Biotic resistance in marine environments

DL Kimbro, BS Cheng, ED Grosholz - Ecology letters, 2013‏ - Wiley Online Library
Biological invasions depend in part on the resistance of native communities. Meta‐analyses
of terrestrial experiments demonstrate that native primary producers and herbivores …

Sydney Harbour: a review of anthropogenic impacts on the biodiversity and ecosystem function of one of the world's largest natural harbours

M Mayer-Pinto, EL Johnston… - Marine and …, 2015‏ - CSIRO Publishing

Corridors for aliens but not for natives: effects of marine urban sprawl at a regional scale

L Airoldi, X Turon, S Perkol‐Finkel… - Diversity and …, 2015‏ - Wiley Online Library
Aim The global sprawl of marine hard infrastructure (eg breakwaters, sea walls and jetties)

Invasional meltdown: invader–invader mutualism facilitates a secondary invasion

PT Green, DJ O'Dowd, KL Abbott, M Jeffery… - Ecology, 2011‏ - Wiley Online Library
In multiply invaded ecosystems, introduced species should interact with each other as well
as with native species. Invader–invader interactions may affect the success of further …

Anthropogenic disturbance can determine the magnitude of opportunistic species responses on marine urban infrastructures

L Airoldi, F Bulleri - PLoS One, 2011‏ - journals.plos.org
Background Coastal landscapes are being transformed as a consequence of the increasing
demand for infrastructures to sustain residential, commercial and tourist activities. Thus …

Stronger biotic resistance in tropics relative to temperate zone: effects of predation on marine invasion dynamics

AL Freestone, GM Ruiz, ME Torchin - Ecology, 2013‏ - Wiley Online Library
Latitudinal patterns of nonnative species richness suggest fewer successful invasions in the
tropics, relative to temperate regions. One main hypothesis for this pattern is that biotic …
