Biotic resistance on muddy shores? Native epibiotic barnacles impose costs on non-native snails
Organisms that settle and grow on other organisms (i.e., epibionts) are often costly to their hosts in terms of locomotion, growth, and/or...
-
Removal of invasive shrubs reduces rodent consumption of invasive non-native animals and native understory seeds
Plant invasions can generate indirect effects on native plants and animals by modifying the behavior and abundance of their consumers. Native...

Native and tagged CENP-A histones are functionally inequivalent
BackgroundOver the past several decades, the use of biochemical and fluorescent tags has elucidated mechanistic and cytological processes that would...

Patterns of genetic variation in native and non-native populations of European catfish Silurus glanis across Europe
Biological invasions are a major component of global change worldwide. But paradoxically, an invasive species might also have threatened populations...

Weak responses of soil microorganisms to leaf litter inputs after native Phyllostachys edulis invasion into adjacent native forests
AimsMoso bamboo ( Phyllostachys pubescens ) invasions into native forest cause a series of ecological problems, including the alteration of soil...

Mammalian PIWI–piRNA–target complexes reveal features for broad and efficient target silencing
The PIWI-interacting RNA (piRNA) pathway is an adaptive defense system wherein piRNAs guide PIWI family Argonaute proteins to recognize and silence...

Angler’s preferences, perceptions and practices regarding non-native freshwater fish
It is globally recognized that freshwater anglers can have a decisive role in promoting fish introductions. The aim of this study was to analyze...
-
New evidence contradicts the rapid spread of invasive genes into a threatened native species
When introduced species hybridize with native relatives, spread of advantageous invasive genes into native populations (introgression) is a...
-
Global change drivers synergize with the negative impacts of non-native invasive ants on native seed-dispersing ants
Non-native species invasion, habitat fragmentation and climate change individually impose negative impacts on natural systems, but their synergistic...

Discrepancies between non-native and invasive species classifications
Biological invasions pose a growing threat to ecosystems, biodiversity, and socio-economic interests. In the European Union, the introduction of...

Resource partitioning between non-native white-spotted charr and native red-spotted masu salmon in Shikoku, southwestern Japan: population- and individual-level analyses
White-spotted charr ( Salvelinus leucomaenis subspp.) and masu salmon ( Oncorhynchus masou subspp.) are common stream salmonids in the Japanese...

Top-down mass spectrometry of native proteoforms and their complexes: a community study
The combination of native electrospray ionization with top-down fragmentation in mass spectrometry (MS) allows simultaneous determination of the...

Modeling the potential spread of the non-native regal demoiselle, Neopomacentrus cyanomos, in the western Atlantic
Predicting the potential distribution of a non-native species can assist management efforts to mitigate impacts on recipient ecosystems. However,...

Habitat context and functional growth traits explain alien plant invader impacts on native vegetation communities
Examining context-dependency of ecological impacts of alien plant invasions is critical to further understand the mechanisms driving impacts. We...

Meta-analysis reveals less sensitivity of non-native animals than natives to extreme weather worldwide
Extreme weather events (EWEs; for example, heatwaves, cold spells, storms, floods and droughts) and non-native species invasions are two major...

Native and non-native fish predators differ in their consumptive and non-consumptive impacts on a native freshwater snail
Florida apple snails, Pomacea paludosa , serve as the nearly exclusive prey for the endangered Florida snail kite, Rostrhamus sociabilis , and many...

DO Toxic Invasive Prey Become a Toxin Source for Native Consumers?
Toxic organisms can become food that potentially harms consumers. When these organisms become invasive species, the harm often turns to a serious...

Prioritizing weeds for biological control development in the western USA: adaptation of the Biological Control Target Selection system
Nonnative invasive plants (weeds) negatively impact native biodiversity, ecosystem services, agriculture, and the economic interests and health of...

Seasonal dominance of exotic ambrosia beetles compared to native species within deciduous and coniferous woodlots
Ambrosia beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) are among the most successful invaders of trees on a global scale. Exotic species can...

Dealing with Non-native Species in Ecosystem Restoration
The occurrence of and invasion by non-native plant and animal species (neobiota) is often considered a problem for nature conservation and ecosystem...
