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 …

Risk analysis of species invasions links biology and economics, is increasingly mandated by
international and national policies, and enables improved management of invasive species …

Different components of global environmental change are typically studied and managed
independently, although there is a growing recognition that multiple drivers often interact in …

Through literature review, we documented introductions of non-indigenous aquatic flora and
fauna into the Great Lakes basin since the early 1800s. We focused on the origin, probable …

Invasions frequently continue long after dispersal corridors have been well established. Six
interrelated processes (changes in donor regions, new donor regions, changes in recipient …

The biosphere contains only 0.014% of Earth's water, distributed among lakes (0.008%),
soils (0.005%), and the atmosphere, rivers, and biota (0.001%)(79). An additional 2.58% of …

The uniqueness of the current, global mass invasion by nonindigenous species has been
challenged recently by researchers who argue that modern rates and consequences of …

Climate change can occur over evolutionary and ecological time scales as a result of natural
and anthropogenic causes. Considerable attention has been focused in recent years on the …

The region studied includes the Laurentian Great Lakes and a diversity of smaller glacial
lakes, streams and wetlands south of permanent permafrost and towards the southern extent …

Climate change of the magnitude projected for the United States over the next 100 years will
cause significant changes to temperature regimes and precipitation patterns across the …
