Norberg, A.; Abrego, N.; Guillaume Blanchet, F.; Adler, F. R.; Anderson, B. J.; Anttila, J.; Araújo, M. B.; Dallas, T.; Dunson, D.; Elith, J.; Foster, S. D.; Fox, R.; Franklin, J.; Godsoe, William; Guisan, A.; O'Hara, B.; Hill, N. A.; Holt, R. D.; Hui, F. K. C.; Husby, M.; Kålås, J. A.; Lehikoinen, A.; Luoto, M.; Mod, H. K.; Newell, G.; Renner, I.; Roslin, T.; Soininen, J.; Thuiller, W.; Vanhatalo, J.; Warton, D.; White, M.; Zimmermann, N. E.; Gravel, D.; Ovaskainen, O. (Wiley Periodicals, Inc. on behalf of Ecological Society of America, 2019-08)

A large array of species distribution model (SDM) approaches has been developed for explaining and predicting the occurrences of individual species or species assemblages. Given the wealth of existing models, it is unclear ...

Enhancing nectar provision in vineyard habitats for the endemic New Zealand butterfly, Lycaena salustius

Gillespie, Mark A.; Wratten, Stephen D. (New Zealand Ecological Society, 2013)

Nectar is an important factor influencing the level and persistence of butterfly populations, but particular sources of nectar may not be optimal for all species. In a farmland context, it is not always clear whether nectar ...

Eating at high elevation: An herbivorous beetle from alpine rock outcrops relies on ammonia-absorbing lichens

Marris, John W. M.; Hawke, D.; Glenny, D. (Wiley on behalf of the Ecological Society of America, 2019-01-08)

The flightless endemic New Zealand beetle, Protodendrophagus antipodes Thomas 2003 (Coleoptera: Silvanidae: Brontinae: Brontini; Fig. 1a, b), is unique among its tribe of 12 globally distributed genera in exchanging the ...

A conceptual map of invasion biology: Integrating hypotheses into a consensus network

Enders, M.; Havemann, F.; Ruland, F.; Bernard-Verdier, M.; Catford, J. A.; Gómez-Aparicio, L.; Haider, S.; Heger, T.; Kueffer, C.; Kühn, I.; Meyerson, L. A.; Musseau, C.; Novoa, A.; Ricciardi, A.; Sagouis, A.; Schittko, C.; Strayer, D. L.; Vilà, M.; Essl, F.; Hulme, Philip E.; van Kleunen, M.; Kumschick, S.; Lockwood, J. L.; Mabey, A. L.; McGeoch, M. A.; Palma, E.; Pyšek, P.; Saul, W. C.; Yannelli, F. A.; Jeschke, J. M. (Wiley, 2020-06-01)

Global Ecology and Biogeography published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd Background and aims: Since its emergence in the mid-20th century, invasion biology has matured into a productive research field addressing questions of ...

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 ...

Mycorrhizal co-invasion and novel interactions depend on neighborhood context

Moeller, H. V.; Dickie, Ian; Peltzer, D. A.; Fukami, T. (John Wiley & Sons, Inc. on behalf of the Ecological Society of America, 2015-09)

© 2015 by the Ecological Society of America. Biological invasions are a rapidly increasing driver of global change, yet fundamental gaps remain in our understanding of the factors determining the success or extent of ...

Intraspecific variation in indirect plant–soil feedbacks influences a wetland plant invasion

Allen, Warwick; Meyerson, L. A.; Flick, A. J.; Cronin, J. T. (Ecological Society of America, 2018-06-01)

Plant–soil feedbacks (PSFs) influence plant competition via direct interactions with pathogens and mutualists or indirectly via apparent competition/mutualisms (i.e., spillover to co-occurring plants) and soil legacy ...

Quantifying invasion resistance: the use of recruitment functions to control for propagule pressure

Miller, Alice; Diez, J. M.; Sullivan, Jon J.; Wangen, S. R.; Wiser, S. K.; Meffin, R.; Duncan, Richard P. (John Wiley & Sons, Inc. on behalf of the Ecological Society of America, 2014-04)

Invasive species distributions tend to be biased towards some habitats compared to others due to the combined effects of habitat-specific resistance to invasion and non-uniform propagule pressure. These two factors may ...

Life histories, dispersal, invasions, and global change: progress and prospects in New Zealand ecology, 1989–2029

Kelly, D.; Sullivan, Jon J. (New Zealand Ecological Society., 2010)

We highlight three areas of significant progress in ecology since 1989 which are particularly relevant to New Zealand, and three major challenges for the next two decades. Progress: (1) The unusual life histories of New ...

Distribution and spread of environmental weeds along New Zealand roadsides

Sullivan, Jon J.; Williams, P. A.; Timmins, S.; Smale, M. (New Zealand Ecological Society., 2009)

Most non-native weeds and other naturalised plants are in the early stages of invasion into New Zealand landscapes. For this invasion to be controlled, even partially, it is important to understand the dominant routes, ...
