Species-Specific Outcome in the Competition for Nitrogen Between Invasive and Native Tree Seedlings
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 The outcome of competition for nitrogen (N) between native and invasive tree species is a major concern when considering increasing anthropogenic N deposition.

Eliciting a predatory response in the eastern corn snake (Pantherophis guttatus) using live and inanimate sensory stimuli: implications for managing invasive populations [PDF]
, 2014 North America's Eastern corn snake (Pantherophis guttatus) has been introduced to several islands throughout the Caribbean and Australasia where it poses a significant threat to native wildlife. Invasive snake control programs often involve trapping with

Tree invasions: patterns, processes, challenges and opportunities [PDF]
Biological Invasions, 2013 Tree invasions have escalated in importance in the last few decades (more species, greater area invaded, more types of impacts, increasing complexity of management challenges), and are increasingly studied from many perspectives. This research spans many disciplines, including ecology, population biology, genetics, remote sensing, ecological modelling,

Friends or Foes? The Problem of South Florida’s Invasive Mangroves [PDF]
, 2017 A recent global review on the impacts of climate change on mangroves concluded that different regions will experience varying degrees of impacts due to the variability of expected changes in climate (shifts in precipitation, frequency and intensity of ...

Outstanding performance of an invasive alien tree Bischofia javanica relative to native tree species and implications for management of insular primary forests [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Invasive alien tree species can exert severe impacts, especially in insular biodiversity hotspots, but have been inadequately studied. Knowledge of the life history and population trends of an invasive alien tree species is essential for appropriate ...

Emerging Urban Forests: Opportunities for Promoting the Wild Side of the Urban Green Infrastructure [PDF]
, 2019 Many cities aim to increase urban forest cover to benefit residents through the provision of ecosystem services and to promote biodiversity. As a complement to traditional forest plantings, we address opportunities associated with “emerging urban forests”

The role of hybridization in facilitating tree invasion [PDF]
AoB Plants, 2016 Hybridization events can generate additional genetic diversity upon which natural selection can act and at times enhance invasiveness of the species. Invasive tree species are a growing ecological concern worldwide, and some of these invasions involve hybridization events pre- or post-introduction.

Insect invasions track a tree invasion: Global distribution of black locust herbivores
Journal of Biogeography, 2023 AbstractAimMany invasive plant species benefit from enemy release resulting from the absence of insect herbivores in their invaded range. However, over time, specialized herbivores may ‘catch up’ with such invasive plants. Black locust is a tree species with a relatively limited native range in North America but has invaded large areas in virtually ...

Invasive Prunus serotina vs. Robinia pseudoacacia: How does temperate forest natural regeneration respond to their quantity? [PDF]
NeoBiotaInvasive trees negatively impact forests, by making the vegetation more homogeneous when invaders are present than when they are absent. Here, we aim to more deeply understand the effects of invasive trees on forests with a focus on seedlings and ...
