Understanding how invasive plants affect biodiversity is a crucial conservation need.
Numerous studies examine impacts of invasions on birds, but trends in these effects have …

Russian-olive is a small tree or large multistemmed shrub that was introduced to Canada
and the United States from Eurasia in the early 1900s. It was provisioned in large numbers …

Exotic, invasive plants are a growing conservation problem. Birds frequently use invasive
plants as nest substrates, but effects of invasives on avian nesting success have been …

Many invading species impact native species through predation, parasitism or competition,
while others affect natives indirectly by restructuring their habitat. How invasive plants affect …

Human-induced rapid environmental change, such as the introduction of exotic species, can
create novel species interactions that might be detrimental to native organisms. For birds …

Targeted, single‐species management and ecosystem‐based management are generally
considered disparate conservation approaches. In imperiled ecosystems, these approaches …

Riparian habitats in the western United States are imperiled, yet they support the highest
bird diversity in arid regions, making them a conservation priority. Riparian restoration efforts …

The effects of non-native plants on habitat use are well studied; however, whether
introduced plants negatively influence reproductive output of animal populations has …

Riparian ecosystems are vital components of aridlands within the southwestern United
States. Historically, surface flows influenced population dynamics of native riparian trees …
