Biological invasions of aquatic plants (ie, macrophytes) are a worldwide phenomenon, and
within the last 15 years researchers have started to focus on the influence of these species …

Biological invasions constitute a pervasive and growing threat to the biodiversity and
functioning of freshwater ecosystems. Macrophytes are key primary producers and …

Biological invasions are numerous in fresh waters around the world. At least hundreds of
freshwater species have been moved outside of their native ranges by vectors such as …

Aquatic macrophytes play an important role in structuring communities in aquatic
environments. These plants provide physical structure, increase habitat complexity and …

Plant invasion potentially alters ecosystem carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycles. However, the
overall direction and magnitude of such alterations are poorly quantified.• Here, 94 …

We summarized studies on the impacts and scale effects of negative (competition, predation,
parasitism, herbivory) and positive (mutualism, commensalism, indirect facilitation) species …

Free-living nematodes are well-recognized as an abundant and ubiquitous component of
benthic communities in inland waters. Compelling evidence from soil and marine …

When invasive species become integrated within a food web, they may have numerous
direct and indirect impacts on the native community by creating novel trophic links, and …

The introduction, establishment, and spread of invasive species in terrestrial and aquatic
environments is widely recognized as one of the most serious threats to the health …

Over the last five years next-generation sequencing has become a cost effective and
efficient method for identifying known and unknown microorganisms. Access to this …
