Plant invasions, a byproduct of globalization, are increasing worldwide. Because of their
ecological and economic impacts, considerable efforts have been made to understand and …

Large herbivores play unique ecological roles and are disproportionately imperiled by
human activity. As many wild populations dwindle towards extinction, and as interest grows …

Climate-driven changes in biotic interactions can profoundly alter ecological communities,
particularly when they impact foundation species. In marine systems, changes in herbivory …

Introduced invasive alien aquatic plants (IAAPs) threaten ecosystems due to their excessive
growth and have both ecological and economic impacts. To minimize these impacts …

A predictive understanding of the ecological impacts of nonnative species has been slow to
develop, owing largely to an apparent dearth of clearly defined hypotheses and the lack of a …

Invasions by alien plants provide a unique opportunity to examine competitive interactions
among plants. While resource competition has long been regarded as a major mechanism …

While human-driven biological invasions are rapidly spreading, finding scalable and
effective control methods poses an unresolved challenge. Here, we assess whether …

Invasive nonindigenous plant species (NIPS) threaten native diversity, alter ecosystem
processes, and may interact with other components of global environmental change. Here, a …

Species invasions provide numerous unplanned and frequently, but imperfectly, replicated
experiments that can be used to better understand the natural world. Classic studies by …

1. With evidence of significant global insect declines mounting, urgent calls to mitigate such
declines are also increasing. Efforts to reverse insect declines will only succeed, however, if …
