متن کاملEvaluating Hypotheses of Plant Species Invasions on Mediterranean Islands: Inverse Patterns between Alien and Endemic Species
Invasive alien species cause major changes to ecosystem functioning and patterns of biodiversity, and the main factors involved in invasion success remain contested. Using the Mediterranean island of Crete, Greece as a case study, we suggest a framework for analyzing spatial data of alien species distributions, based on environmental predictors, aiming to gain an understanding of their spatial ...
متن کاملAlien Invasions and Gut “Island Biogeography”
Animals harbor gut microbiota characteristic of the host and diet of origin. Whether bacteria from diverse nonindigenous origins successfully invade foreign gut habitats is not well known. Now, Seedorf et al. show that microbiota from a variety of disparate habitats can successfully colonize and compete in the mammalian gut environment.
متن کاملThe Role of Native Ecosystems in Constraining Alien Tree Invasions
Alien tree invasions cause widespread impacts to ecosystem structure and function in many regions across the globe. Limiting the spread of these invasions into untransformed native ecosystems is often a management priority. Understanding the mechanisms by which these native ecosystems are able to resist tree invasion can not only enhance our understanding of invasion processes but may also aid ...
