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. ...
An analysis of publications on invasive macrophytes in aquatic ecosystems
(Regional Euro-asian Biological Invasions Centre-reabic, 2014-11-01)
In this study, we performed a scientometric analysis of published scientific papers on the biological invasion of macrophytes in freshwater ecosystems to assess the main trends and gaps in research concerning this group ...
Invasive plants: representativeness of research from tropical countries in the global context
(FUNDACAO BOTICARIO PROTECAO NATUREZA, 2008)
Biological invasions threaten the native biota of several countries and this threat is even greater in the tropical regions that have the greatest biodiversity. In order to evaluate the representativeness of studies on ...
Tree invasions: patterns, processes, challenges and opportunities
(Springer, 2014-01)
Tree invasions have escalated in importance in the last few decades (more species, greater area invaded, more types of impacts, increasing complexity of management challenges), and are increasingly studied from many ...
Invasive belowground mutualists of woody plants
(Springer, 2014-01)
Most plants require mutualistic associa- tions to survive, which can be an important limitation on their ability to become invasive. There are four strategies that permit plants to become invasive without being limited ...
Conflicting values: ecosystem services and invasive tree management
(Springer, 2014-01)
Tree species have been planted widely beyond their native ranges to provide or enhance ecosystem services such as timber and fibre produc- tion, erosion control, and aesthetic or amenity benefits. At the same time, ...
Disruption of ecosystem processes in western North America by invasive species
(Sociedad de Biología de Chile, 2004)
Classical biological control of an invasive forest pest: A world perspective of the management of Sirex noctilio using the parasitoid Ibalia leucospoides (Hymenoptera: Ibaliidae)
(Cambridge University Press, 2015-02)
Classical biological control is a key method for managing populations of pests in long-lived crops such as plantation forestry. The execution of biological control programmes in general, as the evaluation of potential ...
Maintaining close canopy cover prevents the invasion of Pinus radiata: Basic ecology to manage native forest invasibility
(Public Library of Science, 2019)
Pine invasion is a global threat that is occurring in native forests of diverse regions of the world. This process is arising in a scenario of rapid forest deforestation and degradation. Therefore, elucidate which forests ...
Meta-analysis of the impact of plant invasions on soil microbial communities
(BMC, 2021)
Background One of the ecological impacts of exotic plant invasions may be alteration of the soil microbial community, which may cause changes to the diversity, richness and function of these communities. In order to explore ...
