• Microbial growth and nitrogen retention in litter of Phragmites australis compared to Typha angustifolia (2002, background): “Some species of invertebrates, fishes, and birds seem unaffected by the change in plant cover while animals with more specific habitat requirements often show decreases in abundance following P. australis expansion (Fell et al. 1998, Benoit and Askins 1999, Angradi et al. 2001, Warren et al. 2001).”
• Nitrogen Uptake by Native and Invasive Temperate Coastal Macrophytes: Importance of Dissolved Organic Nitrogen (2010, background): “…expansion is a concern for wetland ecologists working in both tidal and non-tidal wetlands due to changes in faunal use (Meyerson et al. 2000a, Angradi et al. 2001, Buchsbaum et al. 2006), biogeochemical cycles (Windham and Lathrop 1999, Meyerson et al. 2000b, Windham and Ehrenfeld 2003), and…”
• The Runaway Weed: Costs and Failures of Phragmites australis Management in the USA (2013, background): “australis invasion alters invertebrate assemblages (Angradi et al. 2001; Robertson and Weis 2005), others suggest that some or many invertebrate taxa are unaffected (Fell et al.”
• Restoration of Arthropod Assemblages in a Spartina Salt Marsh following Removal of the Invasive Plant Phragmites australis (2005, background): “In addition, Phragmites habitats had the highest rates of mass loss from plaster casts, indicating that these areas had relatively greater flows of water, a feature correlated to changes in the surface topography (Angradi et al. 2001; Able et al. 2003).”
• Exotic plant influences soil nematode communities through litter input (2007, background): “Previous studies have found that invertebrates are more abundant in fast decomposing litter than slow one (e.g. Blair et al., 1990; Goodfriend et al., 1998; Angradi et al., 2001; Barajas-Guzman and AlvarezSanchez, 2003).”
• Can Invasive Species Facilitate Native Species? Evidence of How, When, and Why These Impacts Occur (2006, background): “Changes in vegetative biomass, water velocities, and microhabitat conditions result in higher abundances of nematodes and polychaetes, but a net reduction in total invertebrate density and species richness ( Angradi et al. 2001 ).”
• Human Facilitation of Phragmites australis Invasions in Tidal Marshes: A Review and Synthesis (2006, background): “been concerned with the potential for this plant to alter hydrology (Windham and Lathrop 1999), reduce plant biodiversity (Windham and Meyerson 2003), change animal communities ranging from benthic invertebrates (Angradi et al. 2001) to avian and fish communities (Benoit and Askins 1999; Able et al.”
• Mechanisms of marsh habitat alteration due toPhragmites: Response of young-of-the-year mummichog (Fundulus heteroclitus) to treatment forPhragmites removal (2003, background): “Over the same invasion stages, the amount of light reaching the marsh surface declines as the tall (3–4 m), dense Phragmites reduces light penetration to the marsh surface and simultaneously lowers the temperature of the marsh surface relative to a Spartina marsh (Angradi et al. 2001).”
• Green Frogs Show Reduced Foraging Success in Habitats Invaded by Japanese knotweed (2005, background): “However, a number of other studies show that exotic plant invasions are associated with declines in arthropod abundance (Blossey 1999; Hansen and Castelle 1999; Angradi et al. 2001; Herrera and Dudley 2003).”
