Plant invasion and naturalization are influenced by genome size, ecology and economic use globally.
Human factors and plant characteristics are important drivers of plant invasions, which threaten ecosystem integrity, biodiversity and human well-being. However, while previous studies often examined a limited number of factors or focused on a specific invasion stage (e.g., naturalization) for specific regions, a multi-factor and multi-stage analysis at the global...Guo, Kun ; Pyšek, Petr ; van Kleunen, Mark ; Kinlock, Nicole L. ; Lučanová, Magdalena …

The bii4africa dataset of faunal and floral population intactness estimates across Africa’s major land uses.
Sub-Saharan Africa is under-represented in global biodiversity datasets, particularly regarding the impact of land use on species’ population abundances. Drawing on recent advances in expert elicitation to ensure data consistency, 200 experts were convened using a modified-Delphi process to estimate ‘intactness scores’: the remaining proportion of an ‘intact’ reference population... -

Seed Imbibition and Metabolism Contribute Differentially to Initial Assembly of the Soybean Holobiont.
Seed germination critically determines successful plant establishment and agricultural productivity. In the plant holobiont's life cycle, seeds are hubs for microbial communities’ assembly, but what exactly shapes the holobiont during germination remains unknown. Here, 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing characterized the bacterial communities in embryonic compartments (cotyledons and axes) and...Gerna, Davide ; Clara, David ; Antonielli, Livio ; Mitter, Birgit ; Roach, Thomas

Rapid diversification of grey mangroves (Avicennia marina) driven by geographic isolation and extreme environmental conditions in the Arabian Peninsula.
Biological systems occurring in ecologically heterogeneous and spatially discontinuous habitats provide an ideal opportunity to investigate the relative roles of neutral and selective factors in driving lineage diversification. The grey mangroves ( ) of Arabia occur at the northern edge of the species' range and are subject to variable, often...
