Leaf decomposition and invertebrate colonization responses to manipulated litter quantity in streams (2008, background): “However, although not always practical, use of replicated designs often is possible, even in manipulative ecosystem experiments (e.g., Maron et al. 2006, Entrekin et al. 2008).”
Human Involvement in Food Webs (2010, background): “Introduced Arctic foxes, predator free on islands, so severely reduce nesting seabirds and the nutrients from dung as to lower plant productivity and transform vegetation from grasslands to shrublands (123).”
The Ecological Role of the Mammalian Mesocarnivore (2009, background): “Arctic foxes (Alopex lagopus) introduced to the Aleutian Islands caused a dramatic shift in plant community structure and productivity, compared with islands not subject to fox predation (Croll et al. 2005, Maron et al. 2006).”
Patterns, Causes, and Consequences of Anthropocene Defaunation (2016, background): “For example, human introduction of foxes to Arctic islands caused near total eradication of many seabird species, dramatically transforming those ecosystems (Maron et al. 2006).”
Guiding ecological principles for marine spatial planning (2010, background): “The delivery of allochthonous subsidies can increase primary and secondary productivity [109,128], alter predator–prey relationships [129], and change nutrient cycling dynamics [130] in the receiving habitat.”
Review of impacts of the introduced house mouse on islands in the Southern Ocean: are mice equivalent to rats? (2009, background): “The transport of nutrients from marine to terrestrial systems is a critical determinant of terrestrial productivity on Subantarctic and other seabirddominated islands (Smith 1978; Smith 1979; Smith and Steenkamp 1993; Erskine et al. 1998; Croll et al. 2005; Fukami et al. 2006; Maron et al. 2006; Mul”
