Consequences of the introduction of exotic and translocated species and future extirpations on the functional diversity of freshwater fish assemblages (2013, background): “Compared with ‘exotic species’ (i.e. species originating in another biogeographical zone), the impact of the introduction of translocated species on ecosystem processes and functions has been much less widely considered (Guo & Ricklefs, 2010; Carey et al., 2012).”
Ecological and evolutionary implications of food subsidies from humans. (2013, background): “These species exploit food from human origin, have increased their numbers and are considered “over-abundant”, and may behave as native invaders causing changes in food webs and ecosystems (see Table 1 in Carey et al. 2012).”
Another call for the end of invasion biology (2013, background): “…that precludes native species; however, the ﬁ eld has generally not been willing to consider native species under the umbrella of invasive species (but see Davis and Th ompson 2000, Davis et al. 2001, 2011, Val é ry et al. 2008, 2009, Th ompson and Davis 2011a, Carey et al. 2012 for exceptions).”
