Exotic pediculosis and hair-loss syndrome in deer (Odocoileus hemionus) populations in California.
Infestation with nonnative, "exotic" lice was first noted in Washington black-tailed deer (Odocoileus hemionus columbianus) in 1994 and has since then spread throughout the western United States. In California, infestation with the exotic louse Damalinia (Cervicola) sp. was first detected in black-tailed deer from northern California in 2004, and, in 2009, the exotic louse species Bovicola tibi...
متن کاملStability of exotic annual grasses following restoration efforts in southern California coastal sage scrub
1. Restoration of semi-arid shrub ecosystems often requires control of invasive grasses but the effects of these grass-control treatments on native and exotic forbs have not been investigated adequately to assess long-term stability. In southern California, coastal sage scrub (CSS) vegetation is one semi-arid shrub community that has been invaded extensively by both exotic grasses and exotic fo...
متن کاملIslands, Exotic Herbivores, and Invasive Plants: Their Roles in Coastal California Restoration
The Pacific islands off southern California, U.S.A. and Baja California, Mexico hold potential for the conservation and restoration of California Mediterranean coastal ecosystems. However, the presence of exotic herbivores and invasive plants pose threats to these systems. Here, we use introduced herbivore removal as a large-scale experimental manipulation to examine the importance of topdown a...
متن کاملPhylogenetic patterns differ for native and exotic plant communities across a richness gradient in Northern California
The assembly of local communities is the result of the tension between local, often negative, and possibly deterministic interactions, and larger-scale environmental or dispersal constraints or stochastic events (Berlow, 1997; Levine, 2000; Lovette & Hochachka, 2006). Larger-scale environmental conditions and dispersal limitation filter a larger pool of potential colonists into one that include...
متن کاملMicrosatellite loci for dreissenid mussels (Mollusca: Bivalvia: Dreissenidae) and relatives: markers for assessing exotic and native populations.
We developed and tested 14 new polymorphic microsatellite loci for dreissenid mussels, including the two species that have invaded many freshwater habitats in Eurasia and North America, where they cause serious industrial fouling damage and ecological alterations. These new loci will aid our understanding of their genetic patterns in invasive populations as well as throughout their native Ponto...
