BOTTOM-UP EFFECTS ON PERSISTENCE OF A SPECIALIST PREDATOR: ANT INVASIONS AND HORNED LIZARDS (2002, background): “Argentine ants may also indirectly impact plants and animals by disrupting other components of arthropod communities (Cole et al. 1992, Human and Gordon 1997, Holway 1998, Bolger et al. 2000).”
Importance of Habitat Area and Landscape Context for Species Richness of Bees and Wasps in Fragmented Orchard Meadows (2003, background): “Bolger et al. (2000) did not find significant speciesarea relationships for bees and wasps sampled by pitfall traps and vacuums in urban habitat fragments.”
Invasibility and species richness of island endemic arthropods: a general model of endemic vs. exotic species (2006, background): “…species richness are mainly positively correlated with anthropogenic surrogate environmental variables (e.g. distance to man-made habitats, edge effects and roads; see Malcolm, 1994; Fagan et al., 1999; Bolger et al., 2000; Haskell, 2000; Helms & Vinson, 2002; Holway et al., 2002; or With, 2002).”
Are urban parks refuges for bumble bees Bombus spp. (Hymenoptera: Apidae)? (2006, positive): “Edge adapted species proliferate within patches with a high ratio of perimeter to area while non-edge adapted species decline, altering community dynamics and structure (Bolger et al., 2000).”
The effects of forest patch size and matrix type on changes in carabid beetle assemblages in an urbanized landscape (2008, background): “Arthropods show varied responses to urbanization, meaning that some arthropod communities show increases in urban habitat fragments while other arthropod communities decline (Kitahara and Fuji, 1994; Bolger et al., 2000; Alaruikka et al., 2002).”
Ecological Effects of Invasive Arthropod Generalist Predators (2006, background): “…Argentine ant and of nonnative Isopoda, Dermaptera, and Blattaria all are correlated positively with one another and inversely with patch size (Bolger et al. 2000), although it is unclear whether exotics are facilitating one another’s invasion or simply responding in kind to the same…”
Extinction and Colonization of Birds on Habitat Islands (2001, methodology): “We selected these three measures as the independent variables because they have been identified as important predictors of the occurrence of scrub birds (Soulé et al. 1988; Bolger et al. 1991) and other animals (Bolger et al. 1997 b , Suarez et al. 1998; Bolger et al. 2000) in this system.”
ROLE OF ABIOTIC FACTORS IN GOVERNING SUSCEPTIBILITY TO INVASION: A TEST WITH ARGENTINE ANTS (2002, background): “1610 Key words: abiotic factors; biological invasions; competitive exclusion; condition-specific competition; habitat fragmentation; interspecific competition; Linepithema humile.”
Local and landscape drivers of arthropod abundance, richness, and trophic composition in urban habitats (2013, background): “For example, urbanization and associated fragmentation may affect the relative abundance of different trophic groups and result in changes in predator composition and trophic structure (Bolger et al. 2000; Gibb and Hochuli 2002).”
Urbanization Shapes the Ecology and Evolution of Plant-Arthropod Herbivore Interactions (2019, background): “Habitat fragmentation in particular has been identified as a driver of shifts in community assembly, whereby communities in habitats that are highly fragmented tend to have more generalist and invasive nonnative species than communities with less habitat fragmentation (Bolger et al., 2000; Gibb and ”
Rapid biodiversity assessment of arthropods for monitoring average local species richness and related ecosystem services (2010, methodology): “The morphospecies approach Following the first attempt to use morphospecies instead of species made in Australia (Cranston and Hillman 1992; Oliver and Beattie 1993, 1996), we adapted the identification of parataxonomic units (Bolger et al. 2000; Kerr et al. 2000).”
