Behavioral consequences of plant invasion: an invasive plant alters rodent antipredator behavior (2010, background): “maackii may also affect other ecological interactions, such as nest predation (e.g., Schmidt and Whelan 1999; Rodewald et al. 2010), pollination (McKinney and Goodell, 2010) and disease risk (Allen B, personal communication), with largely unknown consequences.”
Conflicting values: ecosystem services and invasive tree management (2013, background): “Habitat and food use can also represent an ecological trap with, for example, birds nesting in invasive woody species sometimes having reduced nesting success (Schmidt and Whelan 1999; Rodewald et al. 2010).”
Fruit quantity of invasive shrubs predicts the abundance of common native avian frugivores in central Pennsylvania (2011, background): “However, Rodewald et al. (2010) found that Lonicera invasions can increase nest predation in urban environments, suggesting potential ‘ecological-trap’ effects of Lonicera.”
Current mismatch between research and conservation efforts: The need to study co-occurring invasive plant species (2013, background): “, Rodewald et al. (2010) compared nesting success of Northern Cardinals (Cardinalis”
