Low Pollinator Sharing Between Coexisting Native and Non-native Plant Pairs: The Effect of Corolla Length and Flower Abundance

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Understanding the mechanisms by which non-native plants can attract pollinators in their new geographical zones is important because such species infiltrate native communities and can disrupt native ecological interactions.

Non-native invasive species and novel ecosystems [PDF]

F1000Prime Reports, 2015
Invasions by non-native species have caused many extinctions and greatly modified many ecosystems and are among the major anthropogenic global changes transforming the earth. Beginning in the mid-1980s, a dramatic burst of research in invasion biology has revealed a plethora of previously unrecognized impacts and laid bare the scope of the phenomenon ...

The Impacts of Sprawl on Biodiversity: the Ant Fauna of the Lower Florida Keys

Ecology and Society, 2005
Sprawling development can affect species composition by increasing the rate of invasion by non-native species, and decreasing the persistence of native species.

Non-Native Non-Apis Bees Are More Abundant on Non-Native Versus Native Flowering Woody Landscape Plants

Insects, 2022
Urban ecosystems can support diverse communities of wild native bees. Because bloom times are conserved by geographic origin, incorporating some non-invasive non-native plants in urban landscapes can extend the flowering season and help support bees and ...

Design and Validation of a Single‐Species Environmental DNA qPCR Assay for the Detection of the Invasive Chinese Mitten Crab Eriocheir sinensis

Environmental DNA
Biological invasions are a leading driver of biodiversity loss and generate significant economic costs, either through direct impact on native ecosystems or through repairs and remediation.

Long-term evaluation of the impact of urbanization on native and non-native fish assemblages [PDF]

Aquatic Invasions
Urbanization often leads to the homogenization of species composition in aquatic ecosystems, as it introduces disturbances that can destroy the habitats of unique endemic or native species while creating alternative habitats for species capable of ...
