The concept of native range in invasion biology is difficult to define since, in many cases, this
type of range is unknown and cannot be determined. We investigate the uncertainties …

Aim Identifying suitable areas for invasive species establishment is of critical importance for
their early detection and rapid eradication. However, our ability to detect suitable areas is …

Impacts of invasive species may manifest most strongly if these organisms are highly distinct
functionally from the native species they often replace. Yet, should we expect functional …

Parasites directly and indirectly influence the important interactions among hosts such as
competition and predation through modifications of behaviour, reproduction and survival …

Parasites can change the behaviour of their hosts, but little attention has been given to the
relationship between parasite effects on host behaviour and colouration. The correlation …

The freshwater crayfish, Cherax quadricarinatus, has been introduced across many tropical
regions globally. This popular aquarium and aquaculture species, similar to many other non …

Abstract Effects of parasites on individual hosts can eventually translate to impacts on host
communities. In particular, parasitism can differentially affect host fitness among sympatric …

Chemical communication within an aquatic environment creates an intricate signaling web
that provides species with information about their surroundings. Signaling molecules, like …

Parasites can alter communities by reducing densities of keystone hosts, but few studies
have examined how trait‐mediated indirect effects of parasites can alter ecological …

Invasive species often experience phenotypic change during the invasion process. For
example, many invasive species are larger in their non‐native than native ranges, but some …
