Five Potential Consequences of Climate Change for Invasive Species
TL;DR: The stages of invasion known as the "invasion pathway" are used to identify 5 nonexclusive consequences of climate change for invasive species and the need for enhanced environmental monitoring and expanded coordination among entities involved in invasive-species management is emphasized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecosystem engineering in space and time.
Alan Hastings,James E. Byers,Jeffrey A. Crooks,Kim Cuddington,Clive G. Jones,John G. Lambrinos,Theresa Sinicrope Talley,William G. Wilson +7 more
TL;DR: This work focuses on how temporal, spatial and organizational scales usefully inform the roles played by ecosystem engineers and their incorporation into broader ecological contexts.
Journal ArticleDOI

James E. Byers,Sarah H. Reichard,John M. Randall,Ingrid M. Parker,Carey S. Smith,W. M. Lonsdale,I. A. E. Atkinson,Timothy R. Seastedt,Mark Williamson,E. Chornesky,D. Hayes +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, a directed approach for conservation research to aid in prioritizing non-indigenous species for intervention by resource managers is proposed, highlighting the roles of risk assess- ment and research in improving control efforts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Introduction of Non-Native Oysters: Ecosystem Effects and Restoration Implications
Jennifer L. Ruesink,Hunter S. Lenihan,Alan C. Trimble,Kimberly W. Heiman,Fiorenza Micheli,James E. Byers,Matthew C. Kay +6 more
TL;DR: Oysters have been introduced worldwide to 73 countries, but the ecological consequences of the introductions are not fully understood and substantial population, community, and habitat changes have accompanied new oysters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of non‐indigenous species on natives enhanced by anthropogenic alteration of selection regimes
TL;DR: This work documents examples from two areas of dramatic human alteration of selection regimes - eutrophication and the selective removal of top predators - that support this mechanism and highlights ways in which this mechanism is experimentally testable.
