Global meta‐analysis of the impacts of terrestrial invertebrate invaders on species, communities and ecosystems (2016, background): “E-mail: erin.cameron@helsinki.fi INTRODUCTION Biological invasions are recognized as key drivers of global change that pose substantial threats to biodiversity and ecosystem functioning (Parker et al., 1999; Ehrenfeld, 2010; Simberloff, 2011).”
The relationship between invader abundance and impact (2018, background): “In the field of invasion biology, a heated discussion has arisen as to whether exotic species are fundamentally different from native species (Simberloff 2011b, Davis 2011).”
Four priority areas to advance invasion science in the face of rapid environmental change (2020, background): “…species (e.g., via competition, herbivory, predation, hybridization, and as diseases or their vectors), or by changing the physical, chemical, or structural characteristics of the environment (Blackburn et al. 2014; IUCN 2020) in ways that have not been documented (Carlton 2009; Simberloff 2011).”
Progress toward understanding the ecological impacts of nonnative species (2013, background): “Despite being rarely studied, such effects are known to have significant consequences for communities and ecosystem function (Baxter et al. 2004, Ricciardi 2005, White et al. 2006, Nelson et al. 2010, Simberloff 2011) and can complicate management actions (Zavaleta et al. 2001).”
Two co-occurring invasive woody shrubs alter soil properties and promote subdominant invasive species (2014, background): “2011), increased shading caused by extended leaf phenology (Fridley 2012) or alteration of ecosystem structure (Simberloff 2011).”
Invasive predators and global biodiversity loss (2016, background): “Species such as cats (Felis catus), rats (Rattus rattus), mongoose (Herpestes auropunctatus), and stoats (Mustela erminea) threaten biodiversity through predation (4, 5), competition (6), disease transmission (7), and facilitation with other invasive species (8).”
Impacts of biological invasions: what's what and the way forward. (2013, neutral): “Some invasive consumers remove or add physical structures, altering erosion regimes and changing habitat suitability for other species [41].”
Running off the road: roadside non-native plants invading mountain vegetation (2018, background): “Beside species traits, characteristics of the receiving site can play an important role in determining invasibility, with some vegetation types in a region typically being more resistant to invasion than others (e.g. Vilà et al. 2007; Milbau et al. 2013; Speziale and Ezcurra 2011).”
Risks of biological control for conservation purposes (2012, background): “Keywords Climate change Dispersal Ecosystem impact Indirect effect Non-target host Risk assessment”
Economics of invasive species policy and management (2017, background): “Natural and plantation forest invasions can negatively affect timber production, biodiversity, recreation values, and aesthetic values, as well as key biophysical and biochemical processes such as hydrological dynamics, fire frequencies, and carbon sequestration (Moser et al. 2009; Simberloff 2011).”
