Overstorey tree species regulate colonization by native and exotic plants: a source of positive relationships between understorey diversity and invasibility (2008, background): “Indeed, if all species currently in the plots have ‘invaded’ over time (i.e. colonized), then the more species-rich plots are by definition more invasible (Davis, 2005).”
Plant invasion across space and time: factors affecting nonindigenous species success during four stages of invasion. (2007, unknown): “3; Davis et al ., 2005; Smith & Shurin, 2006).”
A hierarchical framework for integrating invasibility experiments incorporating different factors and spatial scales (2009, background): “A second application is to improve our general understanding of mechanisms that determine invasibility ( Davis 2005 ).”
Animal trade and non‐indigenous species introduction: the world‐wide spread of squirrels (2009, background): “Davis et al. (2005) suggested that invasibility is the more fundamental essence of a community and a major driver of diversity; according to these authors, diversity does not give rise to invasibility, but rather emerges from it.”
