The maintenance, evolution, and impacts of inducible morphological defenses in Mytilus edulis: Responses to multiple and invasive predators
… affected by (a) shared evolutionary history with invasive crab predators, (b) specificity of responses to multiple predators (singly and combined) with different foraging strategies, and (c) spatial and temporal variation in the expression of predator specific induced defenses in …

Ecology of feral cats Felis catus and their prey in relation to shrubland fire regimes
Invasive predators are major drivers of global biodiversity loss and their impacts may be worsened by other disturbances such as fire. I examined how the fire history of shrublands influences the ecology of feral cats Felis catus, dingoes Canis dingo and their prey species in Western Australia’s …

Impacts of non-native rainbow trout on stream food webs in the Cape Floristic Region, South Africa integrating evidence from surveys and experiments
Impacts of invasive predators may be influenced by whether or not native predators which function in the same way as the invasive predator exist in the recipient system. Impacts are expected to be strong in isolated systems lacking functionally similar predators because native species will be naïve …

Morphological, Genetic, and Ecological Insights into the Puerto Rican Tody: Investigating Variation Between and Within Dry Forest and Rainforest Populations
… from climate change, forest fragmentation, and invasive predators, making it a valuable system for understanding how environmental change shapes island birds. Incorporating morphology, population genetics, disease ecology, and breeding ecology, this research provides an integrated view of how …

IMPROVING THE ASSESSMENT OF SPREAD AND IMPACTS OF FRESHWATER INVASIVE SPECIES
… global freshwater biodiversity, Freshwater Invasive Species (FIS) play a key role. FIS can impact ecosystems through multiple pathways and in some areas they represent a major portion of freshwater biodiversity, both in terms of number of species and biomass. Moreover, their introduction …
