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 ...

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.

Characteristics of exotic ants in North America [PDF]
, 2011 The worldwide transport of species beyond their native range is an increasing problem, e.g. for global biodiversity. Many introduced species are able to establish in new environments and some even become invasive.

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 ...

Environmental effects related to the local absence of exotic fish [PDF]
, 2009 Given the extent of biological invasions in industrialized countries, our understanding of the determinants of overall patterns of biological invasions could gain most from consideration of why exotic species are absent from some areas, rather than from ...

Geographical, socioeconomic, and ecological determinants of exotic plant naturalization in the United States : insights and updates from improved data [PDF]
, 2012 Previous studies on alien species establishment in the United States and around the world have drastically improved our understanding of the patterns of species naturalization, biological invasions, and underlying mechanisms. Meanwhile, relevant new data

Trophic position and niche overlap of an Asian weatherfish (Misgurnus bipartitus), western tubenose goby (Proterorhinus semilunaris) and native benthic fish species [PDF]
Aquatic InvasionsCo-occurring and morphologically similar species have adapted to differential niches to minimize competition. An invasive alien species can occupy an ‘empty niche’ in introduced ranges.
