Titanium dioxide is the most investigated single-crystalline system in the surface science of
metal oxides, and the literature on rutile (110),(100),(001), and anatase surfaces is …

Although the impacts of exotic plant invasions on community structure and ecosystem
processes are well appreciated, the pathways or mechanisms that underlie these impacts …

The invasion of ecosystems by exotic species is currently viewed as one of the most
important sources of biodiversity loss. The largest part of this loss occurs on islands, where …

Invasive plant species both threaten native biodiversity and are economically costly,,,,, but
only a few naturalized species become pests,. Here we report broad, quantitative support for …

Islands can serve as model systems for understanding how biological invasions affect
community structure and ecosystem function. Here we show invasion by the alien crazy ant …

With the signing of the Convention on Biological Diversity, and the establishment of a 2010
target for conserving biodiversity, feverish attempts are underway to develop mechanisms …

▪ Abstract A growing number of species have been transported and introduced by humans to
new locations and have established self-sustaining wild populations beyond their natural …

The role of evolution in the invasion of non‐native species has important implications for
conservation, weed science, risk assessment, and policy. In this paper we first discuss why …

Through an interplay between scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and density functional
theory (DFT) calculations, we show that bridging oxygen vacancies are the active nucleation …

Previous treatments of the population biology of eradication have assumed that eradication
can only be achieved via 100% removal of the alien population. However, this assumption …
