Genetic structure of native and naturalized populations of sable (Martes zibellina L.) of the Central Siberian Plateau and adjacent territories Biol. Invasions (IF 2.9) Pub Date : 2024-04-07
Abstract The sable (Martes zibellina L.) range extends from the western slopes of the Ural Mountains to the Far East. Sable has a complex intraspecific structure; geographic populations differ in a number of morphological traits. Unregulated sable hunting for several centuries, forest fires and industrialization of Siberia led to a sharp decline in the species’ population size and the fragmentation

Imperfect adaptation by freshwater crocodiles to the invasion of a toxic prey species Biol. Invasions (IF 2.9) Pub Date : 2024-04-05 Mike Letnic, Tim Dempster, Tim S. Jessop, Jonathan K. Webb
Novel interactions between invaders and native species that have evolved in their absence may impose strong selective pressures that drive species to extinction or prompt rapid co-evolution and learning. Here, we report on the effects that invasive cane toads, a toxic prey species, have had on freshwater crocodile populations in 7 waterholes of the Victoria River, Australia, before and up to 14 years

A retrospective examination of early pest and disease outbreaks, such as ink disease, offers new insights into their impact on ecosystems and landscapes. Ink disease, caused by Phytophthora spp., is one of the most destructive diseases affecting Castanea sativa Mill. It first appeared in Europe in the early 18th century, with the initial recorded case in Italy (Piedmont) dating back to 1845. However

The black carp (Mylopharyngodon piceus) is a non-native molluscivore established in the Mississippi River Basin, USA. Given that it is not practical to directly measure predation risk for every mollusk species black carp may encounter in the Mississippi River Basin, investigating morphological traits that influence vulnerability can provide a basis for making predictions of predator–prey outcomes for

Climate change plays an increasing role in the global biodiversity crisis. Alteration in local climatic conditions not only can negatively affect native biodiversity but also can accelerate the introduction and spread of invasive species. In this study the ecological niche modelling approach was used to evaluate possible changes in the distribution of suitable niches of invasive orchid Eulophia graminea

Distribution models in invasive plants with climatic niche expansion: a case study of Ulex europaeus L. in Colombian Andes Biol. Invasions (IF 2.9) Pub Date : 2024-04-02
Abstract Invasive plants have a wide distribution worldwide. Their ability to adapt and colonize different climates is attributed to the phenotypic plasticity and the expansion of the climatic niche of the species. Simultaneously, their distribution patterns will be affected by climate change, creating or reducing the ideal areas for their establishment. We evaluated the current and potential distribution

Currently, information on these aspects is scarce on small Mediterranean islands, where house mouse management programs are rising. Using spatially explicit
