Negative Effects of an Introduced Bird Species on Growth and Survival in a Native Bird Community
Exploitative competition is a major determinant of community structure in natural assemblages [1, 2], but, introduced species are rarely competitors that lead to extinction of native species [3, 4]. Here we document strong community-wide competition from the Japanese white-eye (Zosterops japonicus) on native Hawaiian passerine birds. Introduced in 1929 [5], white-eye successfully invaded old-gr...

when caterpillars fed on fruit-bearing pepper plants. Here, although initially feeding on leaves, the beet armyworms soon moved into the maturing fruits (Figure 1C). Our results indicate that visiting honeybees provide plants with a totally unexpected advantage: bees flying around plants inhibit the feeding intensity of herbivorous caterpillars, resulting in a clear reduction of leaf damage. Th...
متن کاملInorganic chemical composition of native trees of the Atlantic Forest.
The Atlantic Forest with its exuberant vegetation of high level of biodiversity is classified as one hotspot of the world. Chemical composition of leaves from native trees and underlying soils was evaluated by INAA. The predominant species Euterpe edulis, Bathysa meridionalis, Hyeronima alchorneoides, Marlierea tomentosa, Gomidesia flagellaris, and Gomidesia spectabilis belonging to the diverse...
متن کاملNative plant diversity increases herbivory to non-natives.
There is often an inverse relationship between the diversity of a plant community and the invasibility of that community by non-native plants. Native herbivores that colonize novel plants may contribute to diversity-invasibility relationships by limiting the relative success of non-native plants. Here, we show that, in large collections of non-native oak trees at sites across the USA, non-nativ...
