Grouping increases the ability of the social rodent, Octodon degus, to detect predators when using exposed microhabitats (2002, background): “Among sciurid rodents (squirrels, marmots) individuals of large-sized groups detect predators sooner than rodents of smaller groups (Hoogland 1981), and they respond more quickly to human predators when foraging in groups than when foraging solitarily ( Heaney and Thorington 1978 ).”
Exotic Herbivores as Drivers of Plant Invasion and Switch to Ecosystem Alternative States (2002, background): “Holmgren et al. (2000b) studied some of the mechanisms responsible for the dominance of exotic herbaceous plants in disturbed open patches in more detail.”
Faster returns on ‘leaf economics’ and different biogeochemical niche in invasive compared with native plant species (2009, unknown): “On the other hand, several studies could not establish any clear relation between nutrient availability and alien plant expansion (Witkowski, 1994; Dassonville et al., 2008) or, in some instances, have reported the opposite trends (Holmgren et al., 2000; Brewer & Cralle, 2003).”
A conservation paradox for the 21st century: The European wild rabbit Oryctolagus cuniculus, an invasive alien and an endangered native species (2008, background): “co-evolved (Holmgren et al., 2000).”
Rabbits: manageable environmental pests or participants in new Australian ecosystems? (2012, background): “Promotion of introduced plant species In Chilean ecosystems under intensive grazing pressure from rabbits, native herbs are out-competed by introduced Mediterranean herbs which co-evolved with the rabbits (Holmgren et al. 2000).”
