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 characterize soil properties at these sites....
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...
Horticultural commerce of ornamental plants has been the source of many of our most troublesome plant invaders worldwide. The purpose of this research was to document the knowledge gap of industry perspectives and knowledge of invasive ornamental crops by surveying industry professionals in the Midwest ...
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...
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...
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...
This is done as an initial step towards the identification of potential agents for biological control of this plant species invasive in Europe and North America. It is shown that more insect (but apparently not fungal) species attack R. rugosa in its native range than in its exotic range, ...
Invasive species cause widespread species extinction and economic loss. There is an increasing need to identify ways to efficiently target control efforts
— 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 ...
