Ecological Factors Affecting Community Invasibility
What makes a community invasible? For over a century ecologists have sought to understand the relative importance of biotic and abiotic factors that determine community composition. The fact that we are still exploring this topic today hints at both its importance and complexity. As the impacts from harmful non-native species accumulate, it has become increasingly urgent to find answers to the ...
متن کاملInvasiveness, invasibility and the role of environmental stress in the spread of non-native plants
Invasion ecology, the study of how organisms spread in habitats to which they are not native, asks both about the invasiveness of species and the invasibility of habitats: Which species are most likely to become invasive? Which habitats are most susceptible to invasion? To set the stage for considering these questions with regard to plants, we offer a two-way classification of nativeness and in...
متن کاملDefining Ecological Strategies in Neuroprosthetics
Neurological disorders disrupt the equilibrium within the brain and spinal cord ecosystems. Ecology reuses, recycles, and reduces to help maintain the balance across ecosystems. Likewise, neuroprosthetics can help the brain help itself with ecoprosthetic designs that integrate the principles of the "three 'R's."
متن کاملRewilding ecological communities and rewiring ecological networks
Rewilding encompasses management actions such as reintroductions and translocations with the purpose of restoring ecological processes and ecosystem functions that were lost when species were locally extirpated. The success of a species introduction is conditioned by multiple factors, in particular, ecological interactions. To predict the fate of the introduced population and the community-leve...
متن کاملDefining and Discovering Communities in Social Networks
The categorization of vertices in a network is a common task across a multitude of domains. Specifically, structural divisions into internally well connected sets have been shown to be useful in computer science, social science, and biology. In each of these areas, grouping vertices using structural boundaries helps one to understand the underlying processes of a network. Identifying such group...
