Impact ID | 8039 |
Impact Type | Predation/Herbivory |
Study Type | Observational |
Study Location | Field |
Impact Description | As native plants become displaced by ornamental jewelweed (Impatiens glandulifera), specialized herbivorous insects leave the area and subsequently lead to a shift in the predatory insect community (e.g., spiders). There is the potential for further trophic shifts, as well. |
