If there is a tendency for invasions to affectisland communities more than mainland ones, it is far from universal; virtuallyevery kind of damage wrought by invaders on islands has also been wrought inmainland areas. It is unlikely that, by virtue of their reduced species richnessalone, island...
three hotspots of inselberg plant diversity can be iden-tified, which are rich in both species and endemics: (1)southeastern Brazil, (2) Madagascar, and (3) southwesternAustralia. It has to be emphasized, however, that for sev-eral tropical regions (e.g., Angola, India), our knowledgeof...
Caruel (Scrophulariaceae), were examined in habitats where introduced, mixed introduced plus native, or solely native species provided potential hosts. Presence of haustoria on host roots confirmed parasitism of 17 introduced and ten native taxa across the sites investigated. Paired plots, one with ...

In the United Kingdom, it is presently the most aggressive common herbaceous species. See articleIntroduced Plants...

Successful marine introductions depend on (1) presence of a transport vector, uptake of propagules and j ourney survival of the species; (2) suitable environmental conditions in the receiving habitat; and(3) biological traits of the invader to facilitate establishment. Knowledge has improved of ...
Environmental DNA surveys have been used in targeted detection (i.e. single species) studies with qPCR assays14,15,16,17, and in community (i.e. multi-species) studies using metabarcoding18,19,20. These surveys are highly sensitive and once the methodology is optimised are amenable to ...
Mammals of particular conservation concern in the Western Division of New South Wales At least 27 of the original species have become regionally extinct, and a further 11 have declined in distribution. As in other regions of Australia, ... C.R. Dickman and R.L. Pressey and L. Lim and ...
In Chile, the aphid Sitobion avenae is of recent introduction, lives on cultivated and wild Poaceae, and is thought to reproduce by permanent parthenogenesis. In order to study the genetic variability and population structure of this species, five microsatellite loci were typed from individual aphids...
