• What can DNA tell us about biological invasions? (2012, background): “Important examples include the Spartina cord grasses of San Francisco Bay (Neira et al. 2005) and the Ambystoma tiger salamanders in the central coast region of California (Ryan et al. 2009).”
• Hybridization and the species problem in conservation (2015, background): “A striking example is the invasion of hybrid Spartina in estuaries, where vigorous recombinant genotypes alter patterns of sedimentation and water flow, with many cascading effects on native plants and animals (Ayres et al., 2004; Neira et al., 2005).”
• Introduction of Non-Native Oysters: Ecosystem Effects and Restoration Implications (2005, background): “Evidence of invasion facilitation by habitat-creating invasive species exists for estuarine species, such as the cordgrass Spartina alterniflora in northern California (Brusati & Grosholz 2005, Neira et al. 2005), the A nn u.”
• The Invasive Species Challenge in Estuarine and Coastal Environments: Marrying Management and Science (2008, background): “…1994 Correlates with zooplankton declines Ecosystem Engineer Spartina alterniflora (smooth cordgrass) Converts mudflats; reduces shorebird foraging Neira et al. 2005, 2006, 2007; Levin et al. 2006; Tyler et al. 2007 Zostera japonica (Japanese eelgrass) Converts mudflats Posey 1988 Crassostrea…”
• Influence of invasive Spartina growth stages on associated macrofaunal communities (2007, background): “foliosa (hereafter referred to as ‘‘hybrid Spartina’’) (Neira et al. 2005), macrobenthic communities exhibit lower densities and fewer species relative to adjacent tidal flats.”
• Effects of the invasive seagrass Halophila stipulacea on the native seagrass, Syringodium filiforme, and associated fish and epibiota communities in the Eastern Caribbean. (2012, background): “…with the arrival of a submerged macrophyte is the loss of open mud and the mudflat’s associated fauna, which proceed to have profound effects at multiple trophic levels (Posey, 1988; Baldwin and Lovvorn, 1994; Neira et al., 2005; Ayres et al., 2004; Levin et al., 2006; Burfeind et al., 2009).”
