Relative effects of environment and direct species interactions on the population growth rate of an exotic ascidian.
Grey, E. K.; Springer Berlin, Heidelberg, Germany, Oecologia, 2011, 166, 4, pp 935-947, 57 ref. The success of exotic species can be influenced by both the abiotic environment and species interactions. Many studies have demonstrated significant e...

Phylogenetic structure predicts capitular damage to Asteraceae better than origin or phylogenetic distance to natives.
Hill, S. B.; Kotanen, P. M.; Springer Berlin, Heidelberg, Germany, Oecologia, 2011, 166, 3, pp 843-851, 68 ref. Exotic species more closely related to native species may be more susceptible to attack by native natural enemies, if host use is phylogenetically con...

Invasive plant species alters consumer behavior by providing refuge from predation.
Dutra, H. P.; Barnett, K.; Reinhardt, J. R.; Marquis, R. J.; Orrock, J. L.; Springer Berlin, Heidelberg, Germany, Oecologia, 2011, 166, 3, pp 649-657, 66 ref. Understanding the effects of invasive plants on native consumers is important because consumer-mediated indirect effects have the potential to alter t...

Effects of an invasive forest pathogen on abundance of ticks and their vertebrate hosts in a California Lyme disease focus.
Swei, A.; Ostfeld, R. S.; Lane, R. S.; Briggs, C. J.; Springer Berlin, Heidelberg, Germany, Oecologia, 2011, 166, 1, pp 91-100, 68 ref. Invasive species, including pathogens, can have important effects on local ecosystems, including indirect consequences on native species. This study f...

Long-term changes in a population of an invasive bivalve and its effects.
Strayer, D. L.; Cid, N.; Malcom, H. M.; Springer Berlin, Heidelberg, Germany, Oecologia, 2011, 165, 4, pp 1063-1072, 38 ref. Although the ecological and economic effects of non-native species probably often change through time, few studies have documented such effects. The z...

Phytophagous insect fauna tracks host plant responses to exotic grass invasion.
Almeida Neto, M.; Prado, P. I.; Lewinsohn, T. M.; Springer Berlin, Heidelberg, Germany, Oecologia, 2011, 165, 4, pp 1051-1062, 83 ref. The high dependence of herbivorous insects on their host plants implies that plant invaders can affect these insects directly, by not providing a suit...

Spartina alterniflora invasion increases soil inorganic nitrogen pools through interactions with tidal subsidies in the Yangtze Estuary, China.
Peng RongHao; Fang ChangMing; Li Bo; Chen JiaKuan; Springer Berlin, Heidelberg, Germany, Oecologia, 2011, 165, 3, pp 797-807, 55 ref. Invasive alien plants increase both plant N and soil inorganic N pools in many terrestrial ecosystems. This is believed to be the result of altered pl...

Increasing native, but not exotic, biodiversity increases aboveground productivity in ungrazed and intensely grazed grasslands.
Isbell, F. I.; Wilsey, B. J.; Springer Berlin, Heidelberg, Germany, Oecologia, 2011, 165, 3, pp 771-781, 49 ref. Species-rich native grasslands are frequently converted to species-poor exotic grasslands or pastures; however, the consequences of these changes for ...

Competitive interactions between native and invasive exotic plant species are altered under elevated carbon dioxide.
Manea, A.; Leishman, M. R.; Springer Berlin, Heidelberg, Germany, Oecologia, 2011, 165, 3, pp 735-744, 76 ref. We hypothesized that the greater competitive ability of invasive exotic plants relative to native plants would increase under elevated CO2 because the...

Early impacts of biological control on canopy cover and water use of the invasive saltcedar tree (Tamarix spp.) in western Nevada, USA.
Pattison, R. R.; D'Antonio, C. M.; Dudley, T. L.; Allander, K. K.; Rice, B.; Springer Berlin, Heidelberg, Germany, Oecologia, 2011, 165, 3, pp 605-616, 40 ref. The success of biological control programs is rarely assessed beyond population level impacts on the target organism. The question of whether a biolog...
