Changes in forest structure and species composition following invasion by a non-indigenous shrub, Amur honeysuckle (Lonicera maackii) (2008, background): “Researchers have found that most species of annual and perennial herbs (Gould and Gorchov 2000, Miller and Gorchov 2004), vines (Collier et al. 2002), and tree seedlings (Hutchinson and Vankat 1997, Gorchov and Trisel 2003, Hartman and McCarthy 2004) are frequently less successful in sites occupied…”

The relative importance of landscape and community features in the invasion of an exotic shrub in a fragmented landscape (2006, background): “Collier et al. (2002) determined that species richness of native herb and tree seedlings was lower under the crowns of L.”
Impacts of the invasive exotic Prosopis juliflora (Sw.) D.C. on the native flora and soils of the UAE (2007, background): “In addition, several recent investigations have shown that invasive plants have changed several community attributes including species diversity, richness, species composition and abundance (Prieur-Richard et al. 2002; Collier et al. 2002; Badano and Pugnaire 2004; Hoffmann et al. 2004).”
Avian Seed Dispersal of an Invasive Shrub (2006, background): “Collier et al. (2002) determined that species richness of native herb and tree seedlings was lower under the crowns of L. maackii.”
Conserving Pollinators in North American Forests: A Review (2016, background): “Dense shrub layers negatively impact herbaceous plant cover and diversity (e.g., Woods 1993; Baker and Van Lear 1998; Collier et al. 2002; Gerber et al. 2008; Hudson et al. 2014) and, in turn, pollinators (McKinney and Goodell 2010; Hanula et al. 2011a, 2011b; Fielder et al. 2012; Hudson et al.…”
A dendro-ecological study of forest overstorey productivity following the invasion of the non-indigenous shrub Lonicera maackii (2007, background): “maackii could have strong ecological effects on communities as it has already shown ability to negatively alter the abundance of the native seed and bud bank (Collier et al. 2002), seedling growth and survival (Gorchov & Trisel 2003; Hartman & McCarthy 2004), saplings (KMH pers.”
Have changing forests conditions contributed to pollinator decline in the southeastern United States (2015, background): “Dense shrub layers have been shown to negatively impact herbaceous plant cover and diversity (e.g., Woods, 1993; Baker and Van Lear, 1998; Collier and Vankat, 2002; Gerber et al., 2008; Hudson et al., 2014) and pollinators (McKinney and Goodell, 2010; Hanula and Horn, 2011a,b; Fielder et al.”
Behavioral consequences of plant invasion: an invasive plant alters rodent antipredator behavior (2010, background): “Lonicera maackii, a bush honeysuckle native to China, invades forests that previously lacked an understory shrub layer (Collier et al. 2002); invasion by L. maackii is associated with decreased growth and diversity of forest plant species due to direct competition (Hutchinson and Vankat 1997; Gould…”
Impact of the invasive shrub glossy buckthorn (Rhamnus frangula L.) on juvenile recruitment by canopy trees (2004, background): “…(Hunter and Mattice, 2002) has had negative effects on forest tree seedlings, reducing survival and growth (Gorchov and Trisel, 2003) as well as local density and species richness (Woods, 1993; Silander and Klepeis, 1999; Hutchinson and Vankat, 1997; Frappier et al., 2002; Collier et al., 2002).”
Restoration of a Forest Understory After the Removal of an Invasive Shrub, Amur Honeysuckle (Lonicera maackii) (2004, background): “…maackii invades open sites, these areas are often converted into shrub communities (Luken & Thieret 1995), and in invaded forests, recruitment and diversity of woody and herbaceous species is often reduced (Hutchinson & Vankat 1997; Gould & Gorchov 2000; Collier et al. 2002; Gorchov & Trisel 2003).”
Leaf and root extracts of the invasive shrub, Lonicera maackii, inhibit seed germination of three herbs with no autotoxic effects (2006, background): “When L. maackii is removed from sites where it has persisted for several years, it is common for few species to grow back in the short term other than highly mobile species common to disturbed sites (Luken 1997; Luken et al. 1997a; Collier et al. 2002; M. Dorning, personal observation).”
Shading by invasive shrub reduces seed production and pollinator services in a native herb (2010, background): “Lonicera maackii cover is negatively correlated with herb cover (Hutchinson and Vankat 1997; Collier et al. 2002), fecundity, survival, growth, and final size (Gould and Gorchov 2000; Miller and Gorchov 2004).”
Competitive effects of the invasive shrub, Lonicera maackii (Rupr.) Herder (Caprifoliaceae), on the growth and survival of native tree seedlings (2003, background): “However, Collier et al. (2002) found that within stands the density and cover of seedlings of all tree species were reduced under L. maackii shrubs vs. away ( 2 m) from L. maackii shrubs.”
