Data from: Restoration of native saltmarshes can reverse arthropod assemblages and trophic interactions changed by a plant invasion

Plant invasions profoundly impact both natural and managed ecosystems, and removal of the invasive plants addresses only part of the problem of restoring impacted areas. The rehabilitation of diverse communities and their ecosystem functions following removal of invasive plants is an important goal of ecological restoration. Arthropod assemblages and trophic interactions are important indicators of the success of restoration, but have largely been overlooked in saltmarshes. We determined how arthropod assemblages and trophic interactions changed with the invasion of the exotic plant Spartina alterniflora and with the restoration of the native plant Phragmites australis following Spartina removal in a Chinese saltmarsh. We investigated multiple biotic and abiotic variables to gain insight into the factors underlying the changes in arthropod assemblages and trophic structure. We found that although Spartina invasion had changed arthropod diversity, community structure, feeding-guild composition, and the diets of arthropod natural enemies in the saltmarsh, these changes could be reversed by the restoration of native Phragmites vegetation following removal of the invader. The variation in arthropod assemblages and trophic structure were critically associated with four biotic and abiotic variables (aboveground biomass, plant density, leaf N, and soil salinity). Our findings demonstrate the positive effects of controlling invasive plants on biodiversity and nutrient cycling, and provide a foundation for assessing the efficacy of ecological restoration projects in saltmarshes.

Blank predetermination in the Iberian Acheulean: fact or fiction? Insight from the cleaver on flake assemblage from Casal do Azemel site (Leiria, Portugal) by a Geometric Morphometric approach

The increase of data available for the study of the Middle Pleistocene in the Iberian Peninsula has favoured the understanding of the technological trends of the regional Acheulean techno-complex. This has features of Large Flake Acheulean -LFA- with a significant presence of cleavers on flake, a specific tool type that is of great cultural and technological value. Moreover, these tools are privileged to discuss the importance of predetermination in Acheulean assemblages. Following this reason, besides the traditional techno-typological approach, we perform 2D Geometric Morphometric Analysis (GMA) to explore this topic on the cleaver on flake assemblage from Casal do Azemel (Leiria, Portugal), a paradigmatic Iberian Acheulean site with a large number of cleavers on flake (more than 100 pieces), one of the largest collections of this type of tools in Western Europe. The results obtained note a strong degree of shape homogeneity and suggest that the different technological solutions underlying the definition of the distal cutting edge, or the intensity of secondary reshaping, do not produce major differences in the overall shape of the tool. Therefore, this homogeneity is a consequence of the existence of a specific pattern of support selection and/or is the outcome of the already predetermined nature of the chosen blank. These observations allowed to discuss the significance of blank predetermination in the Acheulean, highlighting the existence of highly structured technological and cognitive prerequisites.

Roman Amphorae Assemblages Database

The Roman Amphorae Assemblage Database compiles data for amphora-borne products from 79 published ceramic reports from sites on or near the German/Raetian frontiers of the Roman Empire (roughly 20 BC to AD 450). This dataset presents information on the assemblages and provides spatial links via Pleiades, the Digital Atlas of the Roman Empire, and Vici and connects to the Southampton Roman Amphorae Database. In total, some 268 different amphora forms are recorded in this dataset, with origins and contents noted. This dataset therefore provides one of the most complete overviews of spatial-chronological patterning in the importation and consumption of amphorae-borne products within the Roman Empire.

Quantifying the ecological impacts of alien aquatic macrophytes: A global meta‐analysis of effects on fish, macroinvertebrate and macrophyte assemblages

Biological invasions constitute a pervasive and growing threat to the biodiversity and functioning of freshwater ecosystems. Macrophytes are key primary producers and ecosystem engineers in freshwaters, meaning that alien macrophyte invasions have the capacity to alter the structure and function of recipient aquatic ecosystems profoundly. Although prevailing wisdom holds that alien macrophyte invasions tend to compromise freshwater ecosystem structure and function, the ecological impacts of alien macrophyte invasion have not been quantitatively reviewed to date. Here we present a global meta-analysis of 202 cases from 53 research articles, exploring the impacts of alien macrophyte invasion on the abundance and diversity of three ubiquitous and ecologically important focal groups, which together comprise the bulk of non-microbial freshwater biodiversity: resident macrophytes, macroinvertebrates and fish. Our synthesis includes data from all continents except Antarctica and Asia, covering 25 alien macrophyte species, but reveals considerable taxonomic and geographical biases in knowledge. Meta-analysis results reveal that invasion by alien macrophytes has an overall negative impact on taxonomic diversity of the three focal groups, but no consistent effect on abundance. At a finer resolution, we detect a strong negative effect of alien macrophyte invasion on resident macrophyte abundance and diversity, and a significant but smaller positive effect of submerged alien macrophyte invasion on macroinvertebrates. Effects on fish appear inconsistent. Our findings emphasise the importance of context- and taxon-specific ecological research in informing appropriate and proportionate management of alien macrophyte invasions, since alien macrophyte impacts are not consistently negative. We also identify significant geographical and taxonomic limitations in existing studies, quantitative data being lacking for many alien taxa.
