Journal ArticleDOI
Roles of parasites in animal invasions.
TL;DR: It is shown that the influence of parasitism on the outcomes of animal invasions is more subtle and wide ranging than has been previously realized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wildlife diseases: from individuals to ecosystems
TL;DR: The authors' ecological understanding of wildlife infectious diseases from the individual host to the ecosystem scale is reviewed, highlighting where conceptual thinking lacks verification, discussing difficulties and challenges, and offering potential future research directions.
Journal ArticleDOI
How parasites affect interactions between competitors and predators
TL;DR: The direct and indirect effects of parasitism are examined and examples of density and parasite-induced trait-mediated effects are discussed, as well as their role in promoting species exclusion or coexistence and the impact of emerging diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Advancing impact prediction and hypothesis testing in invasion ecology using a comparative functional response approach
Jaimie T. A. Dick,Mhairi E. Alexander,Jonathan M. Jeschke,Anthony Ricciardi,Hugh J. MacIsaac,Tamara B. Robinson,Sabrina Kumschick,Olaf L. F. Weyl,Alison M. Dunn,Melanie J. Hatcher,Rachel A. Paterson,Keith D. Farnsworth,David M. Richardson +12 more
TL;DR: This framework demonstrates how comparisons of invader and native functional responses, within and between Type II and IIIfunctional responses, allow testing of the likely population-level outcomes of invasions for affected species, and describes how recent studies support the predictive capacity of this method.
Journal ArticleDOI
Do invasive species perform better in their new ranges
John D. Parker,Mark E. Torchin,Ruth A. Hufbauer,Nathan P. Lemoine,Christina Alba,Dana M. Blumenthal,Oliver Bossdorf,James E. Byers,Alison M. Dunn,Robert W. Heckman,Martin Hejda,Vojtěch Jarošík,Vojtěch Jarošík,Andrew Kanarek,Lynn B. Martin,Sarah E. Perkins,Petr Pyšek,Petr Pyšek,Kristina A. Schierenbeck,Carmen Schlöder,Rieks D. van Klinken,Kurt J. Vaughn,Wyatt Williams,Lorne M. Wolfe +23 more
TL;DR: Although some invasive species are performing better in their new ranges, the pattern is not universal, and just as many are performing largely the same across ranges.
