Advancing impact prediction and hypothesis testing in invasion ecology using a comparative functional response approach (2014, background): “Invasive species are characteristically more able to rapidly and efficiently utilise resources than native species (Vitousek 1990; Strayer et al. 1999; Byers et al. 2002; Funk and Vitousek 2007; Johnson et al. 2008; Weis 2010; Morrison and Hay 2011; Chapple et al. 2012) and thus resources, such as n”
Progress toward understanding the ecological impacts of nonnative species (2013, background): “…of resources (e.g., a high predation rate) is ANTHONY RICCIARDI ET AL.266 Ecological Monographs Vol. 83, No. 3 R E V IE W S commonly observed among high-impact invaders (Strayer et al. 1999, Johnson et al. 2008, Morrison and Hay 2011, Dick et al. 2013), although its generality has not been tested.”
Four priority areas to advance invasion science in the face of rapid environmental change (2020, background): “The second empirically supported pattern is that the largest community-level and ecosystem-level impacts are generated by invaders that use key resources differently or more efficiently than natives do and that can alter disturbance regimes, habitat structure, or food web configurations (Vitousek 19”
Insights from an Integrated View of the Biology of Apple Snails (Caenogastropoda: Ampullariidae) (2015, background): “Ampullariid grazing can also induce the production of unidentified defense chemicals (Morrison & Hay, 2011b).”
