Much of the invasive species literature confuses causes (mechanisms) & consequences (impacts) We introduce a comprehensive typology of 19 impact types across 6 levels of biological organisation (individuals to ecosystems) doi.org/10.1016/j.tr... #invasivespecies #ecology #ecologicalimpacts

Shuping Guan et al. investigated the relative contributions of #PlantTraits to the potential #EcologicalImpacts of #InvasivePlantSpecies. But the results showed that there was no correlation between invasiveness and impacts of invasive species on the #TibetanPlateau.

When elements of a #foodchain are lost, this can have #ecologicalimpacts with other species getting more abundant. N. Hammerschlag et al. (2025) report a sharp #decline in the #whiteshark population in #FalseBay, South Africa, possibly due to attacks by #orcas. This has implications for Cape fur seals and sevengill sharks.
