Ecological functions of neotropical amphibians and reptiles: a review (2015, background): “These processes, in the case of arthropods eaters, can reduce the number of adult individuals or larvae (Schmitz & Sokol-Hessner 2002, Maerz et al. 2005, Schmitz 2008, Homyack et al. 2010, Mooney et al. 2010, Best & Welsh 2014).”
Non‐native invasive earthworms as agents of change in northern temperate forests (2004, background): “Northern forests are important global C sinks, but environmental changes may turn them into C sources (McKane et al. 1997; Hobbie et al. 2002).”
Spatial variability of an invasive earthworm (Amynthas agrestis) population and potential impacts on soil characteristics and millipedes in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, USA (2011, background): “been suggested for earthworm predators, such as salamanders (Maerz et al. 2005).”
Gorging on gobies: beneficial effects of alien prey on a threatened vertebrate (2006, background): “…introduced prey species (Adams and Mitchell 1995; Penchaszadeh et al. 2000; Harding 2003; Flueck 2004; Gregory and Isaac 2004; Kelly and Dick 2005; Maerz et al. 2005), but we know of just one other case for which quantitative data are available before and after introduction of an alien species…”
The influence of invasive earthworms on indigenous fauna in ecosystems previously uninhabited by earthworms (2006, background): “Maerz et al. (2005) found that adult red-backed salamanders (Plethodon cinereus Green) consume large numbers of introduced earthworms in such forests, leading to increases in adult salamander food availability compared to forest habitats that remain free of earthworms.”
Invasibility and species richness of island endemic arthropods: a general model of endemic vs. exotic species (2006, background): “Some studies demonstrate that such facilitation processes can be the rule on some occasions because introduced species may be a particularly abundant resource for generalist native species, increasing both their populations and their geographical distribution (Wormington & Leach, 1992; Pearson et al”
