Invasion ecology has traditionally focused on exotic plant species with early successional
life‐history traits, adapted to colonize areas following disturbance. However, the ecological …

Despite their ecological, economic and social importance, grasslands in areas with
Mediterranean climates continue to receive limited scientific, political and media attention …

Urbanization is a global phenomenon that is increasingly challenging human society. It is
therefore crucially important to ensure that the relentless expansion of cities and towns …

Urbanization is increasingly homogenizing the biota of less developed countries. Even
though urban sprawl is a worldwide problem, most studies on the effects of urbanization …

Alien plant species are a growing concern in protected areas, yet little information is
available on the role of roads as corridors for alien species and the effects of elevation, land …

Biological invasions are characterized by remarkable spatio-temporal dynamics, with many
species having extended their distribution range from within a single region to much of the …

We assessed the effect that electromagnetic field (EMF) exerts on honeybees' pollination
efficiency using field and laboratory experiments. First, we measured levels of gene and …

Invasive plants can be larger and more fecund in their invasive range than in their native
range, although it is unknown how often this is a result of a genetically controlled shift in …

Natural reserves or protected areas are a keystone of global strategies for biological
conservation. With over 18% of its land under protection, Chile faces challenges similar to …

Phenotypic plasticity has been suggested as the main mechanism for species persistence
under a global change scenario, and also as one of the main mechanisms that alien species …
