“…The effects of invasive plants differ among sites. Corlett (2010) reported that continental islands like Hong Kong Island have many invasive plants, but few have invaded closed forests. However, forests on oceanic islands appear to be susceptible to invasive plants.…”

The increase of alien invasive plants in biological reserves is a major threat to biodiversity in tropical areas. We surveyed invasive angiosperms in two national parks in West Java and estimated their potential effects on declining biodiversity. In 2010 and 2011, we surveyed three trails in Mt. Halimun-Salak National Park (HSNP) and three trails in Mt. Gede-Pangrango National Park (GPNP). At 50-m intervals along trails from the park border to the interior, we recorded species name and coverage of invasive plants, trail width, and degree of vegetation cover of all species. Excluding members of Poaceae and Cyperaceae, 31 invasive species were found: 19 along 13.75 km of trails in HSNP and 29 along 11.45 km of trails in GPNP. The number of species per 500 m was 10.7 in HSNP and 8.6 in GPNP. All trails in HSNP and the nearest trail in GPNP had similar species compositions. Invasive plants along these trails may have the same origin: Bogor and Jakarta. The other two trails in GPNP seemed to be affected independently by invasion from Cibodas Botanic Garden and orchards, respectively. The number of invasive species along trails was most significantly correlated with elevation, followed by distance from the park border, and trail width. The significant relationship with distance from the border highlights that a nature reserve with the same area but a longer border has a higher risk of invasion than one with a shorter border.

“…Introduced species have negatively impacted native species, particularly on oceanic islands that have never been connected to a continental landmass (Elton 1958;Reaser et al 2007;Corlett 2010). Native species are considered to have less highly evolved defensive, competitive, and reproductive abilities on oceanic islands that originally lacked strong predators, herbivores, and competitors (Carlquist 1974;Vermeij 1991;Paulay 1994).…”

Impacts of introduced species on the biota of an oceanic archipelago: the relative importance of competitive and trophic interactions

Introduced species negatively impact native species through competitive and trophic interactions, particularly on oceanic islands that have never been connected to any continental landmass. However, there are few studies on the relative importance of competitive interactions (resource competition with introduced species) and trophic interactions (predation or herbivory by introduced species) with respect to the negative impacts on native organisms on oceanic islands. A literature review on introduced and native species of the oceanic Ogasawara (Bonin) Islands in the western Pacific Ocean indicated that many native species (e.g., bees, beetles, damselflies, butterflies, land snails, birds, and plants) have been negatively impacted by introduced predators and herbivores (e.g., lizards, rats, flatworms, and goats). Several native plants and bees have been negatively affected by introduced competitors. However, the native species that have competed with introduced species have also suffered from either intense herbivory or predation by other introduced species. Thus, introduced predators and herbivores have had greater impacts on native species than introduced competitors in the Ogasawara Islands.

“…At planet scale the human contacts have been associated with the introduction of a large number of species, in principal plants [1][2][3][4][5][6]. In the West Indies, this phenomenon is and has been very active since the Native American era [7].…”
