Responses to the black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) invasion differ between habitat specialists and generalists in central European forest birds
Original language description
Biological invasions are among the most important threats to global biodiversity. However, bird species differ in their ability to resist the invasions, and it is thus important to investigate which species' traits account for their sensitivity to the invasions' consequences. Here we focused on predictors of such sensitivity by using central European birds in oak forests invaded by the exotic black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia). We performed a detailed mapping of bird occurrence on plots located in thenative oak stands and the invaded stands, respectively, controlling for stands' age. Using multivariate analysis, we quantified bird species' reliance on the native versus invaded forest stands. In the next step, we tested the hypotheses explaining species' position along this gradient. We predicted that the species more closely associated with the invaded forest stands will be (1) habitat generalists and (2) species with fast life history strategies.
