In recent years, the microbiome has attracted much attention because of the multiple roles and functions that microbes play in plants, animals, and human beings. Seed-associated microbes are of particular interest in being the initial microbial inoculum that affects the critical early life stages...

Climate change is causing rapid shifts in the abiotic and biotic environmental conditions experienced by plant populations, but we lack generalizable frameworks for predicting the consequences for species. These changes may cause individuals to become poorly matched to their environments,...

Invasive species and chemical pollution both threaten biodiversity. Here, we discuss how pollution, through its impacts on wildlife behaviour, shapes invasion dynamics by altering species interactions. Addressing knowledge gaps will have implications for the management of invasive species and...

Halophila stipulacea is an invasive seagrass in the Caribbean Sea that also harbors a phytomyxid endoparasite. Phytomyxean parasites are known to cause disease in agricultural crops and are documented to form galls in some seagrass species. Here we make the first report of phytomyxid infection of ...

Parasitism is an important predictor of biological invasions. The presence or absence of parasitic organisms can affect how invasive alien species (IAS) become established in a new region, spread within or between regions, or impact native species post-establishment. However, despite their...

Global connectivity is increasing the number of biological invasions. In turn, further anthropogenic stressors including a changing climate are increasing the establishment and impact of invasive alien species (IAS). IAS may provide novel hosts for parasites in the new range. Furthermore, parasites ...

The loss of genetic diversity due to population bottlenecks during invasion can reduce the fitness of introduced species. Despite this, introduced species often perform better in their introduced range. This conundrum, referred to as the genetic paradox of biological invasions, remains unanswered...

There is limited data on minimally invasive coelioscopy in smaller exotic birds like budgerigar. This study was taken primarily to collect baseline data of internal organs of budgerigar during a diagnostic coelioscopic procedure. A 2.7 mm 180 mm rigid endoscope (Karl Storz) was used for the...

Biological invasion results in a lot of problems about ecosystem and human life. To explore the mechanism of alien species invading a stable food web, a patch dynamic model is established to describe the patch occupancy of each species in the omnivorous food web. A species as invader will be...

Some of the earliest Western European macroremains of rye (Secale cereale) have been recently recovered in Northwest Iberia. However, the chronological and cultural contexts of these remains have not been yet exhaustively analysed. To address this gap of research, previous and unpublished...
