Alien and native birds in South Africa: patterns, processes and conservationBiological Invasions - Tập 11 - Trang 2291-2302 - 2009
Sanet Hugo, Berndt J. Van Rensburg
The spatial distribution of alien species richness often correlates positively with native species richness, and reflects the role of human density and activity, and primary productivity and habitat heterogeneity, in facilitating the establishment and spread of alien species. Here, we investigate the relationship between the spatial distribution of alien bird species, human density, and anthropoge...... hiện toàn bộ
Media myopia distorts public interest in US invasive plantsBiological Invasions - - 2023
Elena Woodworth, Amy Wei Tian, Kaleigh Blair, Jamie Pullen, Jonathan S. Lefcheck, John D. Parker
AbstractIntroduced invasive plants are a major environmental problem, but public interest in invasive plants is generally considered low compared to climate change and threatened flagship species, hindering support for effective management and policy. To understand what does drive public interest in invasive plants in the US, we investigated Google Trends search da...... hiện toàn bộ
Invasive Africanized honeybees change the structure of native pollination networks in BrazilBiological Invasions - Tập 14 - Trang 2369-2378 - 2012

The Africanized honeybee Apis mellifera (AHB) is an invasive species spread over all Brazilian biomes, which has negative impacts on native bee populations, but whose impacts on native plants are still controversial. In order to understand how its impacts extend to the pollination service at the community level, we studied the AHB and its interactions in a multi-species context using network theor...... hiện toàn bộ
Regional-scale environmental resistance to non-native ant invasionBiological Invasions - Tập 22 - Trang 813-825 - 2019
R. J. Warren, M. Candeias, A. Lafferty, L. D. Chick
A successful invasion of novel habitat requires that non-native organisms overcome native abiotic and biotic resistance. Non-native species can overcome abiotic resistance if they arrive with traits well-suited for the invaded habitat or if they can rapidly acclimate or adapt. Non-native species may co-exist with native species if they require novel, underused resources or if they can out-compete ...... hiện toàn bộ
Dependence on a human structure influences the extinction of a non-native lizard population after a major environmental changeBiological Invasions - Tập 23 - Trang 825-842 - 2020
Daniel A. Warner, Joshua M. Hall, Amélie Fargevieille, Austin C. Hulbert, Sarin Tiatragul, Jenna E. Pruett, Timothy S. Mitchell
Human activity causes major changes in natural landscapes via introduction of non-native species, development on natural habitat, and alteration of local weather patterns. These factors contribute to global change and may interact to affect local populations of plants and animals. We studied a viable, non-native lizard population (Anolis sagrei) in southeast Alabama, USA that has depended upon the...... hiện toàn bộ
Vulnerability of non-native invasive plants to novel pathogen attack: do plant traits matter?Biological Invasions - Tập 24 - Trang 3349-3379 - 2022
Catherine Fahey, Akihiro Koyama, Pedro M. Antunes
Exotic invasive plants are considered major threats to biodiversity globally; however, our understanding of the long-term dynamics of invasion remains limited. Over time, invasive plants can accumulate novel pathogens that may be capable of causing population declines because invaders have a greater chance of encountering such pathogens as they spread, and native pathogens can adapt to use invasiv...... hiện toàn bộ
