Emerging invasive alien plants for the Mediterranean BasinBrundu3, G. Fried4 (2010, background): “…it reduces rice production (Moreira et al., 2005), clogs irrigation canals (Gopal, 1987), modifies aquatic habitats leading to loss of biodiversity (Toft et al., 2003), blocks hydropower generation stations and recreation areas, decreases water quality, and may increase the risk of transmission of…”
Impact of three aquatic invasive species on native plants and macroinvertebrates in temperate ponds (2011, background): “1998), (2) negative effects of the invasive species on density and/or assemblage of invertebrates (Feldman 2001; Toft et al. 2003) and (3) positive effects of the invasive species on density of invertebrates (Strayer et al.”
Alien species in fresh waters: ecological effects, interactions with other stressors, and prospects for the future (2010, background): “However, alien plant species do not always support more animals than their native counterparts (Keast, 1984; Toft et al., 2003; Theel, Dibble & Madsen, 2008), although community composition of the fauna usually differs.”
Classical biological control for the protection of natural ecosystems (2010, background): “Floating plants strongly affect the physical character of the habitats they invade (Toft et al., 2003), and therefore their effects on biodiversity have much in common across several invasive species.”
