    • Trait positions for elevated invasiveness in adaptive ecological networks 

      Hui, Cang; Richardson, David M.; Landi, Pietro; Minoarivelo, Henintsoa O.; Roy, Helen E.; Latombe, Guillaume; Jing, Xin; CaraDonna, Paul J.; Gravel, Dominique; Beckage, Brian; Molofsky, Jane (Springer, 2021)
      Our ability to predict the outcome of invasion declines rapidly as non-native species progress through intertwined ecological barriers to establish and spread in recipient ecosystems. This is largely due to the lack of ...

    • A review of fire management practices in African savanna-protected areas 

      Nieman, Willem A.; Van Wilgen, Brian W.; Leslie, Alison J. (AOSIS, 2021)
      The level of understanding of the ecological effects of fires has improved over the past century, but comprehensive information on the practical application of fire remains restricted to a few well-studied areas, and ...

    • The relationship between bite force, morphology, and diet in southern African agamids 

      Tan, W. C.; Measey, J.; Vanhooydonck, B.; Herrel, A. (BioMed Central, 2021)
      Background: Many animals display morphological and behavioural adaptations to the habitats in which they live and the resources they exploit. Bite force is an important whole-organism performance trait that allows an ...

    • Range-wide population viability analyses reveal high sensitivity to wildflower harvesting in extreme environments 

      Treurnicht, Martina; Schurr, Frank M.; Slingsby, Jasper A.; Esler, Karen J.; Pagel, Jorn (Wiley Online, 2021)
      Abstract 1. The ecological effects of harvesting from wild populations are often uncertain, especially since the sensitivity of populations to harvesting can vary across species’ geographical ranges. In the Cape Floristic ...

    • A metamorphic origin for Europa's ocean 

      Daswani, Mohit Melwani; Vance, Steven D.; Mayne, Matthew J.; Glein, Christopher R. (John Wiley & Sons, Inc, 2021)
      Europa likely contains an iron-rich metal core. For it to have formed, temperatures within Europa reached urn:x-wiley:00948276:media:grl62926:grl62926-math-00011250 K. Going up to that temperature, accreted chondritic ...

    • Four priority areas to advance invasion science in the face of rapid environmental change 

      Ricciardi, A.; Iacarella, J. C.; Aldridge, D. C.; Blackburn, T. M.; Carlton, J. T.; Catford, J. A.; Dick, J. T. A.; Hulme, P. E.; Jeschke, J. M.; Liebhold, A. M.; Lockwood, J. L.; MacIsaac, H. J.; Meyerson, L. A.; Pysek, P.; Richardson, D. M.; Ruiz, G. M.; Simberloff, D.; Vila, M.; Wardle, D. A. (Canadian Science Publishing, 2021)
      Unprecedented rates of introduction and spread of non-native species pose burgeoning challenges to biodiversity, natural resource management, regional economies, and human health. Current biosecurity efforts are failing ...

    • Assessment of C, N, and Si Isotopes as tracers of past ocean nutrient and carbon cycling 

      Farmer, J. R.; Hertzberg, J. E.; Cardinal, D.; Fietz, S.; Hendry, K.; Jaccard, S. L.; Paytan, A.; Rafter, P. A.; Ren, H.; Somes, C. J.; Sutton, J. N. (John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2021)
      Biological productivity in the ocean directly influences the partitioning of carbon between the atmosphere and ocean interior. Through this carbon cycle feedback, changing ocean productivity has long been hypothesized ...

    • Around the world in 500 years: Inter-regional spread of alien species over recent centuries 

      Seebens, Hanno; Blackburn, Tim M.; Hulme, Philip E.; Van Kleunen, Mark; Liebhold, Andrew M.; Orlova-Bienkowskaja, Marina; Pyšek, Petr; Schindler, Stefan; Essl, Franz (John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2021)
      Aim: The number of alien species has been increasing for centuries world-wide, but temporal changes in the dynamics of their inter-regional spread remain unclear. Here, we analyse changes in the rate and extent of ...
