Ecology of invasive mosquitoes: effects on resident species and on human health

SA Juliano, L Philip Lounibos - Ecology letters, 2005 - Wiley Online Library
Investigations of biological invasions focus on patterns and processes that are related to
introduction, establishment, spread and impacts of introduced species. This review focuses …

Empirical evidence of type III functional responses and why it remains rare

G Kalinkat, BC Rall, SF Uiterwaal… - Frontiers in Ecology and …, 2023 - frontiersin.org

Advancing impact prediction and hypothesis testing in invasion ecology using a comparative functional response approach

JTA Dick, ME Alexander, JM Jeschke, A Ricciardi… - Biological …, 2014 - Springer
Invasion ecology urgently requires predictive methodologies that can forecast the ecological

Intraguild predation diminished in complex‐structured vegetation: implications for prey suppression

DL Finke, RF Denno - Ecology, 2002 - Wiley Online Library
Multiple‐predator limitation of prey populations may be mediated by both predator–predator
interactions and vegetation structure. Antagonistic interactions among predators, such as …

Desiccation and thermal tolerance of eggs and the coexistence of competing mosquitoes

SA Juliano, GF O'Meara, JR Morrill, MM Cutwa - Oecologia, 2002 - Springer
We tested the hypothesis that differences in temperature and desiccation tolerances of eggs
of the container-dwelling mosquitoes Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti influence …

A consumer–resource approach to the density‐dependent population dynamics of mutualism

JN Holland, DL DeAngelis - Ecology, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
Like predation and competition, mutualism is now recognized as a consumer–resource (C–
R) interaction, including, in particular, bi‐directional (eg, coral, plant–mycorrhizae) and uni …

The functional response of parasitoids and its implications for biological control

V Fernández-arhex, JC Corley - Biocontrol Science and …, 2003 - Taylor & Francis
The parasitoid functional response is regarded as central to host–parasitoid dynamics. If so,
then the shape of this response may be related to parasitoid success in biological control …
