Viewing Emerging Human Infectious Epidemics through the Lens of Invasion Biology
(Oxford University Press, 2021)
Invasion biology examines species originated elsewhere and moved with the help of humans, and those species' impacts on biodiversity, ecosystem services, and human well-being. In a globalized world, the emergence and spread ...

Evaluation of batch mesophilic anaerobic digestion of raw and trampled llama and dromedary dungs: methane potential and kinetic study
(Springer, 2022)
This research was carried out with the aim to evaluate the anaerobic digestion (AD) of llama and dromedary dungs (both untreated and trampled) in batch mode at mesophilic temperature (35 °C). The biochemical methane potential ...

A non-homogeneous model of chromosome-number evolution to reveal shifts in the transition patterns across the phylogeny
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2023)
Changes in chromosome numbers, including polyploidy and dysploidy events, play a key role in eukaryote evolution as they could expediate reproductive isolation and have the potential to foster phenotypic diversification. ...

Stopping Winter Flooding of Rice Fields to Control Invasive Snails Has no Effect on Waterbird Abundance at the Landscape Scale
(Frontiers Media, 2022)
The invasive apple snail (Pomacea maculata) appeared in 2010 in the Ebro Delta Natural Park, an important area for rice production and waterbird conservation in the eastern Mediterranean. To control crop damage, farmers ...

Root phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase activity is essential for Sorghum bicolor tolerance to ammonium nutrition
(Elsevier, 2024-01)
Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC; EC 4.1.1.31) is an enzyme family with pivotal roles in plant carbon and nitrogen metabolism. A main role for non-photosynthetic PEPC is as anaplerotic enzyme to load tricarboxylic acid ...

Functional assembly of grassland plant species in native communities in Spain and recipient communities in California
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2023-01)
A major aim in invasion ecology is to understand the role of exotic species in plant communities. Whereas most studies have explored the traits of exotic species in the context of the introduced community, functional ...

Soil microbial community composition and functions are disrupted by fire and land use in a Mediterranean woodland
(Elsevier, 2023-10-15)
The intersection of fire, land use transformations, and climate change is putting Mediterranean climate-type ecosystems at risk of soil degradation and loss of ecosystem services. Ondik et al. (2022b) showed that in a ...

Genomic Hotspots of Chromosome Rearrangements Explain Conserved Synteny Despite High Rates of Chromosome Evolution in a Holocentric Lineage
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2023)
Holocentric organisms, unlike typical monocentric organisms, have kinetochore activity distributed along almost the whole length of the chromosome. Because of this, chromosome rearrangements through fission and fusion are ...

Applying the convention on biological diversity pathway classification to alien species in Europe
(2020)
The number of alien species arriving within new regions has increased at unprecedented rates. Managing the pathways through which alien species arrive and spread is important to reduce the threat of biological invasions. ...

Consistency in impact assessments of invasive species is generally high and depends on protocols and impact types
(Pensoft Publishers, 2022)
Impact assessments can help prioritising limited resources for invasive species management. However, their usefulness to provide information for decision-making depends on their repeatability, i.e. the consistency of the ...
