Invasion in space and time: non‐native species richness and relative abundance respond to interannual variation in productivity and diversity (2004, background): “…many experimental studies use invader biomass (or some other measure of success) as a measure of community invasibility and find negative relationships between species diversity and invader success (Pickard 1984; Knops et al. 1999; Hector et al. 2001; Kennedy et al. 2002; Troumbis et al. 2002).”
The link between international trade and the global distribution of invasive alien species (2008, background): “relationship between specie richness and invasibilty is equivocal (Prieur-Richard et al. 2000; Kennedy et al. 2002; Levine et al. 2004; Eriksson et al. 2006).”
Microbial Biodiversity in Groundwater Ecosystems (2009, background): “be more resistant to species invasions (McGradySteed, Harris & Morin, 1997; Kennedy et al., 2002) and environmental perturbations (Botton et al.”
Plant invasion across space and time: factors affecting nonindigenous species success during four stages of invasion. (2007, background): “This latter scenario, along with growing recognition of the pace of global biodiversity loss, has given rise to dozens of studies examining the role of plant community diversity in determining invasibility (e.g. Knops et al., 1999; Levine, 2000; Naeem et al., 2000; Dukes, 2001; Hector et al., 2001; ”
Fish Invasions in the World's River Systems: When Natural Processes Are Blurred by Human Activities (2008, background): “This means that regional species-rich communities are not necessarily a barrier against the establishment of non-native species [17].”
Plant functional group identity and diversity determine biotic resistance to invasion by an exotic grass (2013, background): “…and this result is consistent with previous community-scale experimental studies on multiple invaders (Tilman 1997; Knops et al. 1999; Naeem et al. 2000; Hector et al. 2001; Dukes 2002; Kennedy et al. 2002; Frankow-Lindberg et al. 2009) and specifically against P. australis (Peter & Burdick 2010).”
Biological invasions in inland waters: an overview (2007, background): “…in the invasion literature since Elton (1958), i.e. that communities with high diversity and complexity are the least susceptible to invasion because of the strength of the community interactions (e.g. Lodge 1993, Levine and D’Antonio 1999, Kennedy et al. 2002, Shea and Chesson 2002).”
WEAK VS. STRONG INVADERS OF NATURAL PLANT COMMUNITIES: ASSESSING INVASIBILITY AND IMPACT (2005, background): “1 E-mail: yortega@fs.fed.us resident species diversity and invasibility (Levine 2000, Naeem et al. 2000, Kennedy et al. 2002, Troumbis et al. 2002), vs. observational studies and seed addition experiments conducted in natural systems, which generally show a positive relationship (Smith and Knapp…”
Potential range of the invasive fish rotan (Perccottus glenii) in the Holarctic (2011, background): “The richness of native communities might increase resistance to the invasion (Kennedy et al. 2002).”
Potential impacts of climate change and greenhouse gas emissions on Mediterranean marine ecosystems and cetaceans (2008, background): “Areas of high endemic biodiversity are likely to be less subject to non-indigenous species invasion (Kennedy et al., 2002; Stachowicz et al., 2002a; Duffy, 2003).”
Interaction of Plant Species Diversity on Grazing Behavior and Performance of Livestock Grazing Temperate Region Pastures (2007, background): “Greater plant diversity in grassland ecosystems may contribute to resistance to invasion by weeds and pests by using resources completely, leaving no space for weed species to become established and thrive (Tilman, 1997; Kennedy et al., 2002).”
Trophic Interaction Cycles in Tundra Ecosystems and the Impact of Climate Change (2005, background): “…webs (Roemer et al. 2002), and this applies 320 BioScience • April 2005 / Vol. 55 No. 4 perhaps especially to arctic food webs, which, because of their simplicity, may be more easily invaded (i.e., less resistant) and more affected by invasive species (i.e., less resilient) (Kennedy et al. 2002).”
