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,

Animal ecosystem engineers modulate the diversity-invasibility relationship. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2008
BackgroundInvasions of natural communities by non-indigenous species are currently rated as one of the most important global-scale threats to biodiversity. Biodiversity itself is known to reduce invasions and increase stability. Disturbances by ecosystem

Soil microbial legacies and drought mediate diversity-invasibility relationships in non-native communities.

New Phytologist
High native species diversity generally suppresses non-native invasions, but many ecosystems are now characterized by non-native assemblages that vary in species diversity.

Invasive candidiasis [PDF]

Nature Reviews Disease Primers, 2018
Invasive candidiasis is an important health-care-associated fungal infection that can be caused by several Candida spp.; the most common species is Candida albicans, but the prevalence of these organisms varies considerably depending on geographical location.

Contemporary Remotely Sensed Data Products Refine Invasive Plants Risk Mapping in Data Poor Regions

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017
Invasive weeds are a serious problem worldwide, threatening biodiversity and damaging economies. Modeling potential distributions of invasive weeds can prioritize locations for monitoring and control efforts, increasing management efficiency.

Cross‐scale interactions mediate local drivers of nonnative species richness

Ecography, EarlyView.
Many well‐supported hypotheses seek to explain drivers of nonnative species richness across spatial scales, but evidence for common patterns among regions and taxa remains inconclusive. This study investigates why consistent patterns are elusive by estimating and assessing cross‐scale interactions, wherein large‐scale factors contextualize patterns ...

Wetland plant growth in recycled glass sand versus dredged river sand: evaluating a new resource for coastal restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Sand made from recycled glass cullet could supplement limited dredged river sand (dredge) in coastal wetland restorations; however, its suitability for wetland plants is unknown. In two experiments, we compared the biomass of several wetland plants in recycled glass sand to growth in dredge.

Soil, competition, and niche shifts shape the floral mosaic of an annual plant diversity hotspot

American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Premise Plant species with affinity for harsh substrates often have well‐defined edaphic (soil) niches and are ideal for exploring questions of community assembly. Vertic clay soils are chemically and physically challenging to plant establishment and productivity, and annual plant communities associated with these soils of the San Joaquin ...

Trait‐based approaches to restoration ecology: Synthesizing insights from diverse systems

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 2, March 2026.
Abstract Under accelerating global change, trait‐based approaches are emerging as essential tools in the ecological restoration toolbox. Where restoration has traditionally focused on the recovery of focal species in isolated systems, trait‐based methods can provide a common language that extends beyond species‐ or system‐specific contexts, allowing ...

Modeling species co‐occurrence effects to inform invasive barred owl management and recovery of the northern spotted owl

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 2, March 2026.
Abstract Robust estimation of wildlife populations represents a cornerstone of wildlife research and provides critical information to guide management, including identifying at‐risk species, setting harvest rates, and evaluating predator and invasive species control programs.
