Resolving Darwin’s naturalization conundrum: a quest for evidence (2010, background): “, 2003, 2004), interactions with natural enemies such as herbivores or pathogens (Keane & Crawley, 2002; Hawkes, 2007) and mutualistic interactions such as with pollinators, seed dispersers or mycorrhizas (Klironomos, 2002; Memmot & Waser, 2002; Milton et al., 2007; Vilà et al., 2009).”
Invasive Species, Environmental Change and Management, and Health (2010, background): “For example, in arid savannas in South Africa, replacement of native Acacia species by invasive alien Prosopis species changes habitat structure, notably the canopy architecture and availability of perches for frugivorous birds (79), thus altering the prevailing bird-mediated shrub nucleation proces”
