Summary: Predicting the invasion areas of Ambrosia species in Asia is important for early detection and preventive actions. Based on species distribution models and future climate predictions, it was found that Ambrosia artemisiifolia may shift its range southward in China, while A. trifida is predicted to decrease its potential establishment and A. psilostachya may expand its range.

Summary: The study on Prosopis chilensis in Argentina revealed that most morphological variation occurred among individuals within families, significant heritability was observed for economically important traits, and the morphological differentiation among provenances was mainly attributed to individuals from Villa UniOn. Genetic differentiation among provenances was low but significant, and neutrality tests showed a trend towards stabilizing selection, particularly for spine length. Breeding programmes should consider both provenance and familial information and recover germplasm provenance diversity by including seeds from individuals from at least Villa UniOn, Fiambala, and Mogna-Chilecito areas.

Summary: This study conducted a series of choice experiments to determine the preference of Ophraella communa, a natural enemy of the invasive common ragweed, for non-target plant species. The results showed that the beetle poses no threat to sunflowers, cocklebur, and giant ragweed, but has the potential to use cocklebur as an alternative host plant.

Summary: This study investigated the genetic basis of climate adaptation in invasive common ragweed by identifying major and minor QTL underlying flowering time and height differentiation. Several candidate genes for flowering time were identified within each QTL interval. The major flowering time QTL detected in this study was found to overlap with a previously identified haploblock. These findings support the hypothesis that a concentrated genetic architecture with larger and more tightly linked alleles should underlie rapid local adaptation during invasion.

Summary: Mapping quantitative trait loci (QTL) in autotetraploid species is a timely and challenging task. Two papers by Wu and his colleagues proposed statistical methods for QTL mapping in these species, but have been criticized for fundamental conceptual errors from statistical and genetic perspectives.

Summary: Invasive species are a global problem, and effective management strategies are needed. Research has shown that controlling from a spatial perspective is an effective method, with the outside-in strategy being more effective than the inside-out strategy. Through this study, the efficiency of policy implementation for invasive species can be improved.

Summary: Biological invasions play a significant role in global biodiversity decline, with potential extinction debt and shifts in ecological strategies and evolutionary history of mammals and birds. The impact of invasive species on phylogenetic and trait dimensions of diversity is evident, particularly in the Oceanian realm, suggesting the need for a comprehensive approach in future studies to prioritize spatial strategies for combatting IAS threats worldwide.

Summary: This study focused on the population genetics of a plant species in fragmented habitats. The results showed that long-lived clonal species may be buffered against the negative effects of fragmentation. The relationship between quantitative genetic and geographic distance may be a more sensitive indicator of selection than Q(ST)-F-ST differences.

Summary: Through a comprehensive analysis of F-2 hybrids and their parent species, it was confirmed that F-2-A and F-2-H/A hybrids had clear advantages in terms of high salinity tolerance and fast growth over their grandparent species, indicating their potential to be used as the foundations of a new strain.

Summary: This study introduces a protocol and software program for the selection of native plant species as biocontrol agents for invasive exotic plants. The software successfully identified Bougainvillea spectabilis as a potential biocontrol agent for Leucaena leucocephala, limiting the invasion of the latter. Overall, the protocol and software can efficiently select native plant species for biological control of invasive exotic plant species.

Summary: We have developed quantitative toxicity prediction models for organic pesticides of agricultural importance using a novel quantitative Read-across structure-activity relationship approach. The models were validated using experimental data of different fish species and were found to have good fit, robustness, and external predictivity. The qRASAR approach shows potential as an effective alternative method for aquatic toxicity prediction and ecotoxicity potential identification.

Summary: The use of herbicide-tolerant varieties (HTVs) in sunflower fields leads to lower weed diversity, but has no significant impact on field margin community diversity. The lower weed diversity in HTV fields is mainly attributed to increased herbicide use and shorter crop rotations, while landscape factors play a more important role in field margin diversity. HTV fields have higher abundance of A. artemisiifolia compared to organic and conventional fields.

Summary: The study found that ragweed resistance to ALS inhibitors is mainly through non-target site resistance (NTSR), with different NTSR mechanisms endowing different resistance patterns. This research provides new data on ragweed resistance to herbicides and emphasizes the importance of local resistance management and mitigating gene flow from populations where resistance has arisen.

Summary: Assessing the capacity of weeds to develop herbicide resistance before it occurs in the field is crucial for effective chemical weed control. This study used herbicide selection and controlled crosses to accelerate the evolution of resistance to two commonly used herbicides in Ambrosia artemisiifolia. The results showed that non-target-site-based resistance (NTSR) to herbicides was significantly increased in just two generations of selection. NTSR to the tested herbicides emerged and was reinforced in subsequent generations. Further bioassays confirmed the emergence of resistance to imazamox and/or tribenuron in multiple A. artemisiifolia populations. NTSR was found to be the predominant type of resistance, with only one population showing a mutant ALS allele in addition to NTSR. This study highlights the importance of pre-emptive assessment of resistance evolution in weed populations.
