<br><tt><font size=2>Hello List Subscribers<br>
I am a postgraduate researcher at the University of Gloucestershire, <br>
researching positive interactions between native and non-native species.<br>
I would be grateful for any information relating to research that has <br>
detected a positive association between native species/native <br>
biodiversity and the presence of a non-native species.<br>
I am looking for both published (peer-reviewed) research and unpublished
<br>
research - significant or non-significant results.<br>
<br>
Although I am interested in all research that has detected a positive <br>
association between native species/native biodiversity and the presence
<br>
of a non-native species.<br>
My interest in this subject stems from the fact that most research into
<br>
the impacts of established non-native species has understandably focused
<br>
on the negative effects of invasive species.<br>
The positive effects that some non-native species have on other <br>
non-native species are also relatively well reported.<br>
However, my primary objective, as it stands, is to identify and retrieve
<br>
all (or as many as I can) studies that have uncovered situations where
a <br>
non-native species has (potentially) had a positive (or partially <br>
positive) effect on a native<br>
species/native biodiversity (e.g. increases in abundance, density, <br>
growth, survival, fecundity and ideally, fitness).<br>
<br>
Thank you and regards<br>
Zelianne<br>
