DOI: 10.1007/s10530-020-02358-7
Abstract: In aquatic systems, invasive submerged macrophytes considerably alter the structure and functioning of communities, thus potentially compromising ecosystem services. The prolific spread of invasive macrophytes is often aided by vegetative fragment propagation, yet the contributions… read more here.

Submerged seed, turion and oospore rain: A trap quantifying propagule deposition under aquatic vegetation

DOI: 10.1016/j.aquabot.2017.11.007
Abstract: Abstract Submerged, free-floating and floating-leaved macrophytes produce a broad variety of specialized propagules to ensure population continuity and enhance dispersal. We quantified macrophyte propagule deposition in shallow ponds using a trap positioned near the sediment,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecss.2019.04.003
Abstract: Abstract Mangrove rehabilitation projects often fail completely or fail to meet their objectives. This study examines village-level rehabilitation planting carried out in 13 villages (119 rehabilitation attempts at 74 sites) across two countries in southeast… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/inp.2017.4
Abstract: Many introduced species are capable of both sexual and vegetative reproduction. Our understanding of the ecology of such species depends on the trade-offs between vegetative and sexual reproduction and the ecological conditions that favor both… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/2041-210x.12930
Abstract: 1.Identifying the factors that determine the success of biological invasions has major consequences for both ecological theory and conservation decision-making. Reliably inferring these factors depends on adequately accounting for the known effects of propagule pressure… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/mec.16385
Abstract: When an alien species establishes at a new location, it must spread to become an invader. The extent to which propagule pressure promotes the spread of invaders, especially at local scales, is often difficult to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pbio.2005987
Abstract: A consistent determinant of the establishment success of alien species appears to be the number of individuals that are introduced to found a population (propagule pressure), yet variation in the form of this relationship has… read more here.

Uninterrupted embryonic growth leading to viviparous propagule formation in woody mangrove

DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2022.1061747
Abstract: Vivipary is a rare sexual reproduction phenomenon where embryos germinate directly on the maternal plants. However, it is a common genetic event of woody mangroves in the Rhizophoraceae family. The ecological benefits of vivipary in… read more here.
