I thought this request for info, which was posted over the Alien Plant 
Working Group listserve, might be of interest to people on this list, too. 
Please respond to Z. Yeates (cc'd on this message). 

Thank you,
Patricia

Subject
[APWG] Positive interactions between native and non-native species






Hello List Subscribers
I am a postgraduate researcher at the University of Gloucestershire, 
researching positive interactions between native and non-native species.
I would be grateful for any information relating to research that has 
detected a positive association between native species/native 
biodiversity and the presence of a non-native species.
I am looking for both published (peer-reviewed) research and unpublished 
research - significant or non-significant results.

Although I am interested in all research that has detected a positive 
association between native species/native biodiversity and the presence 
of a non-native species.
My interest in this subject stems from the fact that most research into 
the impacts of established non-native species has understandably focused 
on the negative effects of invasive species.
The positive effects that some non-native species have on other 
non-native species are also relatively well reported.
However, my primary objective, as it stands, is to identify and retrieve 
all (or as many as I can) studies that have uncovered situations where a 
non-native species has (potentially) had a positive (or partially 
positive) effect on a native
species/native biodiversity (e.g. increases in abundance, density, 
growth, survival, fecundity and ideally, fitness).

Thank you and regards
Zelianne
