• Traits Associated with Invasiveness in Alien Plants: Where Do we Stand? (2008, background): “(Collingham et al. 2000; Lloret et al. 2004; Pyšek and Hulme 2005), and the effect of a given trait may differ at various scales (Hamilton et al.”
• Life‐history correlates of plant invasiveness at regional and continental scales (2005, background): “Indeed, it has been suggested that studies at a single spatial scale are unlikely to discern the drivers of invasion patterns (Collingham et al. 2000; Lloret et al. 2004).”
• Invasive alien plants in China: role of clonality and geographical origin (2006, background): “The geographical origin of alien species may influence their invasiveness in new areas (Reichard 2001; Lloret et al. 2004).”
• The alien flora of Greece: taxonomy, life traits and habitat preferences (2010, background): “Species with structures that favour wind and animal dispersal have been also found to show better regional and local invasion success in studies of Mediterranean islands (Lloret et al. 2004).”
• Biological flora of Central Europe: Ailanthus altissima (Mill.) Swingle (2007, background): “Ailanthus is common on Mediterranean islands (Lloret et al., 2004; Vila et al., 2006), and on Crete, its distribution is linked to the main transport network of major roads (Hulme, 2004).”
• Spatio-temporal dynamics of plant invasions: Linking pattern to process (2005, background): “For Mediterranean islands, wind-dispersed species tended to have a wider regional distribution than species dispersed by other means, but this trend was only occasionally found for local abundance on two islands (Lloret et al., 2004).”
• Local and regional assessments of the impacts of plant invaders on vegetation structure and soil properties of Mediterranean islands (2006, background): “The alien flora of Mediterranean islands comprises a small number of species present in many islands, while most are found on only one or a few islands (Lloret et al., 2004).”

(2010, background): “…et al. 1993), and small, long-lived and well-dispersed seeds are characteristic of plants adapted for rapid colonization of disturbed habitats, which makes them likely to become successful invaders (Rejmánek & Richardson 1996, Cadotte & Lovett-Doust 2001, Lloret et al. 2004, Hamilton et al. 2005).”
• Handbook of alien species in Europe (2009, background): “It is quite possible that recent introductions from outside Europe are likely to be more invasive than alien species that originate from another part of Europe (Lloret et al. 2004).”
• How strongly do interactions with closely‐related native species influence plant invasions? Darwin's naturalization hypothesis assessed on Mediterranean islands (2006, methodology): “All parameters were classified using information gleaned from the source floras (Lloret et al., 2004a,b).”
• Alien flora of Europe: species diversity, temporal trends, geographical patterns and research needs. (2008, background): “…floras from a number of regions make it possible to describe the extent of invasion in different parts of the world and reveal robust biogeographical patterns (Lonsdale 1999, Sax 2001, Lloret et al. 2004, Cadotte et al. 2006, Daehler 2006, Palmer 2006, Pyšek & Richardson 2006, Hulme et al. 2008b).”
• Species attributes and invasion success by alien plants on Mediterranean islands (2005, background): “The absence of significant patterns for each island may be due to the lower number of species considered at this level, as well as the stochastic effects associated with a single geographical area (Kolar & Lodge 2001; Lloret et al. 2004).”
• Exploring species attributes and site characteristics to assess plant invasions in Spain (2009, background): “In many regional analysis, wind dispersal has been found to be the most effective for invaders to spread (Lloret et al., 2003; Prinzing et al., 2002).”
