• Wildfire promotes dominance of invasive giant reed (Arundo donax) in riparian ecosystems (2010, background): “Negative effects on other ecosystem functions, such as wildlife habitat reduction (Knick et al. 2005), generally follow fire regime changes (Brooks et al. 2004) and associated plant invasions (Herrera and Dudley 2003; Kisner 2004).”
• Effects of saltmarsh invasion by Spartina alterniflora on arthropod community structure and diets (2009, background): “Many studies have examined the effects of invasive plants on native arthropod biodiversity, and the conclusions drawn from different studies appear to be mixed, depending on the study systems (e.g. Olckers and Hulley 1991; Agrawal and Kotanen 2003; Frenzel and Brandl 2003; Herrera and Dudley 2003; G”
• Biological consequences of invasion by reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea) (2009, background): “effects on arthropods from plant invasion (Ernst and Cappuccino 2005; Gerber et al. 2008; Herrera and Dudley 2003; Standish 2004), others have shown that negative effects can be broad (De Groot et al.”
• Host range of Tetramesa romana Walker (Hymenoptera: Eurytomidae), a potential biological control of giant reed, Arundo donax L. in North America (2009, background): “Several researchers have documented the invasiveness of A. donax along coastal rivers in south- ern California (Bell, 1997; Dudley, 2000; Dudley and Collins, 1995; Herrera and Dudley, 2003; Quinn and Holt, 2008), and along the Rio Grande in west and southwest Texas (Tracy and DeLoach, 1999).”
• Changes in Different Trophic Levels of Litter-dwelling Macrofauna Associated with Giant Knotweed Invasion (2007, background): “A decreased habitat heterogeneity after giant reed (Arundo donax) invasion is likely to be the main cause for a reduction in the ground-dwelling fauna in Californian riparian habitats ( Herrera and Dudley 2003 ).”
• Green Frogs Show Reduced Foraging Success in Habitats Invaded by Japanese knotweed (2005, background): “Though present, these nonnative invertebrates may not be routinely accessible or high quality prey for some predators (Herrera and Dudley 2003).”
• Ecology and Impacts of the Large-Statured Invasive Grasses Arundo donax and Phragmites australis in North America (2010, background): “Invasion in riparian areas alters the native vegetative structure (Herrera and Dudley 2003) and rapid growth after floods or wildfire leads to competitive displacement of native riparian vegetation such as cottonwood/willow woodlands (Coffman 2007).”
• Impact of three aquatic invasive species on native plants and macroinvertebrates in temperate ponds (2011, background): “2009; Cushman and Gaffney 2010), macroinvertebrates (Herrera and Dudley 2003; Gerber et al. 2008) and pollinators I.”
• Willow (Salix × rubens) invasion of the riparian zone in south‐eastern Australia: reduced abundance and altered composition of terrestrial arthropods (2004, background): “In creek sections dominated by the alien giant perennial grass Arundo donax in northern California, the abundance and diversity of ground-foraging and aerial invertebrates was half that found in vegetation dominated by native willows (Herrera & Dudley, 2003).”
