Differentiating successful and failed molluscan invaders in estuarine ecosystems
Despite mounting evidence of invasive species’ impacts on the environment and society, our ability to predict invasion establishment, spread, and impact are inadequate. Efforts to explain and predict invasion outcomes have been limited primarily to terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems. Invasions are also common in coastal marine ecosystems, yet to date predictive marine invasion models are abs...
متن کاملUnraveling the life history of successful invaders.
Despite considerable current interest in biological invasions, the common life-history characteristics of successful invaders remain elusive. The widely held hypothesis that successful invaders have high reproductive rates has received little empirical support; however, alternative possibilities are seldom considered. Combining a global comparative analysis of avian introductions (>2700 events)...

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 ...
متن کاملEstuarine Research Federation Biocomplexity in Responses of Estuarine Ecosystems to Climate Variability and Change
The purpose of this working paper is to provide brief background on climatic variability and changes that may be anticipated over the 21 century which may affect estuarine ecosystems, with emphasis on the United States. Perspectives on climate change are distilled from a number of international, national and regional assessments of the consequences of climate variability and change that have be...
متن کاملQueries without Clicks: Successful or Failed Searches?
The critical aspect in the evaluation of retrieval effectiveness is the satisfaction of the user needs in the retrieved results. Current efforts for evaluating retrieval performance rely either on explicit user feedback or on the analysis of the search transaction logs in order to elicit the user needs and thus be able to infer their satisfaction in the retrieved results. In this paper, we prop...
