This study investigates the population genomics and phylogeography of invasive lantana in Australia, revealing genetically divergent taxa and hybrids, and highlights the need for taxonomic revision to improve management.

This study shows that microbial functional shifts after revegetation occur in distinct phases, with early changes in soil health processes and later development of plant growth-promoting traits.

The paper shows agriculture increases positive selection on nitrate reduction genes in soil bacteria globally, altering protein evolution in key microbial processes.

This study examines reproductive strategies in Carpobrotus taxa, finding no trade-off between sexual and clonal reproduction, with non-native populations showing higher investment in both.

The paper examines spatial sorting of dispersal-related traits in invasive starlings in South Africa and Australia, finding spatial sorting in Australia but not South Africa, possibly due to differences in dispersal rates and genetic factors.
