Effects of agriculture expansion and intensification on the vertebrate and invertebrate diversity in the Pampas of Argentina (2011, result): “A study carried out elsewhere in Argentina explained similar results through a strong preference of A. mellifera for alien plant species ( Morales and Aizen 2002 ).”
Reproductive biology of Australian acacias: important mediator of invasiveness? (2011, background): “If pollination by A. mellifera enhances seed production of Australian acacias, then honeybees could facilitate Acacia invasions (and the facilitation could be reciprocal where both species are introduced, as in South America) (Barthell et al., 2001; Morales & Aizen, 2002).”
Structure and dynamics of pollination networks: the role of alien plants (2009, background): “Studies of anthropogenic impacts on pollination webs (Memmott and Waser 2002, Morales and Aizen 2002, 2006) and analyses of network robustness to species removal (Memmott et al. 2004) are based on a purely network topology perspective that ignores the dynamics of constituent species and disregards…”
Successful invaders co-opt pollinators of native flora and accumulate insect pollinators with increasing residence time. (2011, unknown): “The importance of mutualistic relationships for plant invasions has been recognized only recently (Richardson et al. 2000a, Morales and Aizen 2002, 2006, Traveset and Richardson 2006, Padrón et al. 2009), and it is becoming widely accepted that introduced alien species influence many ecosystem…”
Rapid ecological replacement of a native bumble bee by invasive species. (2013, background): “Furthermore, because invasive bumble bees in this region may benefit from habitat disturbance (Morales and Aizen 2002; Aizen et al. 2003), we expect that if habitat disturbance plays a role in B dahlbomii decline, this is mediated by increasing abundance of invasive bumble bees.”
Invasive mutualisms and the structure of plant–pollinator interactions in the temperate forests of north‐west Patagonia, Argentina (2006, background): “In a previous work, we found that the proportion of visits by B. ruderatus was significantly higher in disturbed habitats, regardless of species origin (Morales & Aizen 2002).”
Interspecific Pollen Transfer: Magnitude, Prevalence and Consequences for Plant Fitness (2008, background): “As most invasive plants are generalists, they can easily integrate into plant-pollinator webs through interactions with local pollinators (Memmot and Waser, 2002; Aizen et al., 2008), sharing pollinators with many native species (Morales and Aizen, 2002, 2006).”
The tolerance of island plant–pollinator networks to alien plants (2011, background): “Such ‘invader complexes’ have been described elsewhere (Memmott & Waser 2002; Morales & Aizen 2002; Olesen, Eskildsen & Venkatasamy 2002; Morales & Aizen 2006; but see Aizen,Morales &Morales 2008), and our data suggest that interactions between aliens become increasingly pronounced at later stages…”
Changes in interaction biodiversity induced by an introduced ungulate (2003, background): “Our work adds to a growing literature showing that introduced species can, and often do, alter the properties of communities they invade in multiple ways (Simberloff 1991; Williamson 1996; Mooney & Hobbs 2000).”
Biological invasions as disruptors of plant reproductive mutualisms. (2006, background): “For instance, introduced honeybees are important pollinators of several alien species, both on continents [50, 51 ] and islands such as Bonin [52], New Zealand [26], Tasmania [53] Azores [15] and Santa Cruz [54].”
