Like alien plant invasion, range expansion of native plants may threaten biodiversity and economies, rendering them native invaders. Variation in abiotic and biotic conditions across a large geographic scale greatly affects variation in traits and interactions with herbivores of native plant invaders, which is an interesting yet mostly unexplored issue. We used a common garden experiment to compare defensive/nutritional traits...

The velocity of ocean currents significantly affects the trajectory prediction of ocean drifters and the safe navigation of intelligent vessels. Currently, most ocean current predictions focus on time-based forecasts at specific fixed points. In this study, deep learning based on the flow field prediction model (CNNs–MHA–BiLSTMs) is proposed, which predicts the changes in ocean currents by learning from historical flow fields....
