This study examines the fast pyrolysis of rosehip seed waste (RSW) in a fluidized bed reactor, evaluating its potential for syngas production and effective waste valorization. The fluidization behavior of sand/RSW mixtur...

The purpose of the study is to identify a complex of segetal plant species in the fields of agricultural crops. The surveyed area is located in the basin of the Osetr river and its tributaries the Osetrik and the Unitza ...

Abstract Background Invasive candidiasis (IC) remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, particularly among critically ill and immunocompromised patients. The emergence of antifungal resistance, especial...

Invasion by exotic trees into riparian areas has the potential to impact aquatic systems. We examined the effects of the exotic Salix fragilis (crack willow) on the structure and functioning of small streams in northern...

The Suru Valley of district Kargil, UT Ladakh, India is part of the Trans-Himalayan region. Over the past two decades, the region has been experiencing climate change, resulting in outbreaks of many invasive insect speci...

El alga invasora Undaria pinnatifida (Phaeophyceae, Laminariales) fue reportada por primera vez en Golfo Nuevo en 1992, dispersándose ampliamente a lo largo de 170 km de costa en el norte de la Patagonia, Argentina. Obs...

The presence of three Gomphoneis species from Chubut Province in Argentina is documented with light and scanning electron microscopy. Two of the taxa, G. patagoniana and G. eriense var. variabilis, are part of the Hercul...

Abstract Invasive species impact native wildlife in several ways, as they compete for resources and may transmit their specific pathogens. However, the potential consequences of co-introduced parasites are not fully unde...

Identifying the factors that promote the success of biological invasions is a key pursuit in ecology. To date, the link between animal personality and invasiveness has rarely been studied. Here, we examined in the labora...

During the past two decades, techniques for the non-invasive analysis of fecal steroid metabolites (estrogen, androgen, progestagen and glucocorticoid metabolites) have been developed. These techniques have been used for...

Climate change and expanding international trade are accelerating biological invasions, intensifying the need to explore the mechanisms underlying the incorporation of invasive species into native food webs. Importantly,...

Zaprionus indianus is a species of fly native to the Afrotropical biogeographic region, which around twenty years ago invaded the American continent. Several studies have shown that local adaptation and phenotypic plasti...

Invasive alien species are one of the major drivers of biodiversity loss, with birds amongst the most vulnerable taxa affected by their impacts. However, potential impacts on bird communities have rarely been investigate...

The conservation of marine ecosystems depends on the establishment and functioning of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). These areas are not exempt from the effects generated by a variety of anthropogenic stressors. Coastal ...

Gastropoda, with approximately 80,000 living species, is the largest class of Mollusca. Among gastropods, apple snails (family Ampullariidae) are globally distributed in tropical and subtropical freshwater ecosystems and...

Gowertetal. (2025) reported the presence of an adult female Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchust shawytscha) in the Patos Lagoon, Brazil. The authors presented their findings as ‘the firsts cientific record’ of non-native C...

Seed dispersal by vertebrate animals is important for the establishment of many fleshy-fruited plant species. Different frugivorous species can provide different seed dispersal services according to their specific dietar...

Abstract Background Infections caused by members of the Mycobacterium fortuitum complex are generally mild and confined to skin and soft tissues, while severe disease in immunocompetent individuals is uncommon. Within th...

(Biological invasion of Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) de Wit (Fabaceae) in the "Parque Nacional de Brasília", Brazil). This paper evaluated the occurrence of Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) de Wit in an area located inside ...

In the summer of 2019, the Junior Naturalists posed a question regarding the control of Dog Strangling Vine (DSV), an invasive plant that is present in the Humber Arboretum. This group conducts stewardship activities in ...

The Ampullariidae (‘apple snails’) are freshwater caenogastropods of probable Gondwanan origin that are now indigenously distributed in tropical and temperate zones of southern North America, South America, Africa, I...

The introduction of an exotic species usually modifies parasite–host dynamics by the import of new parasites or the exotic species' acquiral of local parasites. The loss of parasites may determine the outcome of an inv...

In studies of herbarium specimens and living material, we observed that several species in the genus Azolla Lam. are present in different wetlands of Costa Rica, which instigated the search for applicable names of each t...

Since its first detection in 2009, spotted wing drosophila (SWD) is common in all of Florida’s fruit-producing counties. Surveys indicate that SWD are active year-round in Florida’s warm climate, with peak activity f...
