Native plants improve breeding and foraging habitat for an insectivorous bird (2017, background): “Generalist synanthropes are thought to “thrive” in residential habitats (Donnelly and Marzluff, 2004), possibly because of increases in resources such as bird feeders and fruit availability (Gleditsch and Carlo, 2011).”
Seed dispersal in changing landscapes. (2012, background): “Alien plants in a disperser-limited habitat could also disrupt native mutualisms by ‘‘stealing’’ dispersers from native plants, but they could also enhance the consumption of native fruits situated in the immediate neighborhood (Gleditsch and Carlo, 2011; Neilan et al., 2006), or they could have a n”
