Invasive species drive cross-ecosystem effects worldwide
Invasive species are pervasive around the world and have profound impacts on the ecosystem they invade. Invasive species, however, can also have...

Modeling the effects of species associations and abiotic parameters on the abundance of mosquito species in a Mediterranean wetland
Recent outbreaks of the West Nile virus have been reported in southern Spain, a region with important wetland habitats for migratory birds. Here, we...

Effects of sample size, data quality, and species response in environmental space on modeling species distributions
ContextThere have been many studies using species distribution models (SDMs) to predict shifts in species distributions due to environmental changes,...
-
Herbivory-induced effects on pollination services to undamaged neighboring flowering species
Reproduction in flowering plants depends to a large degree on interactions with competitors, mutualists, and antagonists, but may also depend on the...
-
Extant species are more responsive than locally extinct species to warming effects on soil communities
PurposeClimate change may alter interactions between plants and their associated soil microbial communities, including microbe-mediated plant-soil...

Network effects in multi-species fisheries
Managing sustainable marine fisheries is one of the greatest challenges for humanity. The complexity of the issue calls for the development of...
-
Nutrient effects on drought responses vary across common temperate grassland species
Drought and nutrient input are two main global change drivers that threaten ecosystem function and services. Resolving the interactive effects of...
-
Smoke effects on the germination of Cerrado species
Fire is a natural component in tropical open ecosystems. Therefore, species are adapted to and thrive in post-fire conditions. In these fire-prone...

Species Methods
This chapter is essentially a follow-on from the previous chapter, but with an additional level of complexity. One can simply add an additional...

Carryover effects of salinity impact propagule release by a common marine biofouling species
The spread of marine non-indigenous species (NIS) is driven largely by ship** and global trade. Biofouling on vessel hulls is a major source of...

Seed Germination of Almond Species
Almonds have hard shells (endocarps), and in some species, mechanical and/or chemical scarification, such as immersion in sulfuric acid, is required...

Behaviour and landscape contexts determine the effects of artificial light on two crepuscular bird species
ContextArtificial light at night (ALAN) is increasing worldwide, with many ecological effects. Aerial insectivores may benefit from foraging on...

Effects of plant diversity on species-specific herbivory: patterns and mechanisms
Invertebrate herbivory can shape plant communities when impacting growth and fitness of some plant species more than other species. Previous studies...

Legume effects in a native community invaded by alien Asteraceae in a multi-species comparison
Facilitation has been a long-neglected type of interaction but received more attention recently. Legumes are commonly involved in facilitative...

Elevated nest temperature has opposing effects on host species infested with parasitic nest flies
Environmental factors, such as elevated temperature, can have varying effects on hosts and their parasites, which can have consequences for the net...

Effects and perception of marine introduced species by stakeholders in the Wadden Sea—an exploratory approach
As a result of globalization of markets and increasing marine traffic, more than 130 introduced species have so far been recorded in the Wadden Sea....

Comparison of the Effects of Some Applications on Root and Shoot Development of Different Vitis Species
Grape varieties, rootstocks and genotypes belonging to the Vitis species have been grown for various purposes since ancient times. Different Vitis ...

Disentangling the effects of management and climate change on habitat suitability for saproxylic species in boreal forests
Forest degradation induced by intensive forest management and temperature increase by climate change are resulting in biodiversity decline in boreal...
-
Competitive effects of an invasive grass on native annuals are species-specific and independent of water availability
Dryland native plant communities are threatened by increasing aridity and the progressive expansion of invasive plant species regionally. Red brome ( B...

Effects of spatial patterning within working pine forests on priority avian species in Mississippi
ContextWithin dynamic ecosystems, research into how land use changes and patterns affect species diversity has led to a suite of ecological...
