[MAIPC] Literature on impacts of invasive plants on game wildlife?

[Susan Gitlin]

Rick, can you by any chance point to specific studies that Dr. Tallamy has
done?  I am aware of his work on the relationship between native plants and
Lepidoptera (whose caterpillars are eaten by birds), but I'm not aware of
his work on the impacts of invasive plants on birds.  Thank you!
