Coastal habitats provide the link between the land and the sea. They are dynamic, combine
to form ecosystems of great complexity and provide significant areas for wildlife. Their …

Invasive plants represent a significant financial burden for land managers and also have the
potential to severely degrade ecosystems. Arthropods interact strongly with plants, relying …

Despite our growing understanding of the impacts of invasive plants on ecosystem structure
and function, important gaps remain, including whether native and exotic species respond …

Salt marshes are interesting and endangered ecosystems in West-Europe. Nevertheless,
their arthropod fauna remains largely unknown and the factors determining assemblages at …

Exotic plant species often negatively affect native herbivores due to the lack of palatability of
the invading plant. Although often unsuitable as food, certain invasive species may provide …

Impact of cutting and sheep grazing on ground–active spiders and carabids in salt marshes
(West France).—The aims of this study were to characterize spider (Araneae) and ground …

Salinity interacts with many physiological functions and therefore probably influences the
distribution of terrestrial fauna in tidal flooded salt marshes. The present study tests the …

Dog-strangling vine (Vincetoxicum rossicum) is an exotic plant originating from Central and
Eastern Europe that is becoming increasingly invasive in southern Ontario, Canada. Once …

Soil salinity and the salinity of trophic resources may alter the osmoregulatory processes of
arthropod, challenging the smooth regulation of body water, and, ultimately, survival. The …

Since the early 1990s managed realignment, where formerly reclaimed land is re-exposed
to tidal inundation through breaching of coastal embankments, has been increasingly used …
