Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2023 Litterfall may facilitate the outperformance of exotic species by inducing better resource acquisition and reproductive performance. However, the drivers that determine litterfall patterns in exotic and native species have remained insufficiently ...

Alien plant species on roadsides of the northwestern Patagonian steppe (Argentina).
PLoS ONE, 2021 The introduction of alien species represents one of the greatest threats to biodiversity worldwide. Highway construction increases the dispersal and invasion of exotic plant species.

Increasing global aridity destabilizes shrub facilitation of exotic but not native plant species
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2022 Earth’s dryland (hyper-arid, arid, semi-arid, and dry sub-humid) ecosystems face increasing aridity and invasion by exotic plant species. In concert, these global changes threaten the biodiversity, ecosystem functioning, and economic viability of ...

Hemithea aestivaria (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Geometridae), a Palaearctic moth, new to eastern North America [PDF]
Biodiversity Data Journal, 2021 The geometrid moth Hemithea aestivaria (Hübner, 1789) was introduced from Europe to North America, first being detected in British Columbia in 1973. Until 2019, its North American range was limited to a restricted area of the Pacific Northwest.

Global ecological impacts of marine exotic species [PDF]
, 2019 Exotic species are a growing global ecological threat; however, their overall effects are insufficiently understood. While some exotic species are implicated in many species extinctions, others can provide benefits to the recipient communities.

Reciprocal effects of litter from exotic and congeneric native plant species via soil nutrients. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Invasive exotic plant species are often expected to benefit exclusively from legacy effects of their litter inputs on soil processes and nutrient availability.

Matching field-based ranges in brackish water gradients with experimentally derived salinity tolerances of Conrad’s false mussel (Mytilopsis leucophaeata cochleata) and zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) [PDF]
Aquatic InvasionsThe invasive alien false mussels Mytilopsis leucophaeata cochleata and Dreissena polymorpha (Dreissenidae) have established populations in the North Sea canal in the Netherlands that connects the harbours of Amsterdam with the North Sea.

The dark side of facilitation: native shrubs facilitate exotic annuals more strongly than native annuals [PDF]
NeoBiota, 2019 Positive interactions enhance biodiversity and ecosystem function, but can also exacerbate biological invasions. Facilitation of exotic invaders by exotic foundation species (invasional meltdown) has been studied extensively, but facilitation of exotic ...
