DOI: 10.1002/ece3.70669
Abstract: ABSTRACT Plants host microorganisms that can facilitate their success in becoming invasive. Established plant invasions might thus provide useful insights into potential changes in plant‐associated microbiomes over the course of the invasion process. Here, we… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10530-020-02367-6
Abstract: Despite good recognition of distributions and spread mechanisms of the three most invasive trees in Europe ( Prunus serotina , Quercus rubra and Robinia pseudoacacia ), their impacts on forest biodiversity are unevenly recognized. Most… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/femsec/fiae019
Abstract: Abstract Alpha-diversity indices are an essential tool for describing and comparing biodiversity. Microbial ecologists apply indices originally intended for, or adopted by, macroecology to address questions relating to taxonomy (conserved marker) and function (metagenome-based data).… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/femsec/fiaf078
Abstract: Abstract Depuration, or the process of clearing impurities from the gut, is commonly applied to marine food products due to its efficacy in removing human pathogens from shellfish and edible ascidians. Recent studies also reported… read more here.
