Imperfect Replacement of Native Species by Non‐Native Species as Pollinators of Endemic Hawaiian Plants [PDF]

Conservation Biology, 2013
Abstract Native plant species that have lost their mutualist partners may require non‐native pollinators or seed dispersers to maintain reproduction. When natives are highly specialized, however, it appears doubtful that introduced generalists will partner effectively with them.

Biodiversity: The Non-natives Species Versus the Natives Species and Ecosystem Functioning

Journal of Biodiversity, Bioprospecting and Development, 2017
The loss of biodiversity is one of the most reflective effects of humans on the global perspective and it is more and more urgent to understand how this loss will affect and what will be the profound consequences to the ecosystem functioning. Non-native fishes can cause considerable adverse impacts on the function of aquatic ecosystems and ...

Periphyton density is similar on native and non‐native plant species [PDF]

Freshwater Biology, 2017
Abstract Non‐native plants increasingly dominate the vegetation in aquatic ecosystems and thrive in eutrophic conditions. In eutrophic conditions, submerged plants risk being overgrown by epiphytic algae; however, if non‐native plants are less susceptible to periphyton than natives, this would contribute to their dominance.

Nativeness is not binary—a graduated terminology for native and non‐native species in the Anthropocene

Restoration Ecology, 2022
With novel ecosystems becoming the norm, it is increasingly necessary to re‐evaluate what is meant by “restoration.” An important aspect concerns which species are defined as native and, by extension, non‐native. In order to better inform restoration actions, we have here devised a classification system of 10 graduated terms describing intermediate ...
