Invasive species research, explained
3 open-access invasive species studies, each with a flashcard deck and a quiz.
- Rat-free islands could rebuild seabirds and reefs
Eradicating invasive rats and restoring native vegetation on Chagos islands could multiply seabirds ~18-fold and raise reef-fish biomass via seabird-derived nitrogen.
- Suppressing invasive brown trout networks
Only metapopulation-wide, multi-life-stage suppression quickly drove invasive brown trout toward quasi-extinction.
- Barred owls and megafire hit native owls differently
Flammulated owls declined 71% in severe burns and doubled after barred owl removals; pygmy and great horned owls barely budged.
