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 ...
Rapid increase in growth and productivity can aid invasions by a non-native tree
(Oxford University Press, 2018)
Evolutionary dynamics of tree invasions: Complementing the unified framework for biological invasions
(Oxford University Press, 2017-01)
Evolutionary processes greatly impact the outcomes of biological invasions. An extensive body of research suggests that invasive populations often undergo phenotypic and ecological divergence from their native sources. ...
Community Assembly Theory as a Framework for Biological Invasions
(Elsevier Science London, 2018-05)
Biological invasions present a global problem underlain by an ecological paradox that thwarts explanation: how do some exotic species, evolutionarily naïve to their new environments, outperform locally adapted natives? We ...
Adaptive management of alien invasive species: putting the theory into practice
(Fundação o Boticário de Proteçao á Natureza, 2007-10)
Even though often based on scarce information, many actions due to conservation ofbiodiversity need to be carried out as matters of urgency. In the case of biological invasions, this is acommon situation, as the real ...
Using global and regional Species Distribution Models (SDM) to infer the invasive stage of latrodectus geometricus (Araneae: Theridiidae) in the Americas
(Entomological Society of America, 2016)
© The Authors 2016. The brown widow spider, Latrodectus geometricus C. L. Koch, 1841, is a large spider of the family Theridiidae that belongs to a genus of medical interest owing to its potent neurotoxic venom, which ...
Invasion Science and the Global Spread of SARS-CoV-2
Emerging infectious diseases, such as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), are driven by ecological and socioeconomic factors, and their rapid spread and devastating impacts mirror those of invasive species. Collaborations ...
Simulation model suggests that fire promotes lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta) invasion in Patagonia
(Springer, 2019-03)
To best understand plant invasions and predict unexpected outcomes it is necessary to integrate information on disturbance, the local environment, and demography. Disturbance by fire has been shown to promote invasions ...
Biological invasions in South Africa
South Africa has played an outsize role in the history of biological invasions and the
development of an invasion science to understand and mitigate their impacts.
Containing a large region with temperate climate, South ...
