The question of how plant species foreign to a biological system can disperse and turn into an environmental problem is very important for the control of the invasive plant species, especially for insular ecosystems, which are more susceptible to biological invasions. We analyzed the role played by the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) in the seed dispersal of the invasive scrub Acacia fa...

A new species Pythium canariense (CI-07), isolated from soil samples taken in the San Nicolas region of the Canary islands (Gran Canaria, Spain), is being described here. This species is characterised by its spherical to pyriform, intercalary to catenulate sporangia, smooth-walled terminal oogonia supplied with monoclinous and diclinous antheridia which at times are branched and wrap around the...

The high vocal center (HVC) controls song production in songbirds and sends a projection to the robust nucleus of the archistriatum (RA) of the descending vocal pathway. HVC receives new neurons in adulthood. Most of the new neurons project to RA and replace other neurons of the same kind. We show here that singing enhances mRNA and protein expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)...

The 'western seed bug', known as Leptoglossus occidentalis , is considered a global invasive species that has experienced recent rapid expansion worldwide, becoming an important pest for coniferous forests.
