Classical biological control for the protection of natural ecosystems (2010, background): “In Oregon, purple loosestrife infestations have lowered plant and insect diversity in tufted hairgrass (Deschampsia cespitosa) communities (Schooler et al., 2006) and affected insect diversity in estuarine habitats important for juvenile salmon migration (Schooler et al., 2009).”
Biological consequences of invasion by reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea) (2009, background): “These results concur with previous controlled studies or experimental manipulations of RCG dominance (Green and Galatowitsch 2002; Kercher and Zedler 2004; Kercher et al. 2007), as well as spatial comparisons (Houlahan and Findlay 2004; Meier 2004; Perkins and Wilson 2005; Schooler et al. 2006 ), a”
Impacts of Biological Invasions on Freshwater Ecosystems (2010, background): “Water clarity in the estuary tripled within a few years of the clam ’ s discovery, and coincided with the development of submerged Burrows 2005 ) and reduced diversity (Boylen et al. 1999 ; Schooler et al. 2006 ).”
