Ecological correlates of invasion by Arundo donax in three southern California riparian habitats (2008, background): “In some cases, the negative effects of community properties on invaders may not be strong enough to prevent initial establishment, but can constrain the abundance of invaders once they have established (Levine et al. 2004).”
Natives adapting to invasive species: ecology, genes, and the sustainability of conservation (2007, background): “Nonindigenous organisms may become established in disturbed habitats by accessing resources left unused because resident taxa are reduced (Fargione and Tilman 2005; Levine et al. 2004), or because they are better adapted to disturbed habitats than are residents (e.”
Limiting similarity between invaders and dominant species in herbaceous plant communities? (2007, background): “Managing community composition may slow invasions (Bakker & Wilson 2004), but other factors, such as enemy-release or below-ground interactions, may be more important for controlling invasive species (Callaway et al. 2004; Levine et al. 2004).”
Progress toward understanding the ecological impacts of nonnative species (2013, background): “Biotic resistance may play a greater role in reducing impact than in preventing the establishment of an invader (Levine et al. 2004).”
Ain't no mountain high enough: plant invasions reaching new elevations (2009, background): “…(1) (pre-)adaptation of non-native species to abiotic conditions (eg Daehler 2003), (2) disturbances (espe- cially anthropogenic disturbances; eg Davis et al. 2000), (3) low biotic resistance of native communities (eg Levine et al. 2004), and (4) high propagule pressure (eg Colautti et al. 2006).”
The Ecology and Evolution of Alien Plants (2018, positive): “Although even the most diverse communities cannot resist invasions completely, there is strong support for the diversity-invasibility hypothesis (Levine et al. 2004).”
Niche conservatism in non‐native birds in Europe: niche unfilling rather than niche expansion (2013, background): “Third, species-rich habitats can, through efficient resource preemption or high predation pressure, prevent or limit the establishment of non-native species (Levine et al., 2004).”
Impacts of Dreissena invasions on benthic macroinvertebrate communities: a meta‐analysis (2007, background): “Despite its promising potential, meta-analysis has only just begun to be applied to study invasions (Levine et al., 2004; Agrawal et al., 2005; Parker et al., 2006), and has been used primarily to address questions about species establishment rather than the ecological consequences of invasion (but…”
Plant invasion across space and time: factors affecting nonindigenous species success during four stages of invasion. (2007, background): “Plant–plant interactions: competition (–), novel weapons (–), and facilitation (+) Competition is likely the best studied of the biotic filters of invasion, although this filter alone appears unlikely to fully exclude invasive plant species (Levine et al., 2004).”
Arbuscular Mycorrhizas: Drivers or Passengers of Alien Plant Invasion (2009, background): “A meta-analysis of the several relevant studies by Levine et al. (2004) pointed out that soil microbes, particularly mycorrhizal mutualists, play a critical role in determining patterns of abundance and invasiveness of certain species.”
The invasion paradox: reconciling pattern and process in species invasions. (2007, background): “…have focused on the role of biotic resistance, and thus fine-scale native–exotic richness processes (Levine and D’Antonio 1999, Hector et al. 2001, Levine et al. 2004), while relatively few have focused exclusively on large-scale processes driving the positive half of the paradox (Davies et al.…”
Towards a predictive framework for biocrust mediation of plant performance: A meta‐analysis (2019, background): “Biotic interactions can strongly influence plant community assembly outcomes (Boulangeat et al., 2012; HilleRisLambers et al., 2012; Levine et al., 2004; Lortie et al., 2004).”
Support for major hypotheses in invasion biology is uneven and declining (2012, background): “Meta-analyses exist on the biotic resistance and enemy release hypotheses, but to our knowledge only for exotic plants (Liu and Stiling 2006; Levine et al. 2004).”
