- Nature
- 11 May 2000
Human alteration of the global environment has triggered the sixth major extinction event in the history of life and caused widespread changes in the global distribution of organisms. These changes… Expand
Biodiversity management in the face of climate change: A review of 22 years of recommendations
- N. Heller, E. Zavaleta
- Business
- 2009
Abstract Climate change creates new challenges for biodiversity conservation. Species ranges and ecological dynamics are already responding to recent climate shifts, and current reserves will not… Expand
Viewing invasive species removal in a whole-ecosystem context
- E. Zavaleta, R. Hobbs, H. Mooney
- Biology
- 1 August 2001
Eradications of invasive species often have striking positive effects on native biota. However, recent research has shown that species removal in isolation can also result in unexpected changes to… Expand
Restoration through reassembly: plant traits and invasion resistance.
- Jennifer L. Funk, E. Cleland, K. Suding, E. Zavaleta
- Biology, Medicine
- Trends in ecology & evolution
- 1 December 2008
One of the greatest challenges for ecological restoration is to create or reassemble plant communities that are resistant to invasion by exotic species. We examine how concepts pertaining to the… Expand
High plant diversity is needed to maintain ecosystem services
- F. Isbell, V. Calcagno, +11 authors M. Loreau
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 8 September 2011
Biodiversity is rapidly declining worldwide, and there is consensus that this can decrease ecosystem functioning and services. It remains unclear, though, whether few or many of the species in an… Expand
Severity of the effects of invasive rats on seabirds: a global review.
- Holly P. Jones, B. Tershy, +4 authors G. Howald
- Biology, Medicine
- Conservation biology : the journal of the Society…
- 1 February 2008
Invasive rats are some of the largest contributors to seabird extinction and endangerment worldwide. We conducted a meta-analysis of studies on seabird-rat interactions to examine which seabird… Expand
Harnessing nature to help people adapt to climate change
- Holly P. Jones, David G. Hole, E. Zavaleta
- Political Science
- 1 July 2012
2. From sea-level rise to heightened hurricane activity, longer and more frequent droughts and floods, and acidification of the world’s oceans, lives and livelihoods will be increasingly challenged 3… Expand
A global review of the impacts of invasive cats on island endangered vertebrates
- F. M. Medina, Elsa Bonnaud, +7 authors Manuel Nogales
- Biology
- 1 November 2011
Cats are generalist predators that have been widely introduced to the world’s ~179 000 islands. Once introduced to islands, cats prey on a variety of native species many of which lack evolved… Expand

- M. Shaw, E. Zavaleta, N. Chiariello, E. Cleland, H. Mooney, C. Field
- Environmental Science, Medicine
- Science
- 6 December 2002
Simulated global changes, including warming, increased precipitation, and nitrogen deposition, alone and in concert, increased net primary production (NPP) in the third year of ecosystem-scale… Expand
Additive effects of simulated climate changes, elevated CO2, and nitrogen deposition on grassland diversity
- E. Zavaleta, M. Shaw, N. Chiariello, H. Mooney, C. Field
- Environmental Science, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences…
- 16 June 2003
Biodiversity responses to ongoing climate and atmospheric changes will affect both ecosystem processes and the delivery of ecosystem goods and services. Combined effects of co-occurring global… Expand
