Hotspots of plant invasion predicted by propagule pressure and ecosystem characteristics (2011, background): “However, at the same time and corresponding with the negative correlation between native cover and proportional exotic cover, competition from incumbents would typically confer higher biotic resistance to invasion, which would limit the overall abundance of invading taxa (Eschtruth & Battles, 2009).”
Divergence from the growth–survival trade‐off and extreme high growth rates drive patterns of exotic tree invasions in closed‐canopy forests (2010, background): “…perturbations which increase canopy openings such as native and introduced pests and pathogens (e.g. hemlockwoolly adelgid, beech bark disease) are likely to accelerate invasions (e.g. Eschtruth & Battles 2009), while also reducing invasion resistance by removing native shade-tolerant tree species.”
The Interaction Between Propagule Pressure, Habitat Suitability and Density‐Dependent Reproduction in Species Invasion (2012, background): “…recruitment fits with the theoretical expectations (Lonsdale 1999, Lockwood et al. 2005, Liu and Stiling 2006) and empirical results (Von Holle and Simberloff 2005, Eschtruth and Battles 2009, Tanentzap and Bazely 2009) for invasive species, including M. vimineum (Eschtruth and Battles 2009).”
Direct and indirect effects of alien insect herbivores on ecological processes and interactions in forests of eastern North America (2010, background): “2006), with interactions between canopy disturbance and propagule pressure being the most important factors affecting the distribution of exotic plants (Eschtruth and Battles 2009).”
Identifying hotspots for plant invasions and forecasting focal points of further spread (2009, background): “…organism-based generalizations are possible, for example the positive relationship between high reproductive output and invasive potential, characteristics of the recipient environment are also important determinants of invasive species success (Richardson & Pysek 2006; Eschtruth & Battles 2009).”
