    Native amphibian toxin reduces invasive crayfish feeding with potential benefits to stream biodiversity

    Biodiversity is generally reduced when non-native species invade an ecosystem. Invasive crayfish, Procambarus clarkii, populate California freshwater streams, and in the Santa Monica Mountains (Los Angeles, USA),...

    The effect of newt toxin on an invasive snail

    Invasive species are well documented to impact native species where they are introduced. In the Santa Monica Mountains, a native species of amphibian, the California newt (Taricha torosa) possesses a neurotoxin, ...

    Aquatic invasive species: challenges for the future

    Humans have effectively transported thousands of species around the globe and, with accelerated trade; the rate of introductions has increased over time. Aquatic ecosystems seem at particular risk from invasiv...

    Effects of newt chemical cues on the distribution and foraging behavior of stream macroinvertebrates

    Many amphibians possess noxious or toxic substances for self defense. These compounds have been characterized largely as chemical defenses, but may promote ecological and evolutionary processes. The California...

    Aquatic invasive species: general trends in the literature and introduction to the special issue

    Invasion rates are increasing worldwide and most are due to the actions of humans. Deliberate introductions, escapes, and hitchhiking with global commerce transport species to other continents. While most spec...

    Impact of chaparral wildfire-induced sedimentation on oviposition of stream-breeding California newts (Taricha torosa)

    We examined the effects of chaparral wildfire on stream-breeding California newts (Taricha torosa) in a 750-m stretch of a perennial Santa Monica Mountain stream (Los Angeles County). Detailed field surveys of 1...
