Invasive species benefit from advantageous trait values and/or trait plasticity in their invasion process when facing changing environments. However, few studies explored this mechanism on invasive macrophytes. The effects of soil on the invasion of macrophytes were studied little by previous...

Facilitation cascades generated by co-occurring foundation species can enhance the abundance and diversity of associated organisms. However, it remains poorly understood how differences among native and invasive species in their ability to exploit these positive interactions contribute to emergent...

Round goby is generally accepted to be a typical benthic dwelling fish species both in its native and invasive ranges. Nevertheless, mid-water night trawling in the Biesbosch reservoirs (The Netherlands) identified pelagic occurrence of invasive round goby juveniles, which is the first observation...

The introduction and spread of invasive alien species is a serious threat to ecosystem structures, functions and services worldwide. At enormous cost and effort, attempts are being made to stop and reduce the ongoing appearance of alien species in ecosystems to protect the regional and native...

New arylpicolinate herbicide chemistry under development for rice, aquatic weed management, and other uses was evaluated using five aquatic plants. The herbicide 4-amino-3-chloro-6-(4-chloro-2-fluoro-3-methoxyphenyl)-5-fluoro-pyridine-2-benzyl ester - also identified as XDE-848 BE or SX-1552...

In recent years, the important challenging issues are biological invasions to biodiversity, overexploitation and extinction of several species. Invasive species often alter the workings of ecosystems around the globe. In the present research, our aim is to study the possible impacts of invasive...

Alterations to ecosystem nitrogen (N) cycling by introduced plant species may increase the invasibility of habitat providing a positive feedback for the introduced species to become invasive. Spatial patterns of foliar and soil δ¹⁵N ratios reflect variation in rates and process of N-cycling across...

Development of wheat-alien translocation lines has facilitated practical utilization of alien species in wheat improvement. The production of a compensating Triticum aestivum-Thinopyrum bessarabicum whole-arm Robertsonian translocation (RobT) involving chromosomes 6D of wheat and 6E^b of Th....

The purpose of this review is to emphasize rangeland and landscape attributes that effect animal grazing behavior while highlighting successful approaches that have utilized this knowledge to devise supplementation strategies that improve the sustainability of grazing systems through modification...

Resource utilization by earthworms affects soil C and N dynamics and further colonization of invasive earthworms. By applying ¹³C-labeled Tabebuia heterophylla leaves and ¹⁵N-labeled Andropogon glomeratus grass, we investigated resource utilization by three earthworm species (invasive endogeic ...
