Benthic macrofaunal communities of three sites in San Francisco Bay invaded by hybrid Spartina, with comparison to uninvaded habitats (2005, background): “…S. alterniflora, native to the east coast of North America and the Gulf of Mexico, is found in Willapa Bay, Washington State and in San Francisco Bay, California (Spicher & Josselyn 1985, Daehler & Strong 1997) as well as Tasmania (Australia) (Hedge & Kriwoken 2000) and China (Chung 1990).”
Ecology, disturbance and restoration of coastal saltmarsh in Australia: a review (2006, background): “Birds have been observed to avoid S. anglica (Simpson 1995; Hedge and Kriwoken 2000), and species richness and total abundance of fauna are greater in saltmarshes dominated by native plants, compared to those dominated by S. anglica (Hedge and Kriwoken 2000).”
Positive versus negative effects of an invasive ecosystem engineer on different components of a marine ecosystem (2013, background): “…(Waldbusser et al. 2004) – may be a general attribute of invasive habitatforming species in soft-sediment ecosystems as several studies show negative effects on infauna even when overall positive effects on diversity are described (Crooks 1998, Crooks and Khim 1999, Hedge and Kriwoken 2000).”
Ecological and Evolutionary Misadventures of Spartina (2013, background): “…of infauna in S. anglica marshes in Australia (Cutajar et al. 2012), but the effect of S. anglica upon invertebrates and fish in Tasmania was virtually zero (Hedge & Kriwoken 2000), perhaps because the study was conducted at the diffuse front of the invading Spartina (Cutajar et al. 2012).”
A conceptual framework for comparing species assemblages in native and exotic habitats (2005, background): “Hedge and Kriwoken (2000) compared three habitat types in the Little Swanport Estuary of Tasmania: 1) native saltmarsh vegetation dominated by Sarcocornia quinqeflora and Juncus krausii , 2) mudflats free of vegetation, and 3) areas invaded by Spartina anglica .”
The austral cordgrass Spartina densiflora Brong.: its taxonomy, biogeography and natural history (2006, background): “Such a pattern is common for most Spartina species (e.g. S. alterniflora: Lana & Guiss, 1991; S. anglica: Hedge & Kriwoken, 2000).”
Impact of plant invasions on local arthropod communities: a meta‐analysis (2014, background): “For example, invasion of sparsely vegetated mudflats is likely to increase habitat complexity (Hedge & Kriwoken 2000), while the reverse may be expected for the invasion of already structurally complex native forest (Crooks 2002).”
Habitat complexity and community composition: relationships between different ecosystem engineers and the associated macroinvertebrate assemblages (2011, background): “Different species of cordgrass, mussels, and barnacles have been reported to alter light, temperature, wave action, sedimentation, and food availability, which in turns have influenced with the abundance and distribution of invertebrate fauna (e.g. cordgrass: Capehart and Hackney 1989; Netto and Lan”
