Ecological correlates of invasion by Arundo donax in three southern California riparian habitats (2008, background): “Native plant communities have been described as either resistant or susceptible to invasion based on species diversity (Elton 1958; Stohlgren et al. 1999; Naeem et al. 2000; Kennedy et al. 2002; Levine et al. 2003) and on native plant identity (Prieur-Richard et al. 2002; Dodd et al. 2004).”
How strongly do interactions with closely‐related native species influence plant invasions? Darwin's naturalization hypothesis assessed on Mediterranean islands (2006, background): “Secondly, the invader is more likely to compete for micro-habitats and resources with its congeners (Crawley et al., 1999; Callaway & Aschehoug, 2000; Naeem et al., 2000).”
Plant invasions: merging the concepts of species invasiveness and community invasibility (2006, background): “Once propagule pressure of invaders is factored out, both physical and biotic factors determining the outcome of plant invasion can be studied (Chaneton et al., 2002), but controversy persists over which prevail (Tilman, 1997; Levine and D’Antonio, 1999; Naeem et al., 2000; see section VII).”
Impacts of Garlic Mustard Invasion on a Forest Understory Community (2007, background): “…(Brown and Peet 2003, Davis et al. 2000, Dukes 2002, Elton 1958, Kennedy et al. 2002, Knops et al. 1999, Levine 2000, Lyons and Schwartz 2001, Naeem et al. 2000, Prieur-Richard and Lavorel 2000a), but effectively controlling invasions that have already occurred requires an understanding of…”
ROLE OF ABIOTIC FACTORS IN GOVERNING SUSCEPTIBILITY TO INVASION: A TEST WITH ARGENTINE ANTS (2002, background): “1610 Key words: abiotic factors; biological invasions; competitive exclusion; condition-specific competition; habitat fragmentation; interspecific competition; Linepithema humile.”
Elton, C.S. 1958: The ecology of invasions by animals and plants. London: Methuen (2007, background): “May’s work and other recent studies (eg, Naeem et al., 2000 ) have ensured sustained research”
High competitiveness of a resource demanding invasive acacia under low resource supply (2009, background): “This may result from niche complementarity or reduced resource overlap, i.e., different resource requirements of native species collectively reducing resource availability for the invader, particularly in species-rich communities (e.g., Naeem et al. 2000).”
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; ”
Experimental support for a resource-based mechanistic model of invasibility (2001, methodology): “Soil nitrate and ammonium levels (mg/kg soil) were measured from soil samples taken from all plots in August 1999 (Ritchie 2000), and the above-ground dry biomass of the resident vegetation was obtained from a 10 cm´1 m strip of vegetation harvested from each unweeded plot in August 1999.”
SPATIAL HETEROGENEITY EXPLAINS THE SCALE DEPENDENCE OF THE NATIVE-EXOTIC DIVERSITY RELATIONSHIP (2005, background): “The prominent hypothesis in the literature is that sites with favorable extrinsic conditions for native species also have favorable conditions for exotic species (Levine and D’Antonio 1999, Naeem et al. 2000).”
SCALE DEPENDENT EFFECTS OF BIOTIC RESISTANCE TO BIOLOGICAL INVASION (2003, background): “…effect of these covariates on diversity may cause the relationship between invasibility and native species richness that is negative on a small scale to appear positively correlated across a large area that incorporates sufficient changes in these factors (Naeem et al. 2000, Shea and Chesson 2002).”
EFFECTS OF BIODIVERSITY ON ECOSYSTEM FUNCTIONING: A CONSENSUS OF CURRENT KNOWLEDGE (2005, background): “…of more than one trophic level, although experimental difficulties in doing so restrict many of these experiments to micro- or mesocosms (e.g., Naeem et al. 1994, 2000a, McGrady-Steed et al. 1997, Mikola and Setälä 1998a, Laakso and Setälä 1999, Mulder et al. 1999, Petchey et al. 1999,…”
Functional group diversity, resource preemption and the genesis of invasion resistance in a community of marine algae (2006, background): “Although several empirical studies in terrestrial grasslands have demon- strated that resource preemption by native species generates invasion resistance (Naeem et al. 2000, Prieur-Richard et al. 2000, Dukes 2001, Seabloom et al.”
What do the biodiversity experiments tell us about consequences of plant species loss in the real world (2004, positive): “Naeem et al. (2000) have shown in a manipulative experiment that resistance to invasion decreases with species richness.”
