. Human activities and both deliberately and inadvertently introduced biota have had and continue to ...
Severity of impacts of an introduced species corresponds with regional eco-evolutionary experience
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2019-01)
Invasive plant impacts vary widely across introduced ranges. We tested the hypothesis that differences in the eco-evolutionary experience of native communities with the invader correspond with the impacts of invasive species ...
Jute bioblanket as a soil rehabilitation strategy in Sorocaba, Brazil: Soil chemistry and SWOT approaches
(2019-09-01)
Soil erosion and the invasion of exotic plant species are major constraints to achieve sustainable development around the world. Currently, we find few products devoted concomitantly to combatting soil erosion as well as ...
