Neanderthals and Denisovans as biological invaders.
Humans stand out among our close primate relatives as effective biological invaders. Our recent history has included range expansions into remote and harsh geographic regions, and invasions by some populations into areas long occupied by others. Historians tend to frame these events as a story of technological and economic progress, while admitting that disease sometimes plays a central part—a ...

متن کاملRealistic species losses disproportionately reduce grassland resistance to biological invaders.
Consequences of progressive biodiversity declines depend on the functional roles of individual species and the order in which species are lost. Most studies of the biodiversity-ecosystem functioning relation tackle only the first of these factors. We used observed variation in grassland diversity to design an experimental test of how realistic species losses affect invasion resistance. Because ...
متن کاملDoes global change increase the success of biological invaders?
Biological invasions are gaining attention as a major threat to biodiversity and an important element of global change. Recent research indicates that other components of global change, such as increases in nitrogen deposition and atmospheric CO2 concentration, favor groups of species that share certain physiological or life history traits. New evidence suggests that many invasive species share...
متن کاملDistinctiveness magnifies the impact of biological invaders in aquatic ecosystems
Anthony Ricciardi* and Susanna K. Atkinson Redpath Museum and McGill School of Environment, McGill University, Montreal, Quebec, Canada H3A 2K6 *Correspondence: E-mail: [email protected] Abstract There exist few empirical rules for the effects of introduced species, reflecting the context-dependent nature of biological invasions. A promising approach toward developing generalizations is ...
