Exotic taxa less related to native species are more invasive.
Some species introduced into new geographical areas from their native ranges wreak ecological and economic havoc in their new environment. Although many studies have searched for either species or habitat characteristics that predict invasiveness of exotic species, the match between characteristics of the invader and those of members of the existing native community may be essential to understa...
متن کاملNovel chemistry of invasive plants: exotic species have more unique metabolomic profiles than native congeners
It is often assumed that exotic plants can become invasive when they possess novel secondary chemistry compared with native plants in the introduced range. Using untargeted metabolomic fingerprinting, we compared a broad range of metabolites of six successful exotic plant species and their native congeners of the family Asteraceae. Our results showed that plant chemistry is highly species-speci...

After a short introduction, we study the performance of some of the most used trading strategies in predicting the dynamics of financial markets for different international stock exchange ...
متن کاملIsland floras are not necessarily more species poor than continental ones
Oceanic islands typically exhibit a lower number of species per unit area than continents owing to their geographical isolation (MacArthur & Wilson, 1967). This relationship demonstrates a remarkable consistency across spatial and taxonomic scales (MacArthur & Wilson, 1967) and has significant evolutionary consequences because island organisms are expected to respond to the empty niche space th...
متن کاملWhy are the rates of cesarean section in Brazil higher in more developed cities than in less developed ones?
The objective of the present study was to investigate factors associated with cesarean sections in two cities located in different regions of Brazil and to determine factors that explain the higher cesarean section rate in the more developed city, Ribeirão Preto, compared to the less developed one, São Luís. Data from two cohort studies comprising 2846 women in Ribeirão Preto in 1994, and 2443 ...
