Patterns of Seed Dispersal and Dispersal Failure in a Hawaiian Dry Forest Having Only Introduced Birds (2010, background): “…birds that disperse seeds may contribute to this lack of seedling recruitment (Loiselle & Blake 2002, Kirika et al. 2008), and disruptions to mutualisms can negatively affect the maintenance of plant populations (Willson & Traveset 2000, Traveset & Richardson 2006, Rodŕıguez-Cabal et al. 2007).”
The little things that run the world revisited: a review of ant-mediated ecosystem services and disservices (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) (2012, background): “For example, in New Caledonia, the invasive ant Wasmannia auropunctata is threatening populations of geckos that pollinate and disperse several plant species (TRAVESET & RICHARDSON 2006).”
Shading by invasive shrub reduces seed production and pollinator services in a native herb (2010, background): “…that produce copious floral resources can change pollinator behavior and therefore subsequent pollination services to native plants (Ghazoul 2002; Bjerknes et al. 2007; Goodell 2008), and our understanding of mechanisms for these types of interactions is insufficient (Traveset and Richardson 2006).”
A review on the effects of alien rodents in the Balearic (Western Mediterranean Sea) and Canary Islands (Eastern Atlantic Ocean) (2009, background): “Disruptions of plant–animal mutualisms (mainly pollination and seed dispersal) due partly or totally to alien rodents have also been documented, mainly from some islands like New Zealand and other South Pacific oceanic islands (review in Traveset and Richardson 2006).”
Invasive rodents on islands: integrating historical and contemporary ecology (2009, background): “In addition to direct impacts, some of these species of rodents are affecting plant populations and communities indirectly by altering pollination and seed dispersal mutualisms (see also Traveset and Richardson 2006).”
Impact of landscape alteration and invasions on pollinators: a meta‐analysis (2012, background): “Their presence can affect pollinators in different ways depending on the type of alien organism, which can be another pollinator, an herbivore, a pollinator’s predator or parasite, or an animal-pollinated plant (Traveset & Richardson 2006).”
Successful invaders co-opt pollinators of native flora and accumulate insect pollinators with increasing residence time. (2011, positive): “Recent reviews suggest that availability of pollinators in general does not represent an important constraint to successful invasion of alien plants because they are able to use services of local generalist pollinators (Richardson et al. 2000a, Traveset and Richardson 2006).”
Global patterns of mainland and insular pollination networks (2016, background): “…interactions, have been documented in fragmented landscapes on mainland ecosystems (Aizen et al., 2012) and are likely to occur in oceanic islands as well, where super-generalist pollinators are a prevalent phenomenon (e.g. Olesen et al., 2002, Traveset & Richardson 2006, Traveset et al., 2013).”
An overview of invasive plants in Brazil. (2011, background): “Invasive alien species are one of the most severe threats to the conservation of native species, communities and ecosystems (Vitousek et al. 1996, Wilcove et al. 1998, Traveset & Richardson 2006) and require urgent attention in many parts of the world (Mack et al. 2000).”
Pollen transfer from invasive Carpobrotus spp. to natives - A study of pollinator behaviour and reproduction success (2008, background): “More studies of indirect effects and the altering of ecological relationships such as breaking of native mutualisms are needed for further understanding of the processes operating in invaded systems (Traveset and Richardson, 2006; White et al., 2006).”
A global assessment of invasive plant impacts on resident species, communities and ecosystems: the interaction of impact measures, invading species' traits and environment (2012, background): “Other impacts include effects on the genetic variation of native populations via hybridization (Vilà et al., 2000), and disruptions of mutualistic networks such as pollination and dispersal (Traveset & Richardson, 2006; Schweiger et al., 2010).”
Conservation and restoration of plant–animal mutualisms on oceanic islands (2010, background): “…per se that scientists, conservationists, and restoration managers should be most concerned about, but rather the interactions between organisms that breathe life into ecosystems (e.g. Janzen, 1974; Bond, 1994; Buchmann and Nabhan, 1996; Kearns et al., 1998; Traveset and Richardson, 2006).”
Management of plant invasions mediated by frugivore interactions (2006, neutral): “…literature is largely silent about the possibility of making such predictions, because research into plant invasions has mainly focused on the success of the invader population, rather than on multiple interacting species (Gosper, Stansbury & Vivian-Smith 2005; but see Traveset & Richardson 2006).”
