Will we meet members of the Neobiota community in September in Berlin? Our publisher Pensoft will join the Wildlife Research and Conservation conference organised by Leibniz-IZW, so come say hi if you are there: neobiota.pensoft.net/news/456

This study examines the efficacy of capsaicin-coated eggs in deterring mammals from disturbing live traps for invasive populations of Argentine Black and White Tegu lizards in Georgia and Florida. The results indicate that the method is not effective: doi.org/10.3897/neobio…

Researchers investigated the current invasion risk of e-commerce plant trade in Australia. Despite biosecurity regulations & trade prohibitions, 1415 out of a total of 235162 plant advertisements were of invasive plants: doi.org/10.3897/neobio…

Researchers studied the feeding ecology of invasive sticklebacks in Lake Constance via monthly stable isotope analysis of their muscle and liver tissue. Results suggest that they are predators of whitefish larvae and eggs: doi.org/10.3897/neobio…

A new study presents a comparative #mitogenomic analysis of native European and alien Ponto-Caspian #amphipod species. A significantly expanded dataset with mitochondrial genomes for most major native and invasive species in Europe is also included: doi.org/10.3897/neobio…

The invasive alien #Impatiens glandulifera may play a significant role in the process of intraspecific and interspecific pathogens transmission. #Pollinators of the Himalayan balsam, as well as the fungi that colonised its flowers, were identified: doi.org/10.3897/neobio…

Pollinators of invasive giant hogweed in the Czech Republic were compared to species composition of pollinators on native vegetation. Findings show that H. mantegazzianum is not a necessary part of flower communities for flower visiting insects: doi.org/10.3897/neobio…

The Formosan subterranean termite causes substantial economic destruction.

Their voracious appetite and large population sizes contribute to greater damage compared to that of native termite species.
