Alien plant species are a potential threat to global biodiversity. However, only a few species in a species pool become aliens. Until now, it was unclear how these alien species differ from non-aliens. We considered central European aliens in two Argentine provinces. We found that these alien

Alien species, after becoming locally dominant, invade natural communities and become Invasive Alien Species (IAS). The impacts of exotic plants on community structure and ecosystem processes are poorly understood in India. A total 173 species in 117 genera are invasive alien plants, representing 1

Alien aquatic species is important issue, whch has been slowly eating away at or economy and ecosystem. A bill (HI3 2667) had been brought to the attention of the 2002 Legislature dealing with the growing problems of invasive aquatic species by the Hawaii Audubon Society. There were some signs

In this article we discuss the possibility that an extraterrestrial species could be hostile to humanity, and present estimates for the probability that visitors to the Earth will be aggressive. For this pur-pose we develop a generic model of multiple civilizations which are permitted to interact

The paper is a report on the occurrence of the species Gammarus tigrinus Sexton, 1939, in the coastal waters of Puck Bay. Many species of benthic invertebrates have been introduced into the Baltic Sea (Leppäkoski 1984, Olenin & Leppäkoski 2001). Many of them, like the hydrozoan Cordylophora
