- Coupling phenotypic changes to extinction and survival in an endemic prey community threatened by an invasive snake.
Piquet JC, Maestresalas B, López-Darias M · Scientific reports · 2022-10 · open access
Introduction Ecological novelty produced by invasive predators is leading to the reconfiguration of predator–prey systems worldwide, with major consequences for prey population dynamics, and evolution –. Impacts upon native prey depend on the strength of predation pressure, as well as on prey…
- Snakes on the plains: The impacts of habitat structure on snake communities in Illinois grasslands
Alex Glass, Michael W. Eichholz · Wildlife Society Bulletin · 2022-09 · open access
Abstract Snakes are an integral component of grassland ecosystems, though their occurrence in high densities is often discouraged because of their role as nest predators of declining grassland birds. The effects of habitat structure on snake communities in grasslands remains poorly understood,…
- Sarcocystis sp. infection (Apicomplexa: Sarcocystidae) in invasive California kingsnake Lampropeltis californiae (Serpentes: Colubridae) in Gran Canaria.
Santana-Hernández KM, Javorská K, Rodríguez-Ponce E et al. · Parasitology · 2022-06 · open access
Invasive species pose a threat not only to biodiversity because they displace or compete with native fauna, but also because of the pathogens they can host. The Canary Islands are an Atlantic biodiversity hotspot threatened by increasing numbers of invasive species, including the California…

- Reproductive plasticity as an advantage of snakes during island invasion
Samuel Fisher, Robert Nathan Fisher, Sophie E. Alcaraz et al. · Conservation Science and Practice · 2021-10 · open access
Abstract Most invasive species are not studied during their initial colonization of ecosystems to which they were recently introduced. Rather, research is typically performed after invasive species are well established and causing harm to the native biodiversity. Thus, novel adaptations of invasive…

Introduction Gran Canaria is an Atlantic island of the Canarian archipelago (27°57′31″N, 15°35′33″W), which belongs to Spanish Macaronesia. The island has a land area of just 1560 km 2 but reaches 1956 m at the highest point and contains a very diverse ecosystem for its relatively small size.…
