Assessing the effects of native and alien plant ash on mosquito abundance
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9371
Abstract: Abstract Plant invasions have been linked to displacement of native vegetation and altering of fire regimes and might influence vector mosquito populations by altering habitats or nutrient inputs. Whereas wildfire effects on terrestrial ecosystems are… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10530-018-1770-8
Abstract: Successful long-term invasive alien plant control programmes rely on alien plant distribution and abundance data to assess, prioritise, implement and monitor the efficacy of the programme. Here we assess the impact of data accuracy using… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10531-018-1503-4
Abstract: Land-use changes often facilitate alien species invasion, impacting on biodiversity and ecosystem processes at the regional scale. Transport infrastructure is a potential corridor for biological invasion, but processes underlying invasion of alien species from human… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.aquabot.2019.103172
Abstract: Abstract Alien plant invasion is a serious threat for biodiversity conservation. Most theories on the mechanisms regulating the expansion of an alien species, agree that herbivory is one of the main factors affecting the success… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.marpolbul.2017.10.015
Abstract: Understanding which factors influence the invasion of alien seaweed has become a central concern in ecology. Increasing evidence suggests that the feeding preferences of native herbivores influence the success of alien seaweeds in the new… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-020-16719-2
Abstract: Protected areas are the cornerstone of biodiversity conservation. However, alien species invasion is an increasing threat to biodiversity, and the extent to which protected areas worldwide are resistant to incursions of alien species remains poorly… read more here.

Phylogenetic and functional distinctiveness explain alien plant population responses to competition
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences"
DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2020.1070
Abstract: Several invasion hypotheses predict a positive association between phylogenetic and functional distinctiveness of aliens and their performance, leading to the idea that distinct aliens compete less with their resident communities. However, synthetic pattern relationships between… read more here.
