Dispersal and emerging ecological impacts of Ponto-Caspian species in the Laurentian Great Lakes.

TL;DR: Impacts of these benthic invaders vary with site: in some shallow areas, habitat changes and the Dreissena → round goby → piscivore food chain have improved conditions for certain native game fishes and waterfowl; in offshore waters, DreissENA is competing for settling algae with the native amphipod Diporeia spp.

Progress toward understanding the ecological impacts of nonnative species

TL;DR: 19 testable hypotheses that explain temporal and spatial variation in impact are identified and reviewed and highlight the importance of the functional ecology of the nonnative species and the structure, diversity, and evolutionary experience of the recipient community as general determinants of impact.

Twenty years of invasion: a review of round goby Neogobius melanostomus biology, spread and ecological implications.

TL;DR: This review provides a central reference as researchers continue studying N. melanostomus, which inhabit a wide range of temperate freshwater and brackish-water ecosystems and will probably continue to spread via ballast water, accidental bait release and natural dispersal worldwide.

Effects of Alien Species on Freshwater Mollusks in North America

TL;DR: Because of ineffective control of aliens in North America, they may be an increasingly important factor in molluscan distribution as new species arrive from other continents and established species spread throughout the continent.

Recruitment Failure of Mottled Sculpin Cottus bairdi in Calumet Harbor, Southern Lake Michigan, Induced by the Newly Introduced Round Goby Neogobius melanostomus

TL;DR: It is concluded that recruitment failure and subsequent demise of mottled sculpins was most likely caused by spawning interference by round gobies.

The components of prédation as revealed by a study of small-mammal prédation of the European pine sawfly.

TL;DR: Predation, one such process that affects numbers, forms the subject of the present paper and is based on the density-dependence concept of Smith ( 1955) and the competition theory of Nicholson (1933).

Biological invasions: Lessons for ecology.

TL;DR: Progress in invasion studies hinges on realization that species' ranges are naturally dynamic; recognition that colonist species and target communities cannot be studied independently, but that species-community interactions determine invasion success.
