An international research team has made strides in addressing a significant controversy in ecology that has persisted for over 160 years, linked to Charles Darwin's naturalization theory.
The team includes notable contributors such as Wen-Gang Zhang, a visiting doctoral student at the University of Tartu, and Professor of Botany Meelis Pärtel.
Their findings, published on June 17, 2026, may reshape our understanding of biodiversity and its implications for ecological studies.
