An insight into the ecology of the invasive house mouse on small Mediterranean islands Biol. Invasions (IF 2.9) Pub Date : 2024-03-04
Abstract The invasive house mouse Mus musculus represents a great threat to islands. Eradicating house mouse populations is thus often necessary, entailing actions that could be optimised on the basis of the species’ demography and spatial behaviour. Currently, information on these aspects is scarce on small Mediterranean islands, where house mouse management programs are rising. Using spatially explicit

Away-range shifts in leaf function of a global invader: a case of resource reallocation? Biol. Invasions (IF 2.9) Pub Date : 2024-02-17
Abstract Leaf resource allocation plays a significant role in the evolution of plant functional strategies, where tradeoffs between defense, structure, and different components of photosynthesis drive the partitioning of carbon and nitrogen. One hypothesized but underexplored mechanism of the success of many invasive species in competition with natives is reallocation of resources toward higher photosynthetic

Abstract The invasion of predators can result in taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic losses in the structure of fish fauna causing ecological damage in the invaded area. We tested the hypothesis that the invasion of the silver croaker (Plagioscion squamosissimus) altered the structure of fish assemblages in a Neotropical reservoir.

Abstract Evolution can occur over contemporary timescales, which may be crucial for the invasive success of non-native plant species. Many studies have shown rapid evolution by comparing native and non-native populations in common gardens. However, our understanding of the mechanisms underpinning rapid evolution is still incomplete. Here, we identify the progress, applications, and limitations of studies

Predatory preferences of a non-indigenous crab do not depend on prey invasion scenarios Biol. Invasions (IF 2.9) Pub Date : 2024-02-07
Abstract Predatory non-indigenous species (NIS) have profound impacts on global ecosystems, potentially leading to native prey extinction and reshaping community dynamics. Among mechanisms potentially mediating predator impacts and prey invasion success are predator preferences between native vs. non-indigenous prey, a topic still underexplored.

Rapid recovery of invasive wild pig (Sus scrofa) populations following density reduction Biol. Invasions (IF 2.9) Pub Date : 2024-01-06
Abstract Trapping is an effective strategy for control of invasive wild pig (Sus scrofa), but eradication of populations via trapping alone typically is impractical throughout much of the species’ introduced range. Consequently, recovery of wild pig populations to pre-trapping levels following control is a major impediment to success of long-term control. In this study, we conducted camera-trap surveys
