Population Genomics of a Cosmopolitan Weed Provides Insights Into Its Local Adaptation and Recent Demographic HistoryNARA Subscribed
Invasive plant species present a growing ecological and economic challenge, and often adapt rapidly to their novel environments through complex demographic and evolutionary processes. Invasion genomics offers powerful tools to disentangle these processes, but most studies rely on geographically narrow sampling across native and non‐native ranges. Erigeron canadensis is a cosmopolitan weed native to North America that has succe...
Acoustic Indices Reveal Fundamental Differences in Daily Phenology of Tropical and Temperate Forest SoundscapesNARA Subscribed
Aim Forests support the majority of the planet's terrestrial biodiversity, and in recent years the characterisation of soundscapes has emerged as a powerful tool for understanding forest ecosystems, both in terms of ecology and for the purpose of conservation. But it is still poorly understood to what extent generalisations can be made about soundscapes in different parts of the world, and to what extent we should expect sound...
Shared and Divergent Processes Linked to Monocot Diversity Across the Mediterranean Climate RegionsNARA Subscribed
Aim The five Mediterranean regions of the globe are plant biodiversity hotspots, and there has not been a comparative analytical framework examining correlates of diversity across these regions. Of Mediterranean plant diversity, monocots constitute a considerable proportion that has yet to be explicitly examined comparatively. We combine phylogenetic, spatial biodiversity and environmental data to test if shared or divergent p...
Marine megafauna species are affected by a wide range of anthropogenic threats. To evaluate the risk of such threats, species’ vulnerability to each threat must first be determined. We build on the existing threats classification scheme and ranking system of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species by assessing the vulnerability of 256 marine megafauna species to 23 at‐sea threat...
Together again: the invasive mustard Hesperis matronalis suffers devastating seed predation by a recently adventive specialist weevilNARA Subscribed
The enemy release hypothesis underpins classical (or importation) biocontrol as a management technique for invasive species. Classical biocontrol has had resounding success when prospective control agents have been subject to appropriate screening before release. Occasionally, however, natural enemies have been reunited with their hosts accidentally. Such adventive agents may provide effective control but have also avoided the...
