Ecological Impacts of Exotic Species on Native Seed Dispersal Systems: A Systematic Review [PDF]

Plants, 2023
Exotic species are one of the main threats to biodiversity, leading to alterations in the structure and functioning of natural ecosystems. However, they can sometimes also provide ecological services, such as seed dispersal.

Exotic species richness and native species endemism increase the impact of exotic species on islands [PDF]

Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2011
ABSTRACTAim  Exotic species pose one of the most significant threats to biodiversity, especially on islands. The impacts of exotic species vary in severity among islands, yet little is known about what makes some islands more susceptible than others. Here we determine which characteristics of an island influence how severely exotic species affect its ...

Factors influencing exotic species richness in Argentina’s national parks [PDF]

PeerJ, 2018
Exotic species introductions are a global phenomenon and protected areas are susceptible to them. Understanding the drivers of exotic species richness is vital for prioritizing natural resource management, particularly in developing countries with ...

Exotic species, Experienced, and Idealized Nature

Environmental Management, 2011
This paper is an answer to the Caplat and Coutts forum about our previous paper "The need for flexibility in conservation practices: exotic species as an example". We precise here why we proposed to consider exotic species as well as indigenous species in the reconnection framework in human-modified environments.

Positive effects of exotic species dampened by neighborhood heterogeneity. [PDF]

Ecology, 2022
It is well known that species interactions between exotic and native species are important for determining the success of biological invasions and how influential exotic species become in invaded communities. The strength and type of interactions between

Exotic species invasions undermine regional functional diversity of freshwater fish. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2019
Exotic species invasions often result in native biodiversity loss, i.e. a lower taxonomic diversity, but current knowledge on invasions effects underlined a potential increase of functional diversity.

Successful eradication of an invasive alien Pallas’s squirrel (Callosciurus erythraeus Pallas 1779) population in the Netherlands with support of the local community

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
The Pallas’s squirrel (Callosciurus erythraeus) is an invasive alien species in several countries in Europe, but also in Argentina and Japan. The species is a threat to indigenous squirrel species and difficult to eradicate.

Rapid functional response tests for assessing impacts of alien snails on food crops

Ecological Indicators, 2021
Several invasive alien snails are considered a threat to agriculture and horticulture. The development of rapid methods for reliable prediction of their impacts on crops is a major challenge in agricultural science and invasion biology.

Climate-driven impacts of exotic species on marine ecosystems [PDF]

, 2020
[Aim] Temperature is fundamental to the physiological and ecological performance of marine organisms, but its role in modulating the magnitude of ecological impacts by exotic species remains unresolved.
