Response of native insect communities to invasive plants
Invasive plants can disrupt a range of trophic interactions in native communities. As a novel
resource they can affect the performance of native insect herbivores and their natural …

Do non‐native plants contribute to insect declines?
1. With evidence of significant global insect declines mounting, urgent calls to mitigate such
declines are also increasing. Efforts to reverse insect declines will only succeed, however, if …

Exotics as host plants of the California butterfly fauna
SD Graves, AM Shapiro - Biological conservation, 2003 - Elsevier
Introduced species may impact native species and communities in many ways. One which
has received relatively little attention is by serving as resources for natives, thereby altering …

Esca** an evolutionary trap: preference and performance of a native insect on an exotic invasive host
MS Keeler, FS Chew - Oecologia, 2008 - Springer
Exotic plants may act as population sinks or evolutionary traps for native herbivores. The
