AVIAN EXTINCTIONS FROM TROPICAL AND SUBTROPICAL FORESTS (2004, background): “The introduced brown tree snake (Boiga irregularis) was likely responsible for the loss of 12 (at least 8 forest species) of 18 native bird species from Guam (Fritts & Rodda 1998, Wiles et al. 2003).”
A snake in paradise: Disturbance of plant reproduction following extirpation of bird flower-visitors on Guam (2008, background): “One of the worst known cases of an introduced predator species is the brown treesnake (Boiga irregularis) to the island of Guam (Savidge, 1987; Fritts and Rodda, 1998; Wiles et al., 2003 ).”
Evolution and behavioural responses to human-induced rapid environmental change (2011, background): “It is worth noting, however, that except when the habitat change is catastrophic (e.g. replacing a forest with a shopping mall), many forms of habitat change can actually provide new habitat for some taxa.”
Potential impacts of invasive Spartina alterniflora on spring bird communities at Chongming Dongtan, a Chinese wetland of international importance (2009, background): “Invasive species not only alter local abiotic environments but also greatly affect native biodiversity (Forys and Allen, 1999; McKinney and Lockwood, 1999; Martin et al., 2000; Wiles et al., 2003 ).”
