Common house ants form supercolonies, prosper in urban settings
One of the most common house ant species might have been built for living in some of the smallest spaces in a forest, but the ants have found ways to take advantage of the comforts of city living. View More (2010-03-31)
Assembling the transcriptome of a noxious weed: New resources for studying how plants invade
In order to build and maintain cells, DNA is copied into ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecules, also called transcripts. Transcripts are often like a recipe for making proteins, and a collection of all the transcripts in a cell is called a transcriptome. View More (2013-03-06)
Market transactions and economics in general affect biological invasions
Biological invasions, i.e. the spread of introduced, non-native species, not only serve as ecological model systems, but also bring out the importance of economic activities on ecological processes. View More (2011-10-10)
Invasive Plants Can Create Positive Ecological Change
A team of scientists has discovered that human-introduced, invasive species of plants can have positive ecological effects. View More (2011-02-11)
Species detectives track unseen evolution
New species are evading detection using a foolproof disguise - their own unchanged appearance. Research published in the online open access journal, BMC Evolutionary Biology, suggests that the phenomenon of different animal species not being visually distinct despite other significant genetic differences is widespread in the animal kingdom.

Global Plant Diversity Hinges on Local Battles Against Invasive Species
In Missouri forests, dense thickets of invasive honeysuckle decrease the light available to other plants, hog the attention of pollinators and offer nutrient-stingy berries to migrating birds. View More (2013-01-24)
What Triggers Mass Extinctions? Study Shows How Invasive Species Stop New Life
An influx of invasive species can stop the dominant natural process of new species formation and trigger mass extinction events, according to research results published today in the journal PLoS ONE. View More (2011-01-03)
Ecologists give evidence to climate change inquiry
The UK should use its presidency of the G8 and EU to move forward international action to analyse future risks due to climate change and develop and implement evidence-based adaptation strategies for coping with the immediate impacts of climate change, the British Ecological Society has urged. Giving evidence to the House of Commons Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee on Wednesday 8... View More (2004-12-08)
Invasive species harms native hardwoods by killing soil fungus
An invasive weed that has spread across much of the U.S. harms native maples, ashes, and other hardwood trees by releasing chemicals harmful to a soil fungus the trees depend on for growth and survival. View More (2006-04-26)
Sea lampreys fear the smell of death
A repellant for sea lampreys could be the key to better controlling one of the most destructive invasive species in the Great Lakes, says a Michigan State University researcher. View More (2011-08-08)
DCIS patients who get invasive breast cancer have higher mortality
Women with ductal carcinoma in situ-DCIS-who later develop invasive breast cancer in the same breast are at higher risk of dying from breast cancer than those who do not develop invasive disease, according to a study published online March 11 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. View More (2011-03-14)
Invading species can extinguish native plants despite recent reports
Ecologists at the University of Toronto and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETH Zurich) have found that, given time, invading exotic plants will likely eliminate native plants growing in the wild despite recent reports to the contrary. View More (2013-01-10)
Regulation recommendations so that biofuel plants don't become weeds
In the United States, only species listed on state or federal noxious weed lists are regulated, and those lists are often biased toward species that affect agricultural crops. View More (2013-03-27)
Invasive species threaten critical habitats, oyster among victims
A study of oyster reefs in a once-pristine California coastal estuary found them devastated by invasive Atlantic Coast crabs and snails, providing new evidence of the consequences when human activities move species beyond their natural borders. View More (2009-07-20)
Second-hand smoke increases risk of invasive meningococcal disease in children
The dangers of second-hand smoke (passive smoking) on children continue to become ever more apparent. View More (2012-12-10)
Invasive pest danger closer than you think
In Australia, when crossing from one state to another, travelers may encounter a quarantine stop and may be required to forfeit recently purchased fruits and vegetables as a hedge against invasive pests. View More (2010-12-02)
Researchers Find Asian Needle Ants Displacing Other Aggressive Invaders
Researchers from North Carolina State University have found that one of the most aggressive invasive ant species in the United States - the Argentine ant - appears to have met its match in the Asian needle ant. View More (2013-02-11)
UF scientists find state record 87 eggs in largest python from Everglades
University of Florida researchers curating a 17-foot-7-inch Burmese python, the largest found in Florida, discovered 87 eggs in the snake, also a state record. View More (2012-08-14)
Protein predicts development of invasive breast cancer in women with DCIS, Penn study shows
Women with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) who exhibit an overexpression of the protein HER2/neu have a six-fold increase in risk of invasive breast cancer. View More (2009-05-22)
Northwestern United States could face more tamarisk invasion by century's end
If the future warming trends that scientists have projected are realized, one of the country's most aggressive exotic plants will have the potential to invade more U.S. land area, according to a new study published in the current issue of the journal Invasive Plant Science and Management.
