Plant functional traits suggest novel ecological strategy for an invasive shrub in an understorey woody plant community
1. Understanding ecological strategies of invasive species relative to the entire native community is important in understanding and managing both the mechanisms and the potential impacts of invasion, but few studies have taken this approach. 2. We utilize advances in plant ecology to compare functional traits of an invasive shrub species, autumn-olive Elaeagnus umbellata, to those of the under...
متن کاملCompliance assessment in drug trials: has there been improvement in two decades?
BACKGROUND Compliance is a key element in the success of therapy, both in practice and research. A study from 1974 demonstrated that compliance in clinical trials was only determined in 19% of studies requiring it. OBJECTIVES The objective was to determine if there has been an improvement in compliance assessment in clinical trials. METHODS All drug studies published in the British Medical ...
متن کاملPlant community associations of two invasive thistles
In order to combat the growing problems associated with biological invasions, many researchers have focused on identifying which communities are most vulnerable to invasion by exotic species. However, once established, invasive species can significantly change the composition of the communities that they invade. The first step to disentangling the direction of causality is to discern whether a ...

متن کاملFragmentation affects plant community composition over time
across ecosystems. In part this deficit is due to the fact that the most frequently used metric in long term datasets, species richness, obscures compositional shifts (Magurran and Henderson 2010, Dornelas et al. 2014). Importantly, changes in community composition can have cascading effects on ecosystem properties (Tabarelli et al. 2012), highlighting a pressing need for a better understanding...
