Crabs Mediate Interactions between Native and Invasive Salt Marsh Plants: A Mesocosm Study
Soil disturbance has been widely recognized as an important factor influencing the structure and dynamics of plant communities. Although soil reworkers were shown to increase habitat complexity and raise the risk of plant invasion, their role in regulating the interactions between native and invasive species remains unclear. We proposed that crab activities, via improving soil nitrogen availabi...
متن کاملThe potential for indirect effects between co-flowering plants via shared pollinators depends on resource abundance, accessibility and relatedness.
Co-flowering plant species commonly share flower visitors, and thus have the potential to influence each other's pollination. In this study we analysed 750 quantitative plant-pollinator networks from 28 studies representing diverse biomes worldwide. We show that the potential for one plant species to influence another indirectly via shared pollinators was greater for plants whose resources were...

متن کاملLocal- Vs. Landscape-Scale Indirect Effects of an Invasive Weed on Native Plants
Insect-mediated indirect interactions between native plant species recently have been shown to be important determinants of plant performance in a number of ecological communities. However, the potential indirect effects of exotic plant invasion on native plant species are not well understood. We examined whether the presence or proximity of the targeted exotic weed, musk thistle, influences th...
متن کاملHerbivory alters competitive interactions between two invasive aquatic plants
We compared the effect of herbivory by two congeneric specialist weevils (Neochetina eichhorniae and Neochetina bruchi) on competition between their host Eichhornia crassipes and another floating aquatic plant (Pistia stratiotes) by experimentally manipulating plant densities, presence of either or both herbivore species, and nutrient levels. Measurements of E. crassipes yield per original plan...
