We focused on Lespedeza cuneata , a plant that may be allelopathic. Soil samples were collected from four locations in Central Missouri, USA: an old-field with abundant L. cuneata , two reconstructed sites, and a remnant prairie that has never been plowed. Soil health indictors were used to...
Foraging strategies may also lead to variation in SDE between plant species, as different fruiting species have an unequal chance of selection: fruit choice of vertebrate frugivores generally depends on fruit traits (Crestaniet al.,2019), crop size (Ortiz-Pulidoet al.,2007), spatial aggregation o...
— K. R. Thompson, Missouri State University, Choice “There is much to be admired in the book. It seeks to light a little fire under a pot that has been very hard to bring to a political boil: how to get better laws in the United States to control species introductions for groups ...
Heavy grazing by the invasive rabbits reduced plant cover, exposing the albatross chicks to the harsh weather conditions. This relationship between extreme weather and invasive species – two human-driven drivers of global change – threatens native plants and animals and...
pilosa may contribute to the naturalization and invasiveness of the species in the introduced ranges. This is the first review article focusing on the invasive mechanisms of the species. Citation: Kato-Noguchi, H.; Kurniadie, D. The Invasive Mechanisms of the Noxious Alien Plant Species Bidens ...
The raintree (Albizia saman) is an invasive plant widespread in many parts of India. (Photo Credit : paikong/Shutterstock) But what does this mean? Why do we use words like “struggling” and “control” when talking about invasive species? Many people support the idea that if a spe...
International trade is a primary source of introduction of IAS as stowaways or contaminants in goods and packing materials2,9,10. The pet and plant trades are major sources of animal and plant introductions, due to the frequent escape or release of imported species into the wild11, and a pr...

It is an important driver of environmental change and poses a significant threat to native biodiversity due to the ability of exotic plants to invade and establish in natural or semi-natural areas [3]. The potential for exotic invasive species to displace native plant species remains high unless...
Eeeek, I hate ticks (I am sure nobody loves them). I still have nightmares of ticks back from when I lived in the small town of Rothville, Missouri. Little Laura Ingalls was raised near this town for a short part of her childhood, and then moved. I always joked that the Ingalls fam...
