Mechanistic reconciliation of community and invasion ecology [PDF]
Ecosphere, 2021 AbstractCommunity and invasion ecology have mostly grown independently. There is substantial overlap in the processes captured by different models in the two fields, and various frameworks have been developed to reduce this redundancy and synthesize information content. Despite broad recognition that community and invasion ecology are interconnected, a

Diversity, 2020 Invasive Alien Species (IAS) are a serious threat to biodiversity, severely affecting natural habitats and species assemblages. However, no consistent empirical evidence emerged on which functional traits or trait combination may foster community ...

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Nitrogen deposition and biological invasion are two major components of global environmental change. Nitrogen deposition has been considered to enhance the resource availability of recipient habitats, which influences the invasiveness of plant invader ...

Community disassembly by an invasive species [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2003 Invasive species pose serious threats to community structure and ecosystem function worldwide. The impacts of invasive species can be more pervasive than simple reduction of species numbers. By using 7 years of data in a biological preserve in northern California, we documented the disassembly of native ant communities during an invasion by the ...

Resistance is futile: lack of predator switching and a preference for native prey predict the success of an invasive prey species [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 Invasive species continue to severely impact biodiversity, yet predicting the success or failure of introduced species has remained elusive. In particular, the relationship between community invasibility and native species diversity remains obscure. Here,

Plant invasions: merging the concepts of species invasiveness and community invasibility [PDF]
Progress in Physical Geography: Earth and Environment, 2006 This paper considers key issues in plant invasion ecology, where findings published since 1990 have significantly improved our understanding of many aspects of invasions. The review focuses on vascular plants invading natural and semi-natural ecosystems, and on fundamental ecological issues relating to species invasiveness and community invasibility ...

Rethinking Biological Invasions as a Metacommunity Problem
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Perhaps more than any other ecological discipline, invasion biology has married the practices of basic science and the application of that science. The conceptual frameworks of population regulation, metapopulations, supply-side ecology, and community ...

Ecological theory as a foundation to control pathogenic invasion in aquaculture [PDF]
, 2014 Detrimental host-pathogen interactions are a normal phenomenon in aquaculture animal production, and have been counteracted by prophylactic use of antibiotics. Especially, the youngest life stages of cultivated aquatic animals are susceptible to pathogen

Phase transitions in mutualistic communities under invasion [PDF]
Physical Biology, 2018 Predicting the outcome of species invasion in ecosystems is a challenge of both theoretical and practical significance. Progress so far has been limited by the intractability of the far-from-equilibrium nature of the transitions that occur during invasion events. Here, we address this limitation by solving for the transition dynamics of a cross-feeding

Community ecology of invasions: direct and indirect effects of multiple invasive species on aquatic communities [PDF]
Ecology, 2012 With many ecosystems now supporting multiple nonnative species from different trophic levels, it can be challenging to disentangle the net effects of invaders within a community context. Here, we combined wetland surveys with a mesocosm experiment to examine the individual and combined effects of nonnative fish predators and nonnative bullfrogs on ...
