DOI: 10.1007/s13157-021-01446-1
Abstract: Wetlands provide essential habitat for shorebirds, songbirds, and waterfowl. Invasive species can disrupt trophic interactions within wetlands by altering the arthropod assemblages on which birds rely. An invasive grass species, Phragmites australis (common reed), has… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.gecco.2019.e00754
Abstract: Abstract Protected areas are critical for the long-term conservation of biodiversity globally. Across agricultural landscapes, protected areas serve as refuges for threatened and declining species and provide valuable ecosystem services that support broader landscape function.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ecog.04014
Abstract: Invasive plant impacts vary widely across introduced ranges. We tested the hypothesis that differences in the eco-evolutionary experience of native communities with the invader correspond with the impacts of invasive species on native vegetation, with… read more here.
