Herbivory by non-native species can create strong direct and indirect effects on plant and arthropods communities that can potentially cross ecosystem boundaries. Yet, the cross-ecosystems impacts of non-native species are ...

Studies on species invasion in wetlands are fundamental to understanding the consequences of the introduction of exotic plants, which are often utilized in grasslands. The loss of native plant diversity is of increasing ...

Long-term assessments of species assemblages are valuable tools for detecting species ecological preferences and their dispersal tracks, as well as for assessing the possible effects of alien species on native communities. ...

Plant invasion can primarily affect the structure and functioning of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Although there is evidence that plant invasion can modify organic matter dynamics in mangroves, it is uncertain whether ...

The introduction of exotic species may have severe effects on native ecosystems by disrupting communities and ecosystem services. Consequently, assessing the functional role of a species newly added to a community is an ...

The replacement of natural landscapes by anthropic environments has led to habitat loss and consequently, to the decline and extinction of many species populations. Several strategies, such as the creation of protected ...
