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 data from 2010 to 2020
for 209 intr... hiện toàn bộ
Invasive Africanized honeybees change the structure of native pollination networks in BrazilBiological Invasions - Tập 14 - Trang 2369-2378 - 2012
Gilberto M. de M. Santos, Cândida M. L. Aguiar, Julieta Genini, Celso F. Martins, Fernando C. V. Zanella, Marco A. R. Mello
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
