Acoustic Competition Between Native and Invasive Species
Invasive species can wreak havoc on ecosystems. Most research has focused on how introduced species negatively impact biodiversity through predation, competition for food and shelter, and disease transmission. But invasives can harm native species in a less obvious way: edging them out of their acoustic space.Read my latest PLOS Ecology blog post about how invasive treefrogs are making native treefrogs change their tunes: Invasive Species Compete with Native Species for Room to be Heard.
