We review empirical studies on how bioinvasions alter food webs and how a food-web
perspective may change their prediction and management. Predation is found to underlie …

Aim Predators often have important roles in structuring ecosystems via their effects on each
other and on prey populations. However, these effects may be altered in the presence of …

Cats are generalist predators that have been widely introduced to the world's~ 179 000
islands. Once introduced to islands, cats prey on a variety of native species many of which …

A recent trend in invasion ecology relates the success of non‐indigenous species (NIS) to
reduced control by enemies such as pathogens, parasites and predators (ie the enemy …

Eradications of invasive species often have striking positive effects on native biota. However,
recent research has shown that species removal in isolation can also result in unexpected …

The invasion of ecosystems by exotic species is currently viewed as one of the most
important sources of biodiversity loss. The largest part of this loss occurs on islands, where …

It is well established that nonnative species are a key driver of global environmental change,
but much less is known about the underlying drivers of nonnative species outbreaks …

Invasion ecology has been criticised for its lack of general principles. To explore this
criticism, we conducted a meta-analysis that examined characteristics of invasiveness (ie the …

To understand modern principles of sustainable management and the conservation of
wildlife species requires intimate knowledge about demography, animal behavior, and …

Feral cats are among the most damaging invasive species worldwide, and are implicated in
many extinctions, especially in Australia, New Zealand and other islands. Understanding …
