An Anthropogenic Habitat Facilitates the Establishment of Non-Native Birds by Providing Underexploited Resources. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Anthropogenic modification of habitats may reduce the resources available for native species, leading to population declines and extinction. These same habitats often have the highest richness of non-native species.

Different range shifts and determinations of elevational redistributions of native and non-native plant species in Jinfo Mountain of subtropical China

Ecological Indicators, 2022
Species are changing their elevational distributions in response to climate change, leading to biodiversity loss and changes in community structure. Yet whether native and non-native species have consistent elevational shifts remains to be evaluated ...

Are Amphipod invaders a threat to the regional biodiversity? Conservation prospects for the Loire River [PDF]

, 2010
The impact of invasions on local biodiversity is well established, but their impact on regional biodiversity has so far been only sketchily documented.

Niche width analyses facilitate identification of high-risk endemic species at high altitudes in western Himalayas

Ecological Indicators, 2021
High-elevation mountain communities are progressively threatened by habitat fragmentation and climate change resulting in habitat shift and biodiversity loss.

Non-native species have multiple abundance-impact curves (model results)

, 2020
Data files containing the results of simple simulation models of the effects of ecosystem characteristics on the impacts and abundance-impact curves of non-native (invasive) species. These models were used in the paper: Strayer, D.L. 2020.

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.

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.

Status of known non-native species introductions and impacts (updated)

, 2015
Antarctic biodiversity and ecosystems are under threat from introduced non-native species. Currently the Antarctic Peninsula and off shore islands are the most invaded areas.

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.
