The number of invasions by non-native species and their negative impacts is increasing, especially in developing megadiverse countries. The current catalogue of hypotheses, concepts and management policies related to invasions was typically created and evaluated in temperate and economically rich regions....
We hypothesize that native learners of weaving are different from non-native learners in that they are endowed from birth on with the biology and cultural experience needed for weaving. Maya newborns have distinctive patterns of motor behavior and visual attention. These patterns, reinforced by ...

Metaphors for describing the introduction, impacts, and management of non-native species are numerous and often quite outspoken (e.g. invasional meltdown and explosive growth). Policy-makers have adopted increasingly disputed metaphorical terms from scientific discourse. We performed a critical analysis ...
Anthropogenic disturbances are having strong, negative effects on aquatic systems globally, altering ecological communities and potentially creating vacant niches for both native and non-native species (NNS). Globalization and new trade routes have amplified the spread and establishment of NNS by connecting...
Determining the drivers of non-native plant invasions is critical for managing native ecosystems and limiting the spread of invasive species1,2. Tree invasions in particular have been relatively overlooked, even though they have the potential to transfor
A study by Hills and Brooks in the folding of CheY was simulated under a native-centric Gō-type potential also showed evidence of early kinetic frustration of CheY into a species with a prematurely formed interface between the N and C-terminal halves of the protein (α2-3 and β3...
When a NNS is introduced to a new region, there are several obstacles the species need to overcome before it becomes a successful invader. In the tropics, for example, where there is typically high natural biodiversity, complex biotic interactions of the native communities often make it difficult...
