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 ...
Integrating the study of non-native plant invasions across spatial scales
(SPRINGER, 2006-04)
Non-native (alien, exotic) plant invasions are affecting ecological processes and threatening biodiversity worldwide. Patterns of plant invasions, and the ecological processes which generate these patterns, vary across ...
Spread dynamics of invasive species
(NATL ACAD SCIENCES, 2006-01-10)
Species invasions are a principal component of global change, causing large losses in biodiversity as well as economic damage. Invasion theory attempts to understand and predict invasion success and patterns of spread. ...
Comparing alien plant invasions among regions with similar climates: Where to from here?
(2004)
Comparisons between regions with similar climates have traditionally helped to tackle big questions in evolutionary ecology and historical biogeography. We claim that plant invasion ecology can benefit greatly from further ...
Niche conservatism in a plant with long invasion history: the case of the Peruvian peppertree (Schinus molle, Anacardiaceae) in Mexico
(Royal Botanical Society of Belgium, 2020)
Background and aim - Invasive plants should only colonize habitats meeting the environmental conditions included in their native niches. However, if they invade habitats with novel environmental conditions, this can induce ...
Facilitation by nurse plants regulates community invasibility in harsh environments
(International Association for Vegetation Science, 2015)
QuestionThe biotic resistance hypothesis states that species diversity is a barrier for plant biological invasions because alien species are more likely to find strong competitors as diversity of native plants increases. ...
Environmental factors regulate occupancy of free-ranging dogs on a sub-Antarctic island, Chile
(Springer, 2020)
Domestic dogs (Canis familiaris) are the most common carnivore species in natural ecosystems worldwide. They are of considerable concern for wildlife conservation, particularly in the absence of predators. However, we are ...
Potential spatial interaction of the invasive species Harmonia axyridis (pallas) with native and endemic coccinellids
(Wiley, 2018-06)
Biological invasions represent a serious menace to local species assemblages, mainly due to interspecific relationships such as competition and predation. One important invasive species worldwide is Harmonia axyridis ...
Effect of a native tree on seedling establishment of two exotic invasive species in a semiarid ecosystem
(2011)
Theory predicts that in more stressful environments, positive plant-plant interactions should be more important than negative ones. For instance, in arid and semiarid regions, amelioration of soil drought produced by the ...
Genetic insights into the globally invasive and taxonomically problematic tree genus Prosopis
(Oxford University Press, 2020)
Accurate taxonomic identification of alien species is crucial to detect new incursions, prevent or reduce the arrival of new
invaders and implement management options such as biological control. Globally, the taxonomy of ...
