Biological invasions are an important component of anthropogenic global change and are a major source of environmental and economic damage. Future distributions of invasive species are expected to shift as a result of ...

Anthropogenic activities have greatly modified the way nitrogen moves through the atmosphere and terrestrial and aquatic environments. Excess reactive nitrogen generated through fossil fuel combustion, industrial fixation, ...

Life history theory posits a trade-off between investment in self and reproduction depending on environment. Because of their increased investment in prenatal offspring, females in particular may exercise prudence if ...

Relatively little is known about the life histories of cephalopods compared to many other groups of major marine predators such as fish, marine mammals, and sea birds. Increased importance of cephalopods to global fisheries ...

Adaptation to novel and changing environmental conditions is crucial for the persistence and range expansion of species in the context of biological invasions and climate change. Investigating the mechanisms by which ...

Plant immigrants face wide arrays of environmental factors that may thwart or restrict their persistence in natural plant communities. Biotic interactions with native species, in particular, may block or restrict non-native ...

A species' range is the result of ecological and evolutionary constraints on population persistence. The direct effects of abiotic and biotic factors on individual survival, ecological constraints, are proximate causes of ...

Identifying future plant invaders could drastically reduce the economic costs and environmental damages these species inflict annually. As an addendum to Weed Risk Assessments, I erected and tested a series of pre-introduction ...
