Since its emergence in the mid-20th century, invasion biology has matured into a productive research field addressing questions of fundamental and applied importance. Not only number empirical studies increased through time, but also competing, overlapping and, some cases, contradictory hypotheses about biological invasions. To make these contradictions redundancies explicit, to gain insight field's current theoretical structure, we developed Delphi approach create consensus network 39...
Abstract Protistan pathogens have been found to infect populations of some large brown macroalgae. Infection could reduce the ability macroalgae withstand hydrodynamic pressures through weakening tissues and reducing flexibility. Widespread mortality if disease outbreaks were occur important flow-on consequences for biodiversity ecosystem function. Recent discoveries protistan pathogen Maullinia infecting ecologically keystone southern bull kelp Durvillaea in Chile, Australia, on Marion...
Abstract Perennial bioenergy crops are a key tool in decarbonizing global energy systems, but to ensure the efficient use of land resources, it is essential that yields and crop longevity maximized. Remedial shallow surface tillage being explored commercial Miscanthus plantations as an approach reinvigorate older rectify poor establishment, improving yields. There posited links, however, between losses soil carbon (C) via increased ecosystem C fluxes atmosphere. As utilized crop, changes...
Abstract Invasive species are a global threat to biodiversity and there is pressing need better understand why some become invasive outside of their native range, others do not. One explanation for success release from concurrent natural enemies upon introduction the non-native range. The so-called enemy hypothesis (ERH) has conflicting support, depending ecosystem investigated. To date, most studies testing generality ERH have focused on terrestrial ecosystems. Here, we tested whether might...
