Differences in sensitivity of native and exotic fish species to changes in river temperature

Current Zoology, 2011
This paper describes the effects that temperature changes in the Rhine river distributaries have on native and exotic fish diversity. Site-specific potentially affected fractions (PAFs) of the regional fish species pool were derived using species ...

Greater future range expansions in alien than native ant species

Oikos, EarlyView.
There is growing concern that many species may not be able to track suitable conditions under climate change and suffer range contractions as a result. At the same time, alien species introduced to novel geographic ranges are often assumed to benefit from climate change.

Trait convergence under warming: drought tolerance, not thermal limits, mediates native–invader dynamics in alpine ecosystems

Oikos, EarlyView.
Climate warming and plant invasions jointly alter alpine ecosystems, but the mechanisms underlying these interactions remain unclear. A key to predicting ecosystem vulnerability is whether native and invasive species can sustain performance as conditions warm.

Trade, the Damage from Alien Species, and the Effects of Protectionism Under Alternate Market Structures [PDF]

We first construct three measures of the expected damage from the unintentional introduction of alien species into a country called Home. We then focus on four market structures.

Asymmetric transferability of trait–environment relationships between native and exotic plant species in Singaporean forests differing in land‐use history

Oikos, EarlyView.
Functional traits allow ecologists to synthesise general rules of community assembly. In joint species distribution modelling, traits are increasingly used to explain species–environment relationships, with the intention of being able to generalise predictions to other species in other systems.

A plant–pollinator invasional meltdown: the Japanese pagoda tree Styphnolobium japonicum facilitates the invasion of the giant resin bee Megachile sculpturalis

Oikos, EarlyView.
An invasional meltdown can occur when a non‐native species facilitates the spread of another non‐native species in the invaded area, increasing its likelihood of survival or its ecological impact. Plant–pollinator systems pose an exceptional study system to test this concept, which remains poorly known.

The magnitude and economic replacement value of wild meat obtained from ‘recreational’ big game hunting in the United States

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Meat production has notable benefits for food security, nutrition and various production economies, but has elicited substantial negative environmental impacts. Recreational hunting provides an alternative to agricultural meat production for over 24 million hunters worldwide.

Designing for biodiversity data in place: Species, encounters, and interfaces

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Species occurrence data, which records the presence of an organism at a point in space and time, is central to environmental science and its opening up to new forms of participation such as citizen science. Such data are increasingly aggregated and mobilised, reaching diverse audiences.
