Understanding the long-term effects of species invasions
We describe here the ecological and evolutionary processes that modulate the effects of
invasive species over time, and argue that such processes are so widespread and important …

The role of benthic invertebrate species in freshwater ecosystems: zoobenthic species influence energy flows and nutrient cycling
Small invertebrates are function-ally important in many terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems
(Wilson 1992, Freckman et al. 1997, Palmer et al. 1997, Postel and Carpenter 1997). In …

Invasion, competitive dominance, and resource use by exotic and native California grassland species
EW Seabloom, WS Harpole… - Proceedings of the …, 2003 - National Acad Sciences
The dynamics of invasive species may depend on their abilities to compete for resources
