Population-Level Metrics of Trophic Structure Based on Stable Isotopes and Their Application to Invasion Ecology
Michelle C. Jackson,Ian Donohue,Andrew L. Jackson,J. Robert Britton,David M. Harper,Jonathan Grey,Jonathan Grey +6 more
TL;DR: New metrics derived from stable isotope data are applied to provide quantitative measures of trophic diversity within populations or species to test the hypothesis that sympatric invaders belonging to the same functional feeding group occupy a smaller isotopic niche than their allopatric counterparts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pan-continental invasion of Pseudorasbora parva: towards a better understanding of freshwater fish invasions
Rodolphe E. Gozlan,Demetra Andreou,Takashi Asaeda,Kathleen Beyer,Rachid Bouhadad,Dean Burnard,Nuno Caiola,P. Cakic,Vesna Djikanovic,Hamid Reza Esmaeili,Istvan Falka,Duncan Golicher,Akos Harka,Galina Jeney,Vladimír Kováč,Jiří Musil,Annamaria Nocita,Meta Povz,Nicolas Poulet,Tomas Virbickas,Christian Wolter,A. Serhan Tarkan,Elena Tricarico,Teodora Trichkova,Hugo Verreycken,Andrzej Witkowski,Chun Guang Zhang,Irene Zweimueller,J. Robert Britton +28 more
TL;DR: The Pseudorasbora parva invasion has provided quantitative data for the development of 1) early warning systems across different spatial scales; 2) rapid eradication programmes prior to natural spread in open systems and 3) sound risk assessments with emphasis on plasticity of life history traits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Voracious invader or benign feline? A review of the environmental biology of European catfish Silurus glanis in its native and introduced ranges
Gordon H. Copp,Gordon H. Copp,J. Robert Britton,Julien Cucherousset,Julien Cucherousset,Emili García-Berthou,Ruth S. Kirk,E.J. Peeler,Saulius Stakėnas +8 more
TL;DR: This investigation was supported in part through research grants from the Environment Agency and the UK Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, the Spanish Ministry of Education and Science and the EC Marie Curie programme.
Journal ArticleDOI
Invader Relative Impact Potential: a new metric to understand and predict the ecological impacts of existing, emerging and future invasive alien species
Jaimie T. A. Dick,Ciaran Laverty,Jack J. Lennon,Daniel Barrios-O'Neill,Paul J. Mensink,J. Robert Britton,Vincent Médoc,Pieter Boets,Mhairi E. Alexander,Nigel G. Taylor,Alison M. Dunn,Melanie J. Hatcher,Paula J. Rosewarne,Steven Crookes,Hugh J. MacIsaac,Xu Meng,Anthony Ricciardi,Ryan J. Wasserman,Bruce R. Ellender,Olaf L. F. Weyl,Frances E. Lucy,Frances E. Lucy,Peter B. Banks,Jennifer A. Dodd,Calum MacNeil,Marcin R. Penk,David C. Aldridge,Joe M. Caffrey +27 more
TL;DR: The Relative Impact Potential metric combines the per capita effects of invaders with their abundances, relative to trophically analogous natives, and is successful in predicting the likelihood and degree of ecological impact caused by invasive alien species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trophic interactions and consequent impacts of the invasive fish Pseudorasbora parva in a native aquatic foodweb: a field investigation in the UK
TL;DR: Stable isotope analysis (SIA) revealed significant trophic overlap between P. parva, R. rutilus and C. erythrophthalmus as discussed by the authors.
