A framework to study the context-dependent impacts of marine invasions (2011, result): “These findings indirectly support recent large-scale observations that predatory invaders across ecosystems and biomes have larger detrimental impacts compared to nonpredatory invaders (Davis, 2003; Sax et al., 2007).”
Increasing southern invasion enhances congruence between endemic and exotic Mediterranean fish fauna (2009, background): “Davis 2003 ). Despite the fact that such a link has not been demonstrated, there is sufficient evidence to warrant the claim that exotic invasion can, at the very least, reduce the abundance of native species, alter disturbance regimes and basic ecosystem processes, impose large economic costs, and ”
GRASSLAND DIVERSITY AND PRODUCTIVITY: THE INTERPLAY OF RESOURCE AVAILABILITY AND PROPAGULE POOLS (2004, background): “Although much discussion has focused on the potential consequences of species loss for ecosystem function, recent work indicates that regional species pools may be increasing in many locations as a result of human introductions of species (Davis 2003, Sax and Gaines 2003).”
Adaptive Radiation, Ecological Opportunity, and Evolutionary Determinism (2010, background): “…from introduced species rarely causes the extinction of native species throughout their range (as opposed to local extinctions of some populations of a species); by contrast, introduced predators and pathogens are responsible for many extinctions of native species (Davis 2003; Sax et al. 2007).”
Impacts of Invasive Species on Food Webs: A Review of Empirical Data (2017, background): “Complete extinction of native species as a consequence of competition is, however, relatively rare (Bruno et al., 2005; Davis, 2003; Gurevitch and Padilla, 2004).”
Destruction without extinction: long‐term impacts of an invasive tree species on Galápagos highland vegetation (2009, background): “These findings add to the evidence that native species extinctions have not so far been caused solely by competition with introduced plants (Davis 2003; Sax & Gaines 2008).”
Integrating the Study of Non-native Plant Invasions across Spatial Scales (2006, background): “At local scales, the demand for resources by non-native plants limits the resources available for the native species, reducing the growth, reproductive outcome and population size of native species ( Davis 2003 ).”
The invasion paradox: reconciling pattern and process in species invasions. (2007, background): “Global species extinctions attributed to invasive species have been from invasions by predators, parasites, or diseases and susceptible native prey; few if any known examples have been directly linked to competitive exclusion (Davis 2003, Gurevitch and Padilla 2004).”
Tree invasion in naturally treeless environments: impacts of quinine (Cinchona pubescens) trees on native vegetation in Galápagos. (2007, background): “Biological invasions have increasingly been recognized as one of the greatest threats to biodiversity (Mack et al., 2000; Davis, 2003) especially on islands (Elton, 1958; Loope and MuellerDombois, 1989).”
Invasive species: “back-seat drivers” of ecosystem change? (2012, unknown): “…concern about the invasion of natural areas by introduced species (Pimentel et al. 2005; Wilcove et al. 1998), there is ongoing debate over the role played by invasive plants in causing declines and extinctions of native plant species (Davis 2003; Gurevitch and Padilla 2004; Sax and Gaines 2008).”
Non-indigenous ungulates as a threat to biodiversity (2009, background): “However, Davis (2003) highlighted the fact that little evidence exists for nonindigenous species causing extinctions of indigenous plant species through competition for resources.”
Invasive Exotic Plants in the Tropical Pacific Islands: Patterns of Diversity (2009, background): “In contrast Davis (2003) and Gurevitch and Padilla (2004) argue that evidence of competition from invaders is equivocal and not likely to be the prime cause of species extinctions; rather habitat loss and intertrophic interactions, such as rat depredation (Athens 1997, Hunt 2006) are seen to have…”
