Abstract: When new plants are introduced into an environment, they can cause havoc for native species. For instance, American robins nesting in the alien honeysuckleLonicera maackiiare more likely to lose their young to predators, perhaps because their nests are closer to the ground. Another example, that of unwanted grasses invading golf courses, suggests that natural methods might be used to control exotic plants.
