Biology and control of Amur honeysuckle
Amur honeysuckle (Lonicera maackii) is an invasive weed species that is present in a majority of the United States. This weed has the ability to displace native plant species and develop monocultures in undisturbed areas. Little is known about the biology and control options for this plant. The …

Impacts of Deer and Honeysuckle on the Endangered Trillium Reliquum and Its Associated Plant Community
… It is threatened by the encroachment of Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica) and white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) herbivory. I selected five sites in Georgia to examine the impacts of deer and honeysuckle on T. reliquum across its Georgia range. Four treatment combinations were …

Effects of non-native woody plant species on shrubland birds of conservation concern
… in Illinois (autumn olive (Elaeagnus umbellata), honeysuckle (Lonicera spp.) and multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora)), influenced birds’ physiological health and condition. I found that non-native plant species, specifically multiflora rose, negatively associated with shrubland bird occupancy …

Mammal Damage and Movements of Deer Mice in South Dakota Shelterbelts
… ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica Marsh.), tatarian honeysuckle (Lonicera tatarica L. ),, and common lilac (Syringa vulgaris L.) were the most common tree species encountered in this study. Of the trees examined, 398 (8. 9%) sustained animal damage over the winter. Dogwood (Cornus stolonifera …

Non-Native Leaf Litter Modifies Algal Resources with Effects on Tadpole Growth
… of tadpoles. Early in the experiment, Japanese honeysuckle and Chinese privet decreased periphyton N:P ratios and stimulated tadpole growth compared to native leaf litters. However, tadpole mortality in Japanese honeysuckle was high over winter compared to other leaf litters. Different litter …

Tocopherol (vitamin E) content in invasive browse species on underutilized Appalachian farmland
… olive (Elaeagnus umbellata Thunb.), and Morrow's honeysuckle (Lonicera morowii Gray) in replicated plots at a site in southern West Virginia during the 1999 growing season. Alpha-, beta-, gamma-, and delta-tocopherol were extracted with hexane, separated by high performance liquid chromatography …

Ecosystem Functional Consequences of Top Predator Mortality Due to the Invasive Shrub, Lonicera maackii
<p>Lonicera maackii (Amur Honeysuckle) is an invasive woody plant species that is present across the United States. Previous studies have assessed the biotic effects of honeysuckle, as well as abiotic effects such as changes in soil chemistry, ground level light, and forest floor temperature. …

Direct and indirect effects of native and invasive plants on mosquito ecology
… an invasive plant (Lonicera maackii, Amur honeysuckle) yielded high oviposition and adult emergence rates, while in contrast, a native plant (Rubus allegheniensis, common blackberry) was identified to function as an ecological trap for Cx. pipiens, attracting gravid females to oviposit and …

Powdery Mildew (Erysiphe cruciferarum) Affects the Allelopathic and Competitive Abilities of Invasive Garlic Mustard (Alliaria petiolata)
Garlic mustard (Alliaria petiolata) has been previously found to be significantly affected negatively by powdery mildew (Erysiphe cruciferarum). While we could not significantly corroborate those findings we did find evidence that E. cruciferarum does inhibit A. petiolata’s allelopathic and …
