Differential short- and long-term effects of an invertebrate predator on zooplankton communities in invaded and native lakes.
Kelly, N. E.; Yan, N. D.; Walseng, B.; Hessen, D. O.; Wiley-Blackwell, Oxford, UK, Diversity and Distributions, 2013, 19, 4, pp 396-410, many ref. Aim: Forecasting the effects of invasive species remains difficult, because short-term effects may be transitory and theories of long-term effects are poorly developed and rarely tested. Here, we compare zooplankton communities from freshwater lakes in No...

Are environmental transitions more prone to biological invasions?
Rensburg, B. J. van; Hugo, S.; Levin, N.; Kark, S.; Wiley-Blackwell, Oxford, UK, Diversity and Distributions, 2013, 19, 3, pp 341-351, many ref. Aim: To examine whether at a subcontinental-scale ecotonal areas of transition between vegetation communities are at higher risk of plant invasion. Location: South Africa and Lesotho. Methods: Using plant data on native and established alien species in So...

The influence of native versus exotic streetscape vegetation on the spatial distribution of birds in suburbs and reserves.
Ikin, K.; Knight, E.; Lindenmayer, D. B.; Fischer, J.; Manning, A. D.; Wiley-Blackwell, Oxford, UK, Diversity and Distributions, 2013, 19, 3, pp 294-306, many ref. Aim: Management practices in the landscape matrix can have significant effects on the spatial distribution of animals within adjacent protected areas. This has been well established in agricultural and forested areas, but less is known about how managemen...

Contrasting landscape effects on species diversity and invasion success within a predator community.
Hogg, B. N.; Daane, K. M.; Wiley-Blackwell, Oxford, UK, Diversity and Distributions, 2013, 19, 3, pp 281-293, many ref. Aim: The role of landscape variation in shaping invasion success remains unclear, particularly for exotic predators. We examined whether native and exotic predators responded similarly or differently to ecological change at the landscape scale. Location: ...

Predicted effects of climate change on potential sources of non-indigenous marine species.
Floerl, O.; Rickard, G.; Inglis, G.; Roulston, H.; Wiley-Blackwell, Oxford, UK, Diversity and Distributions, 2013, 19, 3, pp 257-267, many ref. Aim: We compare the present-day global ocean climate with future climatologies based on Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) models and examine whether changes in global ocean climate will affect the environmental similarity of New Zealand's (...

Where do they come from and where do they go? European natural habitats as donors of invasive alien plants globally.
Kalusová, V.; Chytrý, M.; Kartesz, J. T.; Nishino, M.; Pyšek, P.; Wiley-Blackwell, Oxford, UK, Diversity and Distributions, 2013, 19, 2, pp 199-214, many ref. Aim: The percentage of alien species found in a given habitat depends on the habitat vulnerability to invasion (invasibility) and the number of species introduced (propagule pressure). However, the global pool of alien species suited to a given habitat al...

Invasion success and impact of an invasive fish, round goby, in Great Lakes tributaries.
Kornis, M. S.; Sharma, S.; Zanden, M. J. vander; Ricciardi, A.; Wiley-Blackwell, Oxford, UK, Diversity and Distributions, 2013, 19, 2, pp 184-198, many ref. Aim: Environmental and biological characteristics interact in complex ways to determine ecosystem susceptibility to invasive species, and a greater understanding of their relative roles in invader spread and impact is needed. We evaluated relationships be...

Phylogenetic evidence for multiple and secondary introductions of invasive snails: Pomacea species in the People's Republic of China.
Lv, S.; Zhang Yi; Liu HeXiang; Hu Ling; Liu Qin; Wei FuRong; Guo YunHai; Steinmann, P.; Hu Wei; Zhou XiaoNong; Utzinger, J.; Wiley-Blackwell, Oxford, UK, Diversity and Distributions, 2013, 19, 2, pp 147-156, 48 ref. Aim: To determine the genetic diversity of invasive snails (Pomacea spp.) that are implicated in crop damage, environmental degradation and human disease, and to determine their distribution pattern in a large part of eastern Asia. Location: People's Repu...

Divergent introduction histories among invasive populations of the delicate skink (Lampropholis delicata): has the importance of genetic admixture in the success of biological invasions been overemphasized?
Chapple, D. G.; Miller, K. A.; Kraus, F.; Thompson, M. B.; Wiley-Blackwell, Oxford, UK, Diversity and Distributions, 2013, 19, 2, pp 134-146, many ref. Aim: Invasive species are predicted to experience a reduction in genetic diversity during the introduction process because of founder effects, yet they are able to successfully establish in new regions and outcompete the native biota. Admixture has been p...

Explaining invasiveness from the extent of native range: new insights from plant atlases and herbarium specimens.
Lavoie, C.; Shah, M. A.; Bergeron, A.; Villeneuve, P.; Wiley-Blackwell, Oxford, UK, Diversity and Distributions, 2013, 19, 1, pp 98-105, many ref. Aim: We tested the relationship between the extent of the native range and the success (number of occurrences) in the introduced range of European vascular plant species naturalized in the province of Québec (Canada). We hypothesized that the performance ...
