❓ Do you think inland cities are prepared to detect and manage new non-native ant species in time?
We look forward to reading your thoughts in the comments.

Is that out in the wild? An escaped pet? If so, this should not be celebrated, it should be captured so it does not negatively effect native species. #exoticspecies #feralanimals

Ants from the tropical dry forest in the Cauca River geographic valley, Colombia: new records and expansion of distributions Tropical dry forests (TDF) are amongst the most important tropical biomes globally, recognised for their remarkable biodiversity. This biome features a favourable climate and high soil fertility, whic...

Researchers from Colombia compared ant diversity between two habitat types, tropical dry forest fragments and the surrounding matrices in the Cauca River Valley region.

Green mussel Perna viridis (L.) on the Brazilian coast: a fast-spreading invasive species reaching protected areas - Marine Biology Since 1995, the spread of the green mussel Perna viridis (L.) along the South American coast has raised concerns about its potential impacts on coastal communities in vulnerable areas. This study pres...

Tiger-cats, sea squirts and beetles, oh my! Meet some species identified in 2024 From charismatic macrofauna to tiny sea squirts, here are some species formally identified by scientists in 2024.

Imagine how exhilarating it is to find new species every year. It’s the culmination of often decades of hard work. After the celebrations, though, you then realize they are already threatened with #Extinction We have to end the trade in #ExoticSpecies #LetThemLive www.npr.org/2024/12/31/n...

Do Aquatic Macrophytes Limit the Invasion Potential of Exotic Species in Pantanal Grasslands? - Wetlands Natural disturbances have the potential to limit exotic species invasions. The exotic grass, Urochloa humidicola, has high propagation potential following seasonal flooding, but, flooding tends to reduce the cover. Neither the potential for U. humidicola form a seed bank for recruitment following seasonal flooding, nor the mechanism responsible for reducing adult plant cover during floods is currently known. The soil seed bank of a U. humidicola was sampled for 2 years. To examine the potential role of competition with aquatic macrophytes in reducing its cover during floods, cuttings of U. humidicola were flooded in tanks in presence and absence of aquatic macrophytes for 3 months. Seedling density of U. humidicola was higher post-flood (245 seedlings/m−2) than the post-dry (130 seedlings/m−2). Germination occurred throughout the year, with highest seedling densities at the five to 7 months following soil collection. Competition with aquatic plants significantly increased mortality (c. 70%) of inundated U. humidicola. Our findings suggest that the survival potential of U. humidicola under flood is high, but is limited by shading of aquatic macrophytes. Nonetheless, its seed bank germinates throughout the year, though delayed by flooding. Control of invasive species in grasslands of the Pantanal depend on natural hydrological and biological drives.
