Does the biogeographic origin of species matter? Ecological effects of native and non‐native species and the use of origin to guide management (2016, background): “dance to anthropogenic disturbances in particular (Gaston et al. 2003; Moles et al. 2012; Jauni, Gripenberg & Ramula 2015).”
General hypotheses in invasion ecology (2014, background): “many invasion hypotheses are empirically not well supported (see above and Jeschke et al., 2012a; Moles et al., 2012).”
Impacts of invasive biota in forest ecosystems in an aboveground–belowground context (2017, background): “…and are driven by a range of environmental factors such as disturbance regimes and soil fertility (Davis et al. 2000; MacDougall and Turkington 2005; Moles et al. 2012), however most studies of invader impacts do not include explicit consideration of the factors that promote invasions themselves.”
Niche dimensionality links biodiversity and invasibility of microbial communities (2013, unknown): “factor driving community invasibility (Moles et al. 2012).”
Are urban systems beneficial, detrimental, or indifferent for biological invasion? (2017, background): “Negative impacts from invasive NIS include altering ecosystem functioning reducing the population sizes of other species, and causing local extinctions (Levine et al. 2003; Moles et al. 2012; Pyšek et al. 2017).”
Species and environmental characteristics point to flow regulation and drought as drivers of riparian plant invasion (2014, background): “In line with predictions of Moles et al. (2012), it seems most likely that changes in disturbance regimes (i.e. flooding regimes), rather than disturbance per se, drives invasion in this system.”
Support for major hypotheses in invasion biology is uneven and declining (2012, background): “Some overviews of the level of support for individual hypotheses exist (e.g. Jeschke and Strayer 2005; Liu and Stiling 2006; Levine et al. 2004; Moles et al. 2012), but to our knowledge, no comparative evaluation of multiple major hypotheses across the entire range of taxonomic groups of invading…”
Identifying the role of soil microbes in plant invasions (2016, background): “…as an important prerequisite for invasion (Ewel 1986; Rejm anek, Robinson & Rejm ankov a 1989; Hobbs & Huenneke 1992; Williamson 1996) and has been coined ‘one of the most commonly accepted truisms in the field of invasion ecology’ (Lockwood, Hoopes & Marchetti 2013; but see Moles et al. 2012).”
