Towards management of invasive ectomycorrhizal fungi

Dickie, Ian; Nuñez, M. A.; Pringle, A.; Lebel, T.; Tourtellot, Samuel; Johnston, P. R. (Springer Verlag (Germany), 2016-08-04)

Ectomycorrhizal fungi are increasingly recognized as invasive species. Invasive ectomycorrhizal fungi can be toxic to humans, may compete with native, edible or otherwise valuable fungi, facilitate the co-invasion of trees, ...

Invasive N-fixer impacts on litter decomposition driven by changes to soil properties not litter quality

Broadbent, A. A. D.; Orwin, Kate H.; Peltzer, D. A.; Dickie, Ian; Mason, N. W. H.; Ostle, N. J.; Stevens, C. J. (Springer, 2017-09-01)

Invasive nitrogen (N)-fixing plants often fundamentally change key ecosystem functions, particularly N-cycling. However, the consequences of this for litter decomposition, and the mechanisms that underpin ecosystem responses, ...

Developing a list of invasive alien species likely to threaten biodiversity and ecosystems in the European Union

Roy, H. E.; Bacher, S.; Essl, F.; Adriaens, T.; Aldridge, D. C.; Bishop, J. D. D.; Blackburn, T. M.; Branquart, E.; Brodie, J.; Carboneras, C.; Cottier-Cook, E. J.; Copp, G. H.; Dean, H. J.; Eilenberg, J.; Gallardo, B.; Garcia, M.; García-Berthou, E.; Genovesi, P.; Hulme, Philip E.; Kenis, M.; Kerckhof, F.; Kettunen, M.; Minchin, D.; Nentwig, W.; Nieto, A.; Pergl, J.; Pescott, O. L.; Peyton, J. M.; Preda, C.; Roques, A.; Rorke, S. L.; Scalera, R.; Schindler, S.; Schönrogge, K.; Sewell, J.; Solarz, W.; Stewart, A. J. A.; Tricarico, E.; Vanderhoeven, S.; van der Velde, G.; Vilà, M.; Wood, C. A.; Zenetos, A.; Rabitsch, W. (Wiley, 2019-03)

The European Union (EU) has recently published its first list of invasive alien species (IAS) of EU concern to which current legislation must apply. The list comprises species known to pose great threats to biodiversity ...

Framework and guidelines for implementing the proposed IUCN Environmental Impact Classification for Alien Taxa (EICAT)

Hawkins, C. L.; Bacher, S.; Essl, F.; Hulme, Philip E.; Jeschke, J. M.; Kühn, I.; Kumschick, S.; Nentwig, W.; Pergl, J.; Pyšek, P.; Rabitsch, W.; Richardson, D. M.; Vilà, M.; Wilson, J. R. U.; Genovesi, P.; Blackburn, T. M. (Wiley, 2015-11)

Recently, Blackburn et al. (2014) developed a simple, objective and transparent method for classifying alien taxa in terms of the magnitude of their detrimental environmental impacts in recipient areas. Here, we present a ...

Novel interactions between alien pathogens and native plants increase plant–pathogen network connectance and decrease specialization

Bufford, Jennifer; Hulme, Philip E.; Sikes, B. A.; Cooper, J. A.; Johnston, P. R.; Duncan, Richard P. (Wiley, 2020-03-01)

1. Alien plant pathogens are a threat to native plants and are increasingly integrating into native plant–pathogen networks, but how these novel plant–pathogen networks are structured remains unclear. Theory predicts that ...

Plant mutualisms with rhizosphere microbiota in introduced versus native ranges

Shelby, N.; Duncan, Richard P.; van der Putten, W. H.; McGinn, K. J.; Weser, Carolin; Hulme, Philip E. (John Wiley & Sons Ltd on behalf of British Ecological Society, 2016-09)

© 2016 The Authors. Journal of Ecology published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd on behalf of British Ecological Society. The performance of introduced plants can be limited by the availability of soil mutualists outside their ...

Beyond protocols: Improving the reliability of expert-based risk analysis underpinning invasive species policies

Vanderhoeven, S.; Branquart, E.; Casaer, J.; D'hondt, B.; Hulme, Philip E.; Shwartz, A.; Strubbe, D.; Turbé, A.; Verreycken, H.; Adriaens, T. (Springer International Publishing, 2017-09)

Risk assessment tools for listing invasive alien species need to incorporate all available evidence and expertise. Beyond the wealth of protocols developed to date, we argue that the current way of performing risk analysis ...

Plant invasions in New Zealand: Global lessons in prevention, eradication and control

Hulme, Philip E. (Springer, 2020-05)

The number of non-native plant species established outside of cultivation in the New Zealand archipelago is higher than for any other islands worldwide. Faced with this scale of plant invasions, there has been considerable ...

Using niche conservatism information to prioritize hotspots of invasion by non-native freshwater invertebrates in New Zealand

Torres, U.; Godsoe, William; Buckley, Hannah L.; Parry, M.; Lustig, Audrey; Worner, Susan P. (Wiley, 2018-12)

Aim: Identifying suitable areas for invasive species establishment is of critical impor-tance for their early detection and rapid eradication. However, our ability to detect suitable areas is impeded by the tendency of ...

Habitat manipulation to mitigate the impacts of invasive arthropod pests

Jonsson, M.; Wratten, Stephen D.; Landis, D.; Tompkins, Jean-Marie; Cullen, Ross (Springer, 2010-09)

Exotic invaders are some of the most serious insect pests of agricultural crops around the globe. Increasingly, the structure of landscape and habitat is recognized as having a major influence on both insect pests and their ...
